13: Christmas Serenade

1. Someone got a black light for Christmas.

2 . Someone else wore a piñata hat after it was opened with the force of a baseball bat.

3. All the usual suspects were there.

4. And then some.

5. If our annual Cookies and Kahlua Neighborhood Christmas Eve Party  was a scene from A Christmas Carol, my son Josh (pictured left above) would be the Ghost of Christmas fun.

7. I call this picture “Pearl Learns to Use the Force.”

8. My son got our grandsons flying drones for Christmas and so did we, so there were lots of them flying around.

9. There was a Christmas serenade here and HERE. 

10. And someone got a  puppy that was passed around.

11. The Christmas Pinata was a hit!

12. And that’s a wrap!

13. Silver horn trumpet / plays an angel’s top note / Pied piper’s call / for the stars to come out / A sleigh of moon / filling with light / delivering the stars / all in one night / Perpetual flame / from ember to blaze / Unshaken by storm / A kindle for dawn – Read Solstice Moon Compilation in its entirety HERE.

    Christmas Eve on “the kid’s” deck in shirtsleeves sure beat being home in 15 degrees and a wind chill. We’ll be leaving you day after tomorrow, home by New Year’s, but I can certainly see why folks love living here. Still, I’ll be glad to be home after a month because–after all–home is where …

    Home is where the annual Christmas Eve neighborhood party is! It was warmer than we’re used to too, Ron. Next time you’re in state, swing by Floyd!
