We finally put up and decorated our Christmas tree today.
We received a huge (HUGE!) box from Gus's mom, chock full of beautifully wrapped presents (as seen in the picture above). In an impressive display of self-restraint, we actually put them under the tree this morning without opening a single one (though we did gently shake a few)! We're both really looking forward to unwrapping all these mystery gifts on Christmas. Thank you, Gus's mom! :)~~~
Monday update: We just received a huge box from my parents, too! Although those presents are not shown in the picture, they are also now in the place of honour under the tree. :) Thank you, Mom and Dad!

We also hung the stockings by the chimney with care, and set up the nativity scene on the mantle:
Note, if you will, Mortimer*:
And Mortimer's little brother*:

Where's Hilton's stocking? He must feel left out. Pretty tree, wish we were there (or you guys here!) Fun to see the pics and know exactly where there are taken.
Very nice tree!! Naked, glowing angel on the top is an especially nice touch, Gus. ;-)
I see the fireplace, but where is Hilton's stocking? or does he only get coal this year? Poor deprived kitty. If I were Hilton, I'd kill Mortimer.
:-)
That is a great tree. I was wondering what kind of ornaments you preferred.
Glad to see Mortimer and his little brother are still enjoying Christmas with Gus. They are actually made of knots -- they are macramé -- one of my many hidden talents :)
