Christmas abroad

We are now in our second holiday season in Ireland.
We went to the Gaiety Panto Peter Pan last night. Definitely a bow Troy Irish form of entertainment, cross dressing, musical, comedy, satirical show.
Today we got our tree. Last year we bought a tree and they said they don't doesn't shed needles here so no need to water,. We didn't believe it, but turned out to be fairly tire. Our Irish tree unwatered shed less needles than the ones in Oregon we watered. Hopefully this tree serves us equally well.

 We decided that we would by ornaments from each of our trips so
we have mask from Venice
Fleur de Lis from Wales
Titanic from Northern Ireland
Dragon from Wales
Ball from Paris
Sardine from Lisbon
Pinnochio from Rome








We are off to Christmas markets in Cologne this weekend so likely more to add,
but with that I am off.
