We would like you to meet Boudin, our Belgian Christmas tree that we got from Ikea this year! Why did we name it Boudin (pronounced: Boo-dahn)? Well, it's rather a complicated connection, but when Zeno was in the army there was a song about no more Boudin for the Belgians... Boudin is actually a type of sausage, but that wasn't the connection for us, rather, it was the fact that since Boudin is in our living room in Italy, it's no longer for the Belgians.... So, now that that's all crystal clear! Introducing: Boudin!
Yes, we're the ones who decorated and trimmed him so very nicely and festively!
There are some very special and wonderful ornaments on Boudin. For example, we have:
The Christmas Fish!!!
The Grape Cluster is an ornament no Italian
Christmas tree should be without!
The Crystal star is truly beautiful.
Going right along with the Grape Cluster,
apparently the wine flask is a necessary ornament!
Here is our city-scape scene of Indiana!!!
We need to make sure our internationality is properly
displayed with a bit of the good old USA!
This is our Christmas Raccoon! We think he's afraid of heights...
Our Christmas butterflies!!! Symbolizing the new and beautiful life that came when Jesus was born.
Here is our Christmas Frog. He says:
you make my heart leap!!!!
And last, but certainly not least,
is our Christmas puzzle ball!
We put it together on the flight
to the US last Christmas ( =
Merry Christmas!!!
