Happy New Year!?

We were at a mall yesterday after a doctor's appointment (see Zeke's Blog) and we saw this really big Christmas display with the giant pieces of candy (which Zeke, at one point, looked after longingly), a little gingerbread house, Christmas trees, snowmen, snow, candy canes and much more. Also, along the bottom, it read, 'Mutlu Yıllar,' which loosely means 'Happy New Year!' Anyway, we'd mentioned this in a previous blog, but we thought we'd share again and show a couple of
pictures of it.

We also found this scary Santa Claus mask in the local grocery store, where, upon taking the picture, we were told by a security guard that we shouldn't have. Ah, the bliss of international ignorance. Dan did see him laughing as Tami was taking the picture. We didn't take anymore, though.

Well, all that to say, Happy New Year to you all! May it be a good one and may all your resolutions come to fruition. :)
