Ho Ho Ho

December 2nd


It must seem strange that a pagan like me is posting the nativity story. I was raised Catholic and there are some things I just can't shake. I like the story.

Meet Balthasar. He is Persian and like the other wisemen, is an avid observer of the stars. For many nights he has marveled at the extraordinary bright object that seems to be moving toward the Roman province of Judea.

All astologers (Magi) of the first century believed that bright stars signified the birth of great kings, and Balthasar wants to find this king and present his gift of expensive gold.


I finished another tree.


This might be my favorite tree skirt.


Click for a better look. I would like to wear this.


I am still trying to get a good photo of a tree.


I haven't found the angels for my other trees yet.


I wanted to show you this new cutting board I just had made. There is a company in Minnesota that will make any size you want. This is three inches thick and 22 x 16.


Can you guess what I am making?

If anyone wants to see yet another batch of Corner Store pies, take a look at the following post.
