Uploaded badly lit pic of my Christmas tree here
No.
And if I have any luck at all, it won’t be up until mid-December. If I get really lucky, we won’t even have a tree.
Basket of Santa heads? As a warning to other red clad fat SOBs who might come ho-ho-hoing around your door?
Yeah. I guess it’s to say, “Give us presents or it’ll be your head in this basket, old man.” 
That’s really pretty too! Wow, I am getting inspired. must…wait…for…December…Gaudete Sunday sounds right.
