The squeaky angel gets the grease: What happened at Christmas time

We made some stuff that started out like this

or this,

and ended up like this:

We put out some stuff like this:

and this:

People gave us beautiful things that looked like this:

We gave people stuff that looked like this:

We made people wear these:

But some people did this all on their own:

We dressed up like this:

and this:

We ate some stuff:

We drank some stuff:

We won't say much about the night Collette got put to bed when the clock said this:

But just before that, she looked like this:

We naturally did a little of this:

and this

Followed by a bunch of this:

SOMEONE felt the need to prove that he could still do this:

We were, as always, grateful for these:

and these:

and that, while some things were broken,

most important things remained whole.

And this little diva squeaked her way through all of it.
