Because my great-niece no longer lives in Thunder Bay, and wasn't going to be in town to visit her father on the 25th (the first day of Christmas), we gathered at my Mum's on the sixth day of Christmas, Dec. 30th.
.
My winning Small World team (versus Darren Foulds and Ellie Törnblom). The Dwarves were Spirit Dwarves & so I could have two races in decline.
.
They've had this up a couple of months now. I believe it is a genuine prospector tent, as they do work from time to time for mining companies. I'm not sure if they sleep in it, but they do heat it, and I hear music coming from it at times.
.
Mum and I attended St. Luke's Anglican service & then went to the drop-in lunch at Suttons'.
Then I had a sauna, a nap, a small supper & prezzies at Mum's.
.
The Yellow Submarine ornament is from my brother, and hung on the tiny tree from my childhood.
I bought the olive wood Nativity scene Feb. 11, 2000 in Bethlehem.
I think I was c. 18 when my father played Santa for the Rotary Club Christmas Party. I came along as Relf the Elf, and gave out these homemade buttons to all.
.
Included a handful of us from Cambrian Improv this year.
.
As usual, as photographer I am in none of this dark blurry pix.
.
A group of family and friends of "Ben W." sang to residents of Pioneer Ridge Plaza Two, and then in the main lobby (pictured).
I think John and I in the photo above are playing "Early on One Christmas Morn" as recorded by Bruce Cockburn.
.
Though I don't have any plans to direct in the near future, I still thought it would be useful and interesting to attend this workshop presented by the 10x10 Play Festival. It was (despite my expression in the first photo).

Special musical guests were Greenbank.
First arrivals received a mug. I was first (just before 0600h).
This is how it's done. (Left up in public coffee room.)
