Happy Merry Chrismukah!!!

Yesterday morning Laura and I celebrated our third Chrismukah. Laura is Jewish, I was raised Christian, so we decided to mix the holidays. In 2004 my big gift to Laura for Chrismukah was Dixie, an inflatable reindeer (Dixie was later featured in my photo series "The Adventures of Dixie"). Dixie is now our "Santa" and usually makes an appearance for a few weeks before and after the holidays.

This year we got a tree, my first live one since I was a child living in Indiana. My mother was kind enough to send me many of our old ornaments that I made way back in Christian school and some that my grandmother crocheted. We also added a few Star's of David and Menorah Candles to keep it real.

We had a blast! I felt like a kid again. Laura's face, after she saw that "Dixie" brought out a bunch of presents after she went to bed, was priceless. Totally corny but 'tis the season.

I got me some iPod Shuffle! See more photos here, here and here.
