photo Friday: Christmas Lenin

Every year, Lenin gets dressed up for the holiday season. This year, he really wanted to go big.



Of course, Lenin's a pretty big guy to begin with. You might say he's larger than life.

But he hasn't always dressed quite so… boldly. I did not get a photo of him last year, but here he is in 2008 looking more reserved:



and back in 2007 he just donned a scarf to show some team spirit, although he might've put on his Christmas star a few days after I took this photo:



Meanwhile, I ought to take a stroll to the troll, to see whether he's been decked with a hat so jolly again this year:



(He's wearing festive chalk makeup to celebrate someone's wedding, as you can see in this photo.)
