What is a "mail order bride" and how was I signed up for this?

[There's very soft choral music playing in the background; HP herself sounds calmer than usual. She's good at this time of year.]I would like to invite everyone to a Christmas service tomorrow. We do not have the resources for anything elaborate, but we will do our best to accommodate all denominations. We'll begin at 7 AM; no RSVP is necessary ( Read more... )

[ Hello, Thor! You're being treated to a live broadcast of the Sunday morn-

You can see some bits of color on the glowing white collar of the woman in the video, and haunting music seems to be blaring in the background.
