Merry Christmas!

The Australopithecenes' family is growing, and with the arrival of Düssel the Neanderthal, they now have fire!

The start of Christmas

Losing the cats is sad, but it means I can get out all the things we haven't used in years because the cats would spoil them.  Or dress up in their clothes.  So Muffy and Hoppy have finally emerged from the closet.

Merry Christmas to all!

Away in a manger...

Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Hark!  the hairy beasts are singing!

Merry Christmas!

Atomic Nativity

And in contrast to Annie's fabulous First Nativity, may I present The Atomic Jesus Family. Like wow, man.

Merry Christmas!

Here is my Christmas present to you all: Kirk Munroe's "The Mince Pie Prince." It was my mother's book, but it must have originally belonged to her mother or her aunts. It was published in 1897. The pictures were "tinted" by the hand of some unknown child relative. Sis -- who do the pictures remind you of?

Oh my, it's the spitting image of him, is it not?! I always loved this book as a little kid, but I also found it a little scary, in the way the best fairy tales are. And since mince pie was my favorite holiday dessert it was something of a cautionary tale as well....I didn't want to turn into the M P Princess! xo, Sis

Merry Christmas Eve!

The First Nativity

Good morning, Sis!  House is spotless, presents wrapped (fingers crossed behind back).  Do you like my picture of Ogg giving Urg-a a Christmas rock?

Enjoy your party!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Good morning, Annie

Is your wrapping done? Your house clean? Stockings hung by the chimney with care? Hopefully your chimney repairs are completed so that Santy will be able to deliver the goods!

Merry Christmas and Happy Sewings in the New Year!

xoxo Sis
