The origins of the monoliths are still unknown.

Not entirely true. The monoliths actually appeared manmade, likely a prank perpetrated and perpetuated by a group of college kids. The objects were welded together using pieces of scrap metal.

My mom used to do something similar, with real smaller trees around the main tree, and mirror ponds and ceramic houses and figures. It was so pretty, and took up one whole side of the family room. She didn't do it every year... started it when us kids were grown.  

Morning, bro and Mum.

I went out this morning to run some errands.  It's a windy, gray, dreary day.  It's been drizzling on and off, with a few flakes thrown in.  I have a sleep study tonight, so fingers crossed I'll actually sleep!    And that means I won't get to see @Marty's weekly monochrome photo until tomorrow   

Count herd members and dream happy dreams.

Okay...

So here's my week 36 offering in my challenge to take and unload a new monochrome photograph every week for 52 weeks:

 It's the concrete steps leading from my lower garden to my upper one (on the left), and also to the upper story of the old two-story stone cottage in my garden (on the right).

(Just out of interest, that window in the old cottage, that I used for last week's photograph, is about 4ft 6in (1.4 metres) to the right of this one.)

Great photo, Marty!

Plan is/was to put a small Christmas tree at the cementery as Mom loved Christmas and my grandparents too. We used to celebrate at they house, we'd all dress nicely like we were going to a ball even though once the pictures were taken we'd trade our shiny shoes for slippers and my grandpa was very proud.

Anyway, the idea was to bought a small tree to put on the grave. I've found one yesterday with ribbons and small pinecones as ornaments, really cute, and I bought a light garland to put in it. It is perfect. But today bringing it home I realized, while it might have looked small-ish at the shop, once inside it's actually not that small...  I think it might be at least 50cm tall. 

So we won't put up the big fake one this year (but I'm definitely  decorating the house and putting the lights outside. I think I'll do it bit by bit so dad won't noticed too much ) and instead keep this one - it's a real one in a pot. And I'll see to buy a really small on this time for the cementery.

You gonna declare yourself God-Emperor of Lappland, too? So you'll be on the Nice List for life? 

I don't need to go to such lengths, my good behavior speaks for itself.

Hacking Santa's Nice List to add your name is not the same as earning a spot for good behavior.  Oh, and how are you listed by name or title?

Hacking?  An investigation has already proven that my Empire has never participated in any hacking of any sort!

On the real list, he's listed as an elf named Pip Squeak.  

This is obvious fake news, since elves don't receive presents on Christmas, so they can't be on the Naughty or Nice Lists.

Santa died? Well then, as God-Emperor, I have the solemn responsibility of nominating the next Santa Claus. I'll just pick a loyal citizen... who'll automatically place you lot on the Naughty List!

Now I have seen everything! Or is my eyes just playing tricks on me? I was scrolling down on the site and right beside where it has Privacy Policy/Contact Us  had @Albert1434's profile. I am not joking! I had to refresh the page to get it to go away! Weird! 😬 Is this site haunted? Or are all of you playing a trick on my old eyes? 🤨

I am so mad right now! I went to Walmart to get a few groceries, plus Christmas bags to put my sister's, brother's, my nephew's, my niece in law's and their new baby girl, Hadley's presents in. Plus dogfood, dog treats for my dog and dogfood for my stepson and his wife's friend's dog. Plus I got my stepson and his wife's kitten a toy. I got home and the toy was nowhere in site. I checked my ticket and it was not seen on there. I remember putting it on the conveyor belt. Now the kitten has no Christmas toy! Boo Hoo!
