We had a happy Christmas with Jen’s folks. Sarah’s stocking was brimming, including with this new hat. Sarah spent many late nights crocheting to create this beautiful blanket for her grandparents. Jen was a bit less certain about my gift for her, a new scythe, with both grass and brush blades.

Sarah returned home yesterday for winter break from Colgate, after briefly being snowed in following her last final Friday. Today we were able to snag one of the nine remaining xmas trees at the Phantom Gardener, just in time for the first night of Hanukkah.

Last Saturday we watched the annual Sinterklaas parade from Guy Lawson’s office above Periwinkles in beautiful downtown Rhinebeck. To me, Sinterklaas looks and sounds a lot like Santa Claus, but apparently if you surround this imagery with enough woo-woo puppetry it falls on the right side of the First Amendment.
