| Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! |
OK, December is here! and the end of 2025! (and we're all still here... so far... but I think it's been a scary year for many)
However, I'm going to focus on the magic of Christmas for the time being. I think we need to try to enjoy the season while it's upon us (with family, friends, food, decorations, etc.)
A few pics from our house:

| Yes, it's a bit 'cluttered'... but we like it! |

| this was taken at the garden center where we get our live tree... |
I won't put up any pics of the tree yet... as it isn't decorated, but DH has put the lights on. We have gone from 12 ft trees to 10, then 8, and now 6 foot is what we got this time. Not only for the difficulty getting them in and set up (at our age), but also for the ridiculously increased prices. We love live trees for the aroma and just the naturalness of it. But we may end up being priced out if this continues... or we may have to get a 4-5 ft real tree and put it on a table next year.
I don't usually post much on Rabbit! Rabbit! days, but I wanted to share a little of our Christmas decor so far...
... and also because I mentioned at some point (in a comment) about posting something in reference to the 1968 movie, "2001: a Space Odyssey". Someone brought it up in a comment on Apache Dug's post... and it reminded me of what happened almost 58 years ago.
DH and were married in January of 1968. The movie came out in April... and we went to see it in September (or thereabout) - I was 8 months pregnant with our first child at the time.
Do you remember the music to 2001? Well, it's very dramatic and the baby inside me certainly responded to it. He almost kicked his way out during that movie. We thought about leaving, but didn't. Luckily he wasn't born for a few more weeks. But listening to that movie's music always brings back memories of that time and place... and confirmed that unborn babies certainly hear the sounds around them.
And the reason I'm posting this so late in the day is because DH and I went to the mall earlier today to do some Christmas shopping and I wanted to show you these 2 Lego pieces that were featured there:

| full size adult Lego Santa! |

| and this black and white Lego Cat |
How cute is that?
That's it! Try to stay warm (it's finally cold here - in the 30's).
Hugs (virtually),
Rian
