December 20


Our tree, all lit up at night.
If you look in the shadows in the lower left corner, you can see Oliver sitting nicely next to it. This is unusual - he prefers to be in the middle of the presents!

Its just beautiful, Mari, and I am so jealous, I have none of my wrapping done yet, I really must get at it tomorrow. A tree to the roof is awesome, Merry Christmas to you and yours !!

Oliver is obviously just contemplating which presents are his!

Gorgeous tree! Our cat likes to lay under it too. Now there are presents there and she does not do that. Kinda like 'no room at the inn'
