Not so silent night
So the day after Thanksgiving I carefully put out most of my Christmas decorations. I put our brand new nativity scene that is made out of fancy plastic from Italy (a wedding present) near the front door on an end table. Here is where I mention we have a very tall and apparently mischievous dog who is attracted to small figurines. Anyway, so we left Moses (the dog) in the main room one Sunday and came back to a massacre. He absolutely destroyed all the figures in the nativity including pulling a angel off the top of the roof. We came home to the pieces and began searching through to make sure he didn’t actually eat any of the pieces. Well it turns out that Moses ate baby Jesus. Its true. Our dog tried to steal Christmas. The next morning baby Jesus made a repeat appearance as we heard Moses gag and I later stepped in his puke. Lesson learned 1.Don’t eat Jesus. Lesson 2. Don’t leave small plastic figures where you dog can eat them. Below are some pics and the reenactment.

Wow! I have to admit though…it’s nice to know Baxter isn’t the only bad dog. He hasn’t eaten baby Jesus, but last year, there were a few ornaments that didn’t make it through the season!
