<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">On the way over to Natalie's school this morning for their holiday celebration, I stopped to take a photo.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Not that the photo did this parish house any justice but trust me, it looked like Christmas.

</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Natalie's gingerbread man is the first one. In the yellow shirt and green shorts with a pearl necklace.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Interesting…

		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">She was nice enough to step away from the breakfast to take a photo for me.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And soon after I was shooed out of the class with the other parents.

		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Instead of going into the auditorium like we were supposed to do, many parents left.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I didn't get the memo we were supposed to stay or that pockets with skulls and bones were in style.

		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And I kept walking… 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Behind the lady pushing one doggy in her grocery shopping cart as the other festive dog walked next to her.

		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And I looked up to see bare tree branches besides the weird pod like things growing on them.
