Christmas Dessert Consumed: Corncake with cranberries in caramel sauce.
This was a new one, but so very delicious.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Behold the weirdest headline you're going to read this Christmas:
Convicted Urine Collector in Trouble Again.
It's the "Again" that is making me laugh and laugh.

I have officially been declared Naughty by best friend's wife, who did not appreciate the Christmas Story leg lamp I gave him. Even better, their oldest son was gung-ho about turning it on tonight and ransacked the place to find their one lightbulb that would work: a bright red one.

I like Matt's kind of naughty.
The kids both decided to hit the sack without dessert. Don't know if that means they are sick or that dinner was so good, there was no room for pie.
Santa is happy that the stocking items filled the stockings just right, no overflow and no empty spaces. Woot.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
It was a rough Christmas for one family at mass: the adult daughter fainted during the service, and the EMTs were called. She had gotten herself into one of the vestibules, so nobody could see what was going on, but she had plenty of attention, and after checking in with them, the priest had the mass continue on. Once the EMTs had taken her out on a stretcher, the priest told us she seemed fine and was just going to the hospital for observation.
But yikes! Poor woman. I hope she's okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have managed to get sick and dump a litre of water over my laptop and papers.
I want to be in Jamaica already, not staring at the contents of my big bag all over the departure lounge.

I'm sorry, ita.
Happy Christmas/Yule/low traffic Friday to all! I'm sitting around watching my sister assemble a coffee cake. (I did the dishes so she'd have room to work, so I haven't been too slack a house guest. Besides, I wanted sis to have room to bake.)

Good morning! We have been up since 5:45 (yawn!) and already into the Building Giant Lego Sets phase of Christmas. Things that are awesome include Trader Joe's chocolate croissants (how did they get a French baker in my freezer like that?) and a brain-shaped Jello mold from Nutty - giving new excitement to the traditional Jello salad. Also I adore my recycled-bottles tablecloth that feels like fabric and is machine-washable, but liquids bead up on it!
I hope everyone is having a peaceful and/or joyful morning.
