Mystery Solved

I heard there was some controversy concerning the identity of a certain strangely shaped present pictured behind us in the Elegant, Classy Christmas Card we made.

Mystery solved.

It wasn't an ironing board or a slide, though extra bonus points to the slide guess.

But, here's the thing.  When you have nine-feet-high ceilings and you've managed to set off the smoke detectors a couple times...you realize that Santa needs to bring you a ladder ASAP.

So thank you, Weihnachtsman (Christmas Man).**  You did us good this year.


** Santa doesn't actually have a name here.  He's just "The Christmas Man."  

I think it sounds kiiiiiind of like a serial killer name.  Probably because one time I was walking home in the dark (it's dark at 3:30pm) and heard a creepy-sounding children's chorus wafting around the old city streets singing what loosely translated as, "He's coming, he's coooooming....the Christmas Maaaaaaaan is coooooming to seeeee youuuuuuuu."

Straight out of a B-movie horror film.  Am I right?

  1. Thaaat's pretty funny (about the smoke alarms). So how did you turn them off pre-ladder? Standing on Paul's shoulders?

  2. We've been borrowing the church's ladder since we moved in and thought that once we got the blinds and lights (we had to wire all out ceiling lights ourselves) up then we could return it.

    Smoke detector-gate proved that idea a bad one.
