BAP took this picture of Yo and Mo in front of the tree at the very strange Royale hotel. The Royale was built by Saddam Hussein and is filled with a weird mix of Mesopotamian and Art Deco decor. We went with BAP and Prof. G to the Embassies holiday bazaar. Crowds at the Embassy holiday event.
Mo lasted about 10 minutes - too many people bumping up to her and too many pushy holiday shoppers.
On Christmas Eve we were invited to the farm that our friend E is house sitting in Naur. E is an extraordinary cook and put on a fabulous feast - turkey mole (which E had to explain was mo-lay the sauce and not mole the rodent), fish pie, many types of salad and lots of wine. The company was excellent and the food divine.
The festive table:
Lots of cheer and merriment:BAP and Yo enjoying the evening:
Reading the cups - our friend LH is an expert at reading people's fortunes in their coffee cups.
The fabulous hostess, thanks so much E!!!On Christmas day we made a pilgrimage to Starbucks and put together a gingerbread house with our pal EC.

Looks like you two had fun. I love the tree at the Sadaam hotel, needles are over rated ;-)
Nice job with the gingerbread house!
Thanks for all the great pics of y'all.
Whoa - what fun trees! That looks like a very good way to spend Christmas. Have a great New Year!
