back from Christmas Eve service. I don't like being up in the choir for it, or maybe it was just tonight. The service seemed too down and serious, not enough Joy To The World and Go Tell It On The Mountain and Hallelujah. We sang all the lullaby songs and bah, not what I wanted. now I am putting my songs together.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We've watched two episodes' worth of TV on Hulu, and if I have to see another jewelry add that implies or flat-out states that jewelry is the only gift worth giving to women, I will lose my FREAKING MIND.

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.
That is awesome.
CJ and I just got back from seeing The Hobbit. Wheeeee. Now a quite evening watching the snow fall. I finally get a white Christmas!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Booze! Booze is a good gift. Or electronica! New gadgetry. Or cars, cars are always a good gift.
Really, I don't mind jewelry--I just don't like the jewelry advertised on tv. Diamonds give me the yawns. Gimme something with color--semiprecious stones, enamel, or textured metal. Something that does more than just *sparkle*!
Ha-ha, David! It doesn't count if you don't hear the music, and I backpedaled too fast to hear the first note!
Here's last year's group shot. Truman's in the crib with the pig, the chimp, and the rest of the bears. Dougal's on the chair with Daniel. There were candle clips last year, too.
Yay for good friends, good music, good movies, and no heart attacks.

I just remembered that I have an unassembled Gingerbread house. That sounds like a good tomorrow project.
I have a ridiculous amount of flannel washed and ready to be cut into PJs. We're really into PJs this year. It takes about an hour to make a pair from start to finish. It's not particularly tedious nor challenging. Just.... tiring.
Here's the only holiday photo I have that I love: Grace at her class christmas party with a friend I. [link] Happymaking to think she has friends, frankly.

I hate those "every kiss begins with Kay" commercials. I like jewelry and kissing, but don't care about diamonds. Also, according to that logic, all my kisses are invalid.

Nah! The kids chose their own fabrics: [link] which made them super happy. And K has a pair out of the same fabric as Grace. They are mindlessly easy to sew. The issue for me is cutting them out.

yeah, it's just time I guess I would rather just do nothing or something.
I need to get in the kitchen if we are going to have pie tomorrow.
