Rudolph on Injured Reserve

About 24 years ago I received a Rudolph made of wood, finely crafted by my grandfather (my dad's dad).

Rudolph's left antler was accidentally broken (the same 24 years ago... sigh), but a friend helped me repair him with some glue.

His antler had held up great over the years until last Friday night. That happened to be the night Eli and Adam were here. Eli's presence and Rudolph's antler breaking off again... well, these two events are entirely related to one another.

Lew and I just tried to repair the antler once again, but it was beyond hope. So I got out some masking tape and a bandage.

I kind of like Rudolph's new look!

But for Santa's sake, I hope we don't have a foggy Christmas Eve.
