Yuletide is near and this is the December picture place
I love the blue tree.
I took a few pics of Christmas that's at home so I can have something to look at while I'm away missing my family.
The dining room with one of my old paintings that my mom put up today.

A lil Bob Hope I mean Marley

Already have gifts under the tree

A close up

I'm trapped in the ornament!

All green or not that is all so lovely!
You are a very good photographer too, Jaz.
Wow, Alecia has a house like those in the movies..
Jaz takes awesome photos as usual. I like the fake snow on the tree.
Here's what I woke up to:

view from my room

and from the living room.
Pretty snow! I miss the snow. I haven't been able to visit somewhere snowy in the past 3-4 years.
I actually like the green ornaments this year.
And thanks for the compliments about my photography. I've been missing being able to hone my creative skills. I'm getting the itch for another big painting project.
Great pictures Pepper and well everyone well as well. We just go out tree today and have to wait for it to fully unfurl to decorate it. I finally got the pice for this month and some from last out of my camera so here it goes.
First our mantle. This is B&W with a color filter for the red done in a camera setting.

Here is my dog trying to enjoy her new X-Mas present(her new bed) and being invaded by a baby.

Tammy took Emma to the Austin Zoo on a group playdate thingy. SHe loves little furry animals, and from what I am told got to hold a few and was very gentle.

It was Emma's B-day today, the party will commence tomorrow.

We went to see Santa at Cabela's when we were out tree hunting. Cabela's Santa is kind of Stony.


This is not X-Masie at all, just a great pic my wife got of me and Zoe.

Sorry Irina.... but I had to.

Jaz, I love your pictures. The green and white looks really nice!
Zak, who cares? Those adorable girlies take over any bear. Besides, I did take a picture with a polar bear made of lights yesterday in the park.
I like how excited Emma looks before that bunny.
Thanx imke.
Zak, Emma is adorable. And Zoe looks like a doll in that Santa pic, literally I thought she was a doll haha. Happy Birthday Emma!

First card from Hattie. And it was only now that I noticed the awesomeness in my bookcase. Left side of the photo - Henry Miller's Black Spring, separated from Anais Nin's Ladders to Fire by De los amores negados (Of Impossible Loves).
I like the filters Zack.
And Jaz, the decorations and pics look great--they look like they're out of a Christmas catalog.
Irina, thought that the Christmas market village read, "Buckwheat Christmas" instead of "Bucharest". Time to go find the glasses.
Will any of you let me have your Christmas joy? Please. I have lots of pictures of Goats, llamas and dogs but no Christmas stuff.
Zack, again, your life. It looks fucking amazing.
Amber, you are the coolest mom ever.
Irina your snowy landscapse looks like a wonderland.
Jazz your snow tree confused and amazes me
Everyone else I have to take this call but you all are great. JUST GREAT!

Here's some Christmas joy for you! *sprinkle*
This house is right around the corner from my apartment. It is the most ridiculous Christmas house ever. It's obvious that they love Christmas because of their need to own everything Christmas related ever made. I plan on going back there next weekend and getting more pics because this one doesn't do it justice.

Yes, get better pictures please Pete.
Noah,if I wasn't going to Hawaii I would so have you over for Christmas.
I love houses like that. I miss that about the US.
I don't know if this is sad or pathetic or whatever, but would you believe that there is only one picture of me in France. I mean, I took a bunch of pics of France, but I'm not actually in any pictures. It kind of makes me sad, because it was like this back in the US as well. Canada was the exception. But the one picture I have of me in Paris was taken by me and it's when I have all that facial hair. And my mom asked for some pictures for a calendar for my grandma and now I feel bad that I can't contribute and my mom better not be like "oh, but why, you need to take more pictures!" she always does that shit.
Anyways, I should start taking more pictures of Paris again. It looks different in the winter of course. I just get lazy. LOL
Im sneaking in your bag remember?

Oh that's right. Let's go!
Best picture thread for a while, love alla yous guys
I know, I'm feeling the love in this thread. It's strange how much in the Christmas spirit I'm in and it really sucks that I'm not going to be home.But at least I'll have more cool pictures to add to this thread when I get back 

It's like Amazon jungle themed.
I was 12 today.

and we got more snow

I was gonna say you look hot but you're 12 and that's inappropriate.
Weren't you around 13 as well?
No, she looks hot, its okay.

Today? Today I was 89.
Dirty old creep!
The classmate I hope.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I didn't actually say it, I said I was gonna say it!
Creepy stalky or not.
This is why we can't have nice things.
No, Jess is the creepy 89-year-old.
I SAID I WAS GONNA SAY IT!
You sinned in thought.
Lol jk, I'm still 22. 22-year-olds have pigtails too, don't they?
The best 22-year olds have pig tails
12 year olds shouldn't have handles.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Yaaay! My Sailor Moon t-shirt is here and it came with a mini bag of Haribos 

Cute top!
Definitely. I like that.
Yeah, it's a cool shirt!
It's from one of those sites where they sell a model every day and then it's gone forever or something. My best friend, who goes on those sites every day, saw it and ordered it for me, because he knows I love Sailor Moon. It was nice, and it arrived just when I'm feeling worst.
That's cute!
Here is the necklace that Giancarlo bought for his girlfriend for Christmas. It was reasonably priced ($23 after shipping), which made me proud of him because he said they had only been "dating" a little while and he didn't want to use too much of his savings.

Oh my God that is beautiful! She better appreciate it. Apparently you've passed your great taste to your kid.
Oh my god, that's so cute! Yes Alecia, you most certainly have brought up Giancarlo very well.
Ohhh, that's a very nice necklace. Go Giancarlo!
Fuck look that all blue tree givin no fucks. Best thing since the yellow house.
This was taken by my friends cell phone a few days ago at Emma's B-day party. I'm not sure if this is before or after my ankle injury that day.

I like your tree in the front window.
