Amid all the turmoil out there in the world, Ms. B. and I have managed to have
a pretty mellow Christmas season, for which both of us are very grateful.
Recently, we both have had to deal with some unpleasant health
issues, expensive cat health issues, and the loss of a dear loved one a couple
of weeks ago, so a little holiday joy has gone a long way.
Last night, we went to visit and have dinner with friends Bob & Yvonne,
which was a lovely time. We had some delicious food, excellent drink, fun
games, and great music. One of their (several) cats, Fry, hung out with us as
well, which gave us a few good laughs. Since they don't live very far away, I
walked both ways (though Ms. B. drove because she transported the foodz, presents, and other goodies), and I enjoyed seeing so many nice holiday decorations around
the neighborhood. Down at nearby Lake Lanier, there's a floating wire
Christmas tree, about 25 feet tall, which is quite lovely at night, as you may see in the photo at left.
This morning, Ms. B. and I opened a fair passel of lovely presents we got for
each other. I got a Space Godzilla figure, which I'm sure y'all will be seeing
amid one of my miniature sets very soon. To celebrate, as you can see above,
Godzilla took a festive Christmas morning stroll. The cats enjoyed some fun
wrapping paper adventures. After all the gifts were opened, I went for a
stroll around the neighborhood, only to find it unpleasantly hot out there.
It's not like I'm all that keen on freezing winter weather, but Christmas
morning ought not feel like it's late summer. But I did enjoy getting out
there, walking around the lake, and taking a few photos of the scenery.
This afternoon, we'll be having Christmas dinner with friend Samaire. And to
all of you who visit this little corner of the virtual world, Scary Christmas
to those who celebrate it, and Happy Horrordays to all.
