A Few Photos
We saw a few sights on the trip:
Santa has a new workshop. Apparently, business isn't so good these days.
This was taken a new (and very nice, otherwise) outdoor mall. I think they wanted to have the Santa experience for the kids and parents, but didn't have an appropriate central location. So the metal building, so versatile and portable, was pressed into service. A bit too pedestrian for Santa, don't you think?
Next, an homage to the unofficial state bird of Louisiana.
This fella was standing right behind a trio of seasonal Nutcrackers, reminding them that he, not they, was going to be around long after the gifts were opened. Cool statue, but a strange item.
Finally, a musical interlude.
My nephew and a buddy preparing for their Christmas Eve concert for the family. Santa-aunt got him a music stand for Christmas...
Hope your new year is full of interesting encounters and family fun. Steve and I are headed to a party tonight (he's got a cold--send him lots of healing thoughts!), and will be hanging out at our fave LYS, Main Street, and recovering from the long drive back from LA.
