St. Nick

Our St. Nick tour also includes a visit to Mother Earth Gardens, where we can take care of a visit with the Jolly Old Elf and buy a Christmas tree in one outing (plus catch a movie across the street at the Riverview Theater and get a hot chocolate at the Riverview Cafe; it’s a perfect little intersection of urban goodness). The boys haven’t caught on that the Choo Choo Bob’s Santa had a real beard and that Mother Earth’s had a fake beard and an Irish accent; next year we may have to be more careful to maintain the verisimilitude.

Two cullings for today:
