one last christmas decoration
« on: January 09, 2013, 23:39:52 »
I wanted to take a picture before this thing got packed away. I am not sure what it is called but the candles heat spins the center. The center is filled with carved and pained wooden figures. I have wanted to take them out and replace them with Klickies but they are too tall and there are no kids to accurately represent all the characters, oh and the wife would kill me  :P She bought if for a few dollars and just loves how it works so well. Kind of like finding  a complete playmo Steaming Mary for $10 at a yard sale or equivalent.

This is how we decorated it this year.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I love it too, of course I love anything that spins or goes up and down!  Your wife obviously has great taste!  ;D The Santas and angels are just the icing on the cake.

I wouldn't blame her.  ;)

Thanks for the feedback on the decoration  :xmascheer:

Yes Joe, its a big hit with everone just for that reason.

Ismene, She never would need a reason when living with me  :lol:

Thanks George, hopefully next year we can redecorate it and have it as a center piece of a Christmas  diorama

Tahra, thanks. I would prefer it to have playmobil as the characters and then your restraint would be futile

Thanks Pynedor, its actually takes the "cool" right out of a room, its burning hot  :lol:

Maybe it was a cooling fan invented by the famous Polish inventor who also made the solar flash light and screen door for the submarine.

it is a Christmas pyramid.... originates in the Erzebirge mountains of Germany.... careful though, they burn quickly if they catch fire  :o
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.
