It's Christmas time in the city

It's that time of year again. When the children in the neighborhood love me, and my neighbors less so. It's time to decorate the balcony for Christmas!



First up, we have the now infamous 8 foot Grinch Santa that I'm pretty sure my neighbors across the street loathe. I have a bit of a reputation for liking "Hillbilly Christmas decorations," as one friend put it. But you know, there's no such thing as too many lights or too many decorations - well, okay, within reason.



And this little guy, making his second appearance, is the Santa I bought in Normandy a few years back. He's all the rage in northern France, they have him climbing up homes all over town. Total freaking hoot. And yeah,he's a little Hillbilly too. But how can you not love it? (And just wait to see what I'm cooking up for the inaugural!)
