It is still Christmas until January 5th, so this is a Christmas post. Today is Childermas, which commemorates the “Massacre of the Innocents” described in Matthew 2:16–18. Chronologically speaking, it might make more sense to have this commemoration after Epiphany, which is January 6th, but so it goes.
Anyway, in honor of this somber day, I have a picture of myself with Magical Girl Number 2. Recently, we visited The One, an annual event in Enid, Oklahoma, which boasts of featuring the largest fresh-cut Christmas tree in the world. It seems a shame to cut such a stately tree for this purpose, but maybe it gets used for firewood afterward. It certainly is impressive to look at.
