This year we celebrated Christmas Eve with some Welsch
Traditions!  As you can see Stryker wasn't too excited about
the "Mari Lawd".  This is a strange tradition that involves a
decorated horse head making a visit to your home and asking
for food and enterainment.....quite funny.....Papa had fun
playing the part!

Helmut and the Mari Lawd that we borrowed from my
friend, Linda Lewis.
