Christmas madness! How many cell phones do you see in this picture?? Dean is tickling Wes with Mr. Tickles. Everyone needs a tickle! Santa brought Dean 'millions' for Christmas. He even sent something from 'Merica'! He's excited to come to 'Merica' and go to the zoo and the 'quarium'.

There is a Romanian woman on the other side of this gentleman. She was running this creepy Christmas display on a street in Cork. The dolls were kicking ferociously to some music.

Trying to get a picture of the crazy Christmas crowds on Henry Street in Dublin. The 'Stiletto in the Ghetto' almost ruined it!

More cookies!!! It's not Christmas without these!

When my sister gave me this sugar cookie (or as they call them, 'fat cookie') recipe she said, 'It makes a huge amount!'. Uh, no kidding! The batter bowl was filled to the top! I thought my hand mixer was going to crap out! I'm determined to bring a Christmas treat into the office that isn't a mince pie.

Ahh the work Christmas do! Dylan is showing off his jaunty silk tie. This is after he combed his hair with a fork. Apparently that's how they do it in the West Country. See the guy behind him? We think he might have been a pimp. Seriously.

Here's Little Kitty observing the Christmas tree. We both miss our own decorations currently in storage. :-(

Danger! Danger! I gave in to the weakness today. This is bad because these M&Ms are earmarked for some Christmas goodies. I can't afford to eat them all now!

Raul was a total Scrooge when some of the girls at work were decorating the office for Christmas. So we decorated his desk for him while he was at lunch. Here he is talking on his freshly tinseled phone.

Emma bought the CUTEST sewing box at Cath Kidson to give as a Christmas present.

First Christmas lights of the season! Sorry about the poor quality picture, but actually the picture does depict the display fairly accurately. I feel a little creepy taking a picture of a stranger's house, so I don't want to stand out there too long trying to get the best setting for my camera.
