Celebrating Christmas in the US for the first time in 13 years. My kids decided we had to have a Caga Tió so we are making one to show the cousins

Halfway through Christmas cookie baking and a transformer blew and now the house is dark and the cookies are not cooking.

The kids are happy because now we are eating out.

My youngest planted and has been growing oak saplings. She has four of them. She is gone on a school trip and there is a starling that keeps uprooting one of them. I chase it off and replant it.
I am currently feuding with a starling.
