So this week I put my big mathematics-blog project on pause. This is how it ended up being busier than it's been all year. Run there recently were:

I suppose I have a pattern for next week too. And now, here, in the photo gallery we get to the decorations of our own house.

Back to our own home. Here's the downstairs tree decorated. We went with all white lights this year, not from a conscious choice but from realizing once we had the white ones on that it looked really nice as-is, and felt that adding strands of colored lights would over-illuminate it.

Sunshine, meanwhile, enjoys not having a fire and snagging a bit of hay out of that bag she's ripped open. Note that it's the same hay she has in the minder inside her pen, but she likes this more, I'm pretty sure because she feels she's getting away with something.

Our upstairs tree, as it's lit up, which we have on a timer so it's lit about as we go to bed and about when we wake up.

Looking closer at the upstairs tree. Notice on the bookshelf behind a couple of plushies from amusement parks, including the Pineapple Duck that we won at Darien Lake.

And here's looking at the tree from above.

Our living room, showing much of our decoration. The Holiday Favorites is a sign I snagged from Video To Go when that video store went out of business. ... Hey, wait, just a second ... computer, enhance!

Sunshine's snuck her way past her bag of hay to eat from the far side of things. Also from where she can eat the Christmas tree. This is all prelude to her getting into the fireplace, where she should not go.


Trivia: In July 1905 Germany signed a defensive alliance with Russia against attack by any European power. At the last minute Kaiser Wilhelm II added the proviso ``in Europe'', so that he could not be committed to sending German troops, for example, into India in case the United Kingdom went to war with Russia.
