On the first day of Christmas

Ok, I know that the 12 days of Christmas are actually the time between Christmas and epifany, when the Wise Men arrived.  But, we're taking the week off work so yesterday was the first day of our Christmas break.  We started finishing the siding in our entryway.  It's been slow starting off as we figure out our process and learn how to keep from having bubbles in the touch up paint.  But the first course is in.
