Well, it was the Yoshino-Yudhishthu first Christmas together!  Well, first Christmas together - in our new house.  It was also our VERY FIRST TREE!  Can you blieve it?  We can barely take care of each other, but we somehow managed to hunt and chop down some poor, unsuspecting tree and water it long enough to put some decorations on it which were manufactured by some 8 year old girl in China. 

Our friends Roy (aka Roy'd Rage) and Katy Lay (aka Lay'd Out) helped us in our hunting expedition.  We also purchased a 8' tall inflatable Homer Santa for the yard.  Per the New York Times, inflatable holiday figures in yards is a "sure sign of white trash".  Well, that's not they what they said exactly, but you have to read between the lines.

Finally publishing this on 6 January 2007.  All of our resolutions have already been broken.  Have a great year!
