Happy Thanksgiving, U.Sians!
Happy Birthday, Daisy!
I think I may put up my pink tree again this weekend!
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I miss the scent of real Christmas trees, but I don't miss cleaning up the fallen needles. One year my parents put up a beautiful blue spruce. The needles were tough and sharp as tacks. We were stepping on them through March. Pity, because the look and smell of the blue spruce were hard to beat. I guess the needles are their natural defense against the Christmas decorating industry. If I ever spend Christmas in my own place I'll get a balsam fir. Traveling for several days over Christmas makes putting up a real tree problematic.
I have an apple tart in the oven. I think dinner will be around one: turkey (from a microwavable package), dressing, gravy, peas, a fresh baked roll or two, and apple tart with cream. Plus early afternoon wine, for that extra touch of decadence. I could bake a sweat potato or some winter squash, but my stomach's gonna approach critical mass as it is.

Oh, I have to have a real tree. I also insist my parents get a real tree too, since I am their tree decorating elf.

Oh, since we were talking about ATM Machines and so on here, I wanted to mention that a friend was just complaining about "underground caves".

There seems to be a hole in the market for 12 Days of Christmas underwear too.

Because books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my head, underground caves are below sea level. Is that not so?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That one actually makes sense to me, because there are caves set into hills/mountains etc, and caves you have to go below ground to get into.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I think about it.

Emmett is already in his tuxedo for Thanksgiving. He doesn't need much prompting to bust out the tux.
