Merry, Merry Christmas

The Caribbean feast is finishing up. The Spouse and Child are playing on the Wii. Hat is showering and the table is set and I'm full of holiday joy and hooha. Oh, what a lovely time we've had. There are tales to tell, tales Biblical in their scope. There are photos, for lo, Santa brought me a sweet new camera. But for now, in the midst of my bliss, I pause to remember why this day is so special to me; I love the lights and wrapping and music and presents and excellent smells and food for days but most of all, being one of those nutters who believes things, I love that Baby Jesus all away in his manger, the superfantastic mystery of God made flesh.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

Blessings, Willym.

JP, over? Just got started here. But the Hat and I are agreed that your work schedule sucks and things must change. You should be here, right now, in your jammies, watching movies.

Stop stomping your wittle foot, JP and have some egg nog.

Syd: why, Christmas classics, don'tcha know? "Elf", "The Santa Clause", "A Christmas Story"...like that. Just finished "Miracle on 34th Street". Next up is either "White Christmas" or "It's a Wonderful Life".

Or "Hunt for Red October". Love me some Baldwin.

Hat: Tee. It was pretty fun, huh?

And to you, MHP!

Lorainne, you really need to watch "The Man Who Came To Dinner". Hilarious and worth watching just to see Monty Woolly chew up the scenery.

I'm happy to hear you had such a good Christmas and enjoyed my favorite aspect of the day, spending it with loved ones.
