...memories are all we have left, and, of course, some photos...

It took a while to dress the Christmas tree. And about as long to actually make it.

-- The tree growing on the right hand side was left in its original wild state, with the snow and all.

Santa's little helper, catching his breath, accompanied by Rudolph's little brother...

-- For the record, he was not much help in dressing of the Christmas tree.

He later realized he'd be more comfortable in Santa's sleigh. Little impostor!

Real Santa, as busy as he was trying to fit all of those presents through a narrow roof (@abcdoctor's flawed design), being already aggravated enough, told the helper to get up quick and go see them rabbits (you'll see them later, too).

-- There you can still see the scoundrel behind the tree...

And we have to hand it to Rudolph for his patience in all this!

New character alert: see if you can spot the Squirrel! And of course, them rabbits!..

You don't have to count the pine cones if you don't want to, but it does help to bring about a tranquil mood, or so I heard...

By the way, the pine tree was made with the sole purpose of hiding the pillar right in the middle of the set that almost ruined the whole scene. @abcdoctor was resourceful enough to find a solution ;)

It seems the naughty helper

Has found his way

Back to the sleigh

rhyme intended :D

But not for long...

-- As you can see, he was sent to see them rabbits again...

Them rabbits!!!

There they are!

3 workers, 3 working days, some balloons I think, and that was the result.

Happy New Year and maybe I see you next Christmas Steemians!
