[This here is dictated into the journal! Wow, exciting.]So I know there used to be some priests here, but have they all gone home? It's sort of hard to keep track of that sort of thing ( Read more... )

Advent... Isn't that where you have the calendar with candy every day until Christmas?

hellshaped November 28 2011, 09:11:39 UTC

That's the one. You light candles on Advent wreaths instead, though. There's not as much chocolate.

waterproofed November 28 2011, 11:53:48 UTC

But wouldn't the wreaths catch on fire?

hellshaped November 28 2011, 17:15:16 UTC

The candles are pretty tall.

Ah Advent, another tradition ruined by commercialization and excessive amounts of chocolate.

hellshaped November 28 2011, 09:12:04 UTC

[Oh, it's you.]

Seems to be a theme.

Isn't it just.

[Pause ... squinting at the journal ...]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just stating a fact.

Holiday pancakes? [MIGHT AS WELL ASK, RIGHT?]

hellshaped November 28 2011, 09:17:29 UTC

Yeah, they used to do this thing where they make special pancakes for the holidays. Gingerbread and eggnog, things like that.

housespecial November 30 2011, 01:40:53 UTC

...Doesn't sound half bad.

hellshaped November 30 2011, 08:09:00 UTC

One of the things I miss about America the most, their holiday-themed pancakes. That and hot dogs.

This is some kind of winter solstice tradition? [Cause hey, he knows what a wreath is and when they make them]

hellshaped November 28 2011, 09:19:32 UTC

Christmas. But it's kind of the same thing.

sir_durge November 28 2011, 19:40:35 UTC

Mmmmm...

Why does the wreath have to be blessed? Is it part of a ritual?

hellshaped November 30 2011, 07:57:48 UTC

If you like. The wreath's kind of like a countdown to Christmas, so typically it's blessed by a priest.

I can make some for you, if you want.

The pancakes part. [QUICK, HB! Get her while she still is a wonderful chef!]

hellshaped November 30 2011, 07:48:04 UTC

[YES ... ACCEPTABLE ...]

But do you have red and green sprinkles is the million dollar question.

huntersdaughter December 2 2011, 05:01:50 UTC

I... think so.

Last year there were a lot of Christmas cookies that got made. I think I stopped Eliot before he got too carried away.

hellshaped December 2 2011, 08:32:04 UTC

I think that'll suit us just fine. Any of that stuff still around?
