Hadda "go somewhere" again today.
We started with a park where we saw a strange creature with three heads and two legs... This was one busy dad!
Next stop was a supermarket to pick up some lunch. See? there is no problem with "Merry Christmas" here!
Nor here, either.
Gotta have Christmas Cake on the 24th! Everybody thinks that they have to eat chicken, too, so don't even think about trying to get near a Kentucky Fried establishment tomorrow! Pilgy says it is amazing how many people suddenly all turn Christian on December 24! He has a point. They'll all turn Shinto again on January 1. Go figure. Well, I guess they gotta start understanding Christmas somewhere. If the people don't worship maybe the whipped cream will cry out God's praises.
Here are some more cakes to choose from.
Now this cake was good, but a little scary... I think they are trying to convey the idea of a deer and a Yule log, but it also conjures up visions of venison dancing in my head.
This is a statue in front of our train station dressed up for the occasion. I used to stick wild flowers in the bell of the sax before we moved here, but apparently someone did not appreciate my efforts and a hole was drilled in the lowest part of the instrument so that it could no longer hold rainwater. I was rather shocked, but Mrs. Compukermann will be glad to know that I got over it.
Colonel Sanders always gets dressed up at Christmas.
