Happy Christmas to all!
Stay warm!
Florida Greetings!  Be sure to look up!  You never know if an iguana will be ready to fall from a tree and as they can be up to 18 pounds, it would hurt!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Of note, it's the bicentennial of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement C. Moore. He recited the poem to his family on this date.

Here's actor Jim Carter reading the poem:

Enjoy!

A couple of days ago, the hatchling was delighted with one of our ornaments. Like, really delighted. But I brushed against him and it shattered. He's still talking about it, though.


After hours of internetting, I think I know what it was: a blue-ish geometrical diamond, almost certainly the one in the middle (https://www.michaels.com/assorted-4.5in-geometric-diamond-glass-christmas-ornament-by-ashland/10698586.html) there. Alas, they cannot be shipped, and no store within 200 miles has one. Sigh. Perhaps I can find one closer to a relative and send them on a mission...

Still, at least I know what it was, now.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Happy holidays to all, and a wonderful new year to come.

Para:  if you find the ornament for sale after Christmas but before you take your tree down, it might prolong the enjoyment for Hatchling? Christmas keeps on keeping on?

Yeah, there's no rush. Aside from my guilt!

Merry Christmas to all, wishing you good company, good food, and above all, good weather considering the circumstances.

Taking a break from a few rounds of eating.
