Santa and Snowman, too much eggnog?

Our local grocery store, the Hy-Vee, always puts blow up seasonal figures on its roof.  But the stress of the season seem to have gotten to Santa and the Snowman, or was it too much rum in the eggnog or too much ice in the snowfall?

Le Claire downtown at night

The lights  are up in downtown:

Bund, Pudong, Shanghai

I successfully did the taxi thing and met my co workers for dinner.  Great dinner.
 
The sky is not that clear.

The Bund, Shanghai

This is where we are going to dinner tonight.

Hopefully, I can do the taxi thing.

Christmas Tree Farm

Today we went to Trees and Traditions, a Christmas tree farm in Le Claire, and harvested our tree.  It is just a couple of miles away, directly inland from our subdivision.  Here are some photos of the event.  Yes, there is snow in Iowa right now.
