It's that time of year ..

for Tallulah to toss the reindeer from the mantel.

 

David and I arranged the decorations for Christmas on Sunday, and Tallulah lurked with her usual suspicious self as she eyed the tree, the mantle, and the wreaths with disdain.

 

 

 

. 

 

Then, when the mantle is complete, she hops to it -- because she can,

 

finds the loathsome, red reindeer with 1999 on its left antler, and

 

 

then waits.

 

Monday morning --- 1999 red reindeer lies four hoofs up on the dining room floor.

 

 

Yes, it's officially Christmas.
