The Joe and Noel Post Holiday Shopping Adventure was postponed slightly this this year due to my not being here on Boxing Day. We started the day beffore lunch today by heading to Anthony Scornavacco Antiques before lunch.
They weren't doing half off but I ended up getting this fantastic belsnickle Santa anyway. He's a nice shiny purple and has some kind of real animal fur for a beard.
He goes very well with the other purple Belsnickel Santa I got at Anthony Scornavacco Antiques (formerly Nakashian O'Neil) earlier this holiday season.
After Anthony Scornavacco we stopped for lunch at Red Rabbit on Grand Avenue and then stopped at the gift shop at the J. J. Hill House on Summit Avenue. Turns out they didn't have a lot of holiday merchandise and they weren't even doing half off.
I still have another week off so I stopped by Stogies on Grand to get stocked up on cigars.
Also stopped at Gypsy Moon. Now. they werer doing half off and you can see the bunches of stuff I don't need but hey it's Christmas and it's 50% off.
It was a balmy 42 degrees when I got home from shopping and the sun was shining. Perfect day for a cigar.
Checked the temp for Phoenix just for kicks. Only a 25 degree difference.
Dale got home from a bike ride shortly after I got home from shopping with Noel. Stepped outside and Lit up a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. Loved it.
Chili for dinner. It was delicious. We watched Christmas in Connecticut while eating and I had some eggnog spiked with a little Tanqueray gin for dessert.
