IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS....

 The tree is up and Dwight is busy testing the lights.......

 Illumination!!

 "Oooh boy!  Am I gonna have a Christmas Tree romp just like last year?".............

 Mommie is busy decorating, but with her big surgery boot, she needs two stools..........

 Fortunately, the Doctor says the boot might come off in just a few days if the bone is healed...........

 All these preparations can be just exhausting................

 But the next day, the humans are back at it adding to the tree......

Because the out-of-town children are trickling back for the holidays and Bianca is first!--here the Santa Fesanos enjoy a break in shopping to enjoy a lunch in Albuquerque..........

 Baby Binks is delighted to share some quality time with Auntie Sisi......

 And to get some advice from Uncle Danny.............

 Despite all the "La Nina" forecasts, we have actually gotten a good amount of snow in Santa Fe already this winter..........

 But not as much snow as Hyde Park where the sisters are going sledding in their team Suits......

 Now I know that their is an old superstition about walking under a ladder and another about letting a black cat cross your path, but what about walking under a black cat?............

 Now the holidays can commence in full because Kiki is back from New York--Here, Binks places the final topper on the tree while Keeks marvels over Winston's extravagant Xmas gift from his admirer and friend Tinker and Giano rubs his hands in anticipation and hope that somewhere he might also have a secret admirer to lavish him with gifts this Christmas..........

 So, the "Golden Child" sleeps tight knowing that he is the king of all he surveys..........But you better be good, Winston, you better not frown, because..............

We hope that all of you Gentle Readers have a warm and wonderful Christmas--just like we hope to have here at Cielo Azul.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!  And to all--A GOODNIGHT!
