Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Once upon a time, this corner shelf used to hang in my grandmother's kitchen, and nowadays in mine. Some of the items on it are there all year round; but around Christmas it also serves as home to some wooden "forest gnomes".
These little ones have their place on top of my cooker hood.
Believe it or not, even more tiny ones are still asleep in the bigger of these two little cottages. (The name on the door is S. Claus.)
This lot used to be kitchen gnomes while they lived in my mother's house. Since they came to live with me, they've been relocated to the bathroom, though. (More room for them to spread out there...)
Outdoors, the weather has turned - the snow and ice is all gone now, rain has been pouring down all day, and the sun never bothered to get out of bed (i.e. it's been very dark all day). I've not set foot outside, and am not quite sure what I've actually been "doing" at all... (Resting, watching Netflix, and listening to Christmas music... Recently took a cheap subscription to Spotify again, and just discovered how easy to cast the music from the phone to my TV/stereo...)
Your red candle holder resembles our Hanukah menorah; only the menorah is for nine candles. The ninth one , the shamash (attendant), placed in the middle or in the beginning, is the one that lights up the eight other candles.
