Hey! Ho! Holiday Cheer!

I feel like our holiday season started on Leeloo's birthday this year. That day happened to be the same as the tree lighting in our little square, during which she met Santa for the first time (some words take her forever - but Santa - first time first try, and it stuck).
So, yay for this years holiday extravaganza! Here are the highlights:
