I got the bright idea to have a picture made with holiday outfits. This was the first attempt at modeling the new threads. The Jacks were not enthusiastic about their holiday finery. Disney looked mortified. Riley liked sporting the hoodie for about five minutes. (Jacks have short attention spans.)

We've got other holiday tasks to work on today. I'm not sure how they'll react to the tree and the yard ornaments. It could be an interesting afternoon. Last year, Tig barked at the lighted Christmas deer when he noticed them (after they'd been up for three or four days). He's almost 16, so we cut him some slack on the guard dog duties.
