SARAH SLEAN RELEASING NEW ALBUM IN MARCH ASGLHKGH. This is, in a word, brilliant.

We went to get our Christmas tree yesterday. There's a tree farm about twenty minutes out; very lovely place -- apparently they don't get a great lot of business, so far as we can tell. Maybe they do it as a side thing. Anyway, you drive up, pick out a tree,

Eeee. Sarah Slean took me a while to warm up to, for some reason, but I'm kind of in love with her by now, and...way too many of her songs are now wanting to get on my Thieves' Honor playlist. >_<

Heh, I've always had a fake tree. It's not as romantic, but at least we've never had it fall over...

Also, at some point I need to talk about the spooky Victorian-esque awesome which is PJ Harvey's White Chalk.

*shifty eyes* I can has?

We used to do that in FL. It was one of the traditions I missed the most when we moved. Plus my little brother is allergic. In DC we had a separate school room, so we got a real tree for it, and that was splendid.

Your tree descriptions sound eerily like my own experiences. :P For the past two years our tree has fallen down at least twice, so we have tied it to the wall. This year, we have bought a new tree stand, so hopefully it shan't topple over. Just to play it safe, however, we're just going to put the tree and lights up to begin with. Then wait a few days before we actually decorate it, so if (when) it does fall, we don't lose any ornaments to the hard wood floor.

PJ Harvey's White Chalk was one of the loveliest things that happened this year, was it not? One evening before it got too too cold, during a full moon, I went outside on a walk and listened to the whole thing straight through. It was like magic
