Deck the halls & other things

This weekend we put up our Christmas lights. We don't go for the complete saturation look with music, but it's cool when others do it (Rybes!). Since this is the first time we have decorated our new home for Christmas, we're still figuring out what to do. It's a work in progress right now.

The Smart seemed to need decorating, too, so we bought this little outfit at Walgreens. We have named the Smart "Pookie", after the lion puppet on Soupy Sales, so this is Pookie the Red Nosed Smart-deer:

Those of you who remember Soupy Sales' kids show (mostly us Midwesterners) might like to check out some of his shows on youtube (my F&J coworkers had better not view this at work - check it out at home!) Here's a good one - fast forward to 3:42 and watch for Pookie singing the "Chew Tobacco Rag" - keep on watching until 7:11 for the last gag.
