Advent Calendar 2015 - Day 18
The Julbock or Yule Goat is Scandinavian and Northern European Yule/Christmas symbol that is made of straw. Its origins may predate Christianity. In the pre-Christian days, and in modern Pagan time, goats are associated with Thor, the Norse god of thunder, who rode a chariot that was drawn by his two goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr.

Pearl Harbor Day
Blessed are those that faced this day west of Honolulu, Hawaii at the U.A. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and the U.S. Army Wheeler Field and Hickam Field (both now USAF - United States Air Force) . As Hawaii was being attacked there was almost simultaneous attacks on the American Territories of Guam, the Philippines, and Wake Island as well as the British Empire in Singapore, Malaya and Hong Kong. The attacks - from the landing of troops in Malaya to the attack at Pearl Harbor - took place in only a seven hour time frame. This was seen by the Imperial Japanese as preemptive strikes to keep the American Pacific Fleet from interfering in the Empire of Japan's planned actions in southeast Asia against the territories of Britain, the United states and the Netherlands.
So as we remember the Americans that died this day at Pearl Harbor let us not forget the lives that were killed from Guam to Malaya. Bless them and keep them all, no matter their religion.

McQueen Monday #11
This is from McQueen's Fall/Winter 2007 collection. I love the back. It has bit of maybe late Renaissance or maybe early Victorian. I am not really certain but I do wish I knew what the front looks like. I am still searching for a photo of the front of this dress.

Good Morning
The lighthouse in Bioxi...or is it Gulfport? Anyway, it is on the Mississippi Gulf coast and it was one of my favorite place to go when I was little. The last time I was there was about two months before Hurricane Katrina attending a family reunion. I can still smell the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico.
