From the roof of the apartment we watched this Christmas Eve sunset. When I stood close enough to the edge, I could hear smooth-jazz-esque Christmas songs floating up from one of the other home gardens off the Callejon.
The sala fireplace, complete with festive a poinsettia.

Yesterday Madison gave a Christmas Morning puppet show for the garden occupants. The landlady's caretaker also invited her grandchildren to come. Madison worked his few Spanish phrases into a lovely performance- everyone got several good chuckles out of the act. The Little Vampire was a big hit, as was Sammy.
The Little Vampire, asking me to be so kind as to untangle his strings from his hands.

One of my absolute favorite memories of 2008: The day I woke up crying so Madison put on a puppet show for me to cheer me up. See? Bad things can become good things if you wish hard enough.

I love you!
