Charlie Brown Christmas.

Commence with the Peanuts dancing!

Just so you know, according to Hubby, 5 cents in 1965 is equivalent for 31 cents today! Lucy's advice is a bargain at twice the price.

Also, Shermie is absolutely correct: every year he does end up playing a shepherd. How meta!

Christmas in August? Yep, when you're in a department with almost 20 other people, you gotta claim your Christmas time off days now, baby. So I locked those up with my team leader today.

Then I decided to go to Continental's website and shop for our plane tickets, more out of curiosity than anything. OMFG!!!!!!!1~~!@!! $900 a ticket?!? WTF1000Oh ( Read more... )

So hey! How've you been? As revdrmarsh pointed out, I was away for a while. Hubby and I drove down to Williamsburg, VA, for Christmas, from the 23rd to the 28th. Hubby's parents, sister, brother-in-law and our baby nephew came out to meet us, and we all shared a 3-bedroom condo. Baby nephew was a darling little guy, as long as he was properly napped and fed ( Read more... )

Look what Hubby got me for Christmas!

(We're not doing gift exchange with his family in Williamsburg, and I wanted him to have his present. Oh, who am I kidding, I wanted to open my present too!)

He knows if you've been bad or eh-notsomuch,
So be eh-notsomuch for goodness' sake.

till Christmas! Eeps!

We had a busy weekend, but fun. But first, did you see Battlestar on Friday night? Nukes hurtling toward the planet, Starbuck falling out of the sky, Cylons massing for an attack... aaand g'night, folks! See you in January! Consider that cliff hung.

Ho ho ho! All the cool kids are doing it. ( my xmas stocking )

So, what are your favorite Christmas/holiday songs? Here are some that grace my iPod round the clock these days:

• Jose Feliciano, "Feliz Navidad"


• Emerson Lake & Palmer, "I Believe in Father Christmas"


• Anything from Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (I just ordered the DVD yesterday! Whee!)


• Chris Rea, "Driving Home for Christmas"


• David Bowie & Bing ( Read more... )

This is the great thing about media and the Internets. I'm sure the homeowners' association was finally shamed into doing the right thing by all the negative press:A subdivision has withdrawn its threat of $25 daily fines against a homeowner who put a Christmas wreath shaped like a peace sign on the front of her home ( Read more... )

Tonight on TV!

I'll be the one Peanuts-dancing and decking out my house for the lights & display contest.
