Yesterday was Christmas. Michele's knees were bothering her, but we still managed to take in a walking tour of the holiday decorations, in between raindrops. Pictured below is a sampling of what we saw, our favorite being the gingerbread kitty being tied up with string by the gingerbread mice. Too cute!

We also made way for a team of huge oxen following their master. When he stopped, they stopped. When he walked, they walked. It's fascinating to see so much strength under such pastoral control.

In the end, the rain won out, and we spent the afternoon in our room watching a video on the restoration of Williamsburg. Then we had dinner at a local restaurant. Still a great day, despite the poor weather. We hope yours was joyous as well.
