My five-year-old decided to put out milk and pretzel sticks for Santa, and some carrots for the reindeer.

A couple Christmas presents in bags on the floor. In front of them are two bowls and a cup. The bowl on the left is sea blue and contains several carrot slices. The bowl in the middle, colored purple, curtains pretzel sticks. The cup on the right is blue and half full. The contained liquid isn't visible.

At church today, the choir sang a lovely arrangement of The First Noel to the tune of Pachelbel's Canon. It really was quite beautiful, but I can't hear Canon without thinking of Pachelbel Rant.

So, while they're singing, I'm singing along under my voice with "when I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, no woman no cry. We will still be, friends forever."
