We're off to EM's house!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

I'm glad I took today off. I peeked at work e-mail and have zero messages addressed to just me only system messages that our financial system won't be updated today - which means, I wouldn't have updated data to work with anyway.
I have cut green beans for tomorrow and sweet potatoes are roasting in the oven. Presents are all wrapped and the house is clean. Once the sweet potatoes are done, can I go to bed?
OH, and we are supposed to have a White Christmas! Two to four inches overnight! Very excited. I didn't think it would take 5 years in Colorado before getting a White Christmas.

We just finished our 7 fishes feast at Mom's so full. Mom and Stepdad bought TCG and I a Le Creuset tagine. I can't wait to try it out.

Oops. I meant to post that in Bitches. Hi, Natter!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Merry Christmas!
I am feeling human again although coming down from painkillers. Getting ready to make gingerbread houses with the kids and listening to the Christmas mix Hec made for me a few years ago.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm glad you're feeling better, Cash.
We got an unexpected inch of snow here tonight. It looks lovely. In about 10 minutes well be heading out to see Les Mis.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's snowing here too!
Glad to hear it, Cash.

Guess who can't listen to Christmas music tonight? Me!
At EM's house. She got rid of her CD player when she got her iPod, and then her iPod died. She's getting a new one from Emmett tomorrow (which I loaded with Christmas music) but she won't get it until tomorrow.
We've already watched Elf and nibbled our way through an antipasti tray. Dinner in a couple. Matilda's wound up, Emmett's head first into electronics and JZ's hiding in a book.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We've misplaced a box of ornaminks: the stuffed calico ones I made, one of H's velvet beaded ones, the flocked paper tin soldier, angel, and gnome on skis from the Christkindl's Markt in Nurnberg, the Santa hats for Dougal and Truman bears, and most woeful of all, the candle clips. I have the candles, but they're fruitless without the clips. (No fruit for Bev).
Still, everything's done, the teevee is pretending it's a fireplace, and the local fire department just drove slowly down the street serenading us with Vaughn Monroe and Bing Crosby carols over the PA--cheesy as hell, but I have to admit it's charming, too. I'm about to succumb to Christmas schmoop, oh noes. I'm still winning on LDB, though. If I get to midnight, what do I win?
Merry Christmas Eve, everybody!

Hey Bev, I found the Santa hats for Dougal and Truman bears.
