Our redneck Christmas tree. How do you like it? Barbara bought the tree at the exchange, with lights, and then we all decorated it with whatever we could find. The round things are "pogs", which the exchange hands out as change because of the expense of shipping heavy dimes, nickels, and quarters overseas. I have been saving pop tops from soda cans since Day 1 here (old-school stuff that kids won't understand), and I finally found a use for them. Strung together, they make a lovely garland. IF YOU CAN GUESS HOW MANY ARE ON THE TREE, YOU WIN 7,000 IRAQI DINAR (THEIR MONEY). Guess by posting your estimate in the "comments" section for this blog.MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!
More to follow...

14 pogs - total value $1.65. Does the winner get the pogs in addition to the ID?
