I hope everyone’s having a great Christmas this year! I know I am so far, and since it was just my birthday two days ago as well, I’ll soon write up the usual post of my haul. And we saw the Tintin movie on my birthday, which was awesome, so I’ll have more to say… Continue reading Merry Christmas!

The gift tally
Really good holiday this year (by which I count my birthday and the Christmas days together), with good gifts but especially with family and good friends. My birthday was fairly low-key, with just the family and a boozy theme: a gift card to the Brew Shop, a giant bottle of Jack Daniels, a magnum bottle… Continue reading The gift tally
Auld lang syne
I suppose the measure of how good a New Year’s party is would be the hangover you have the next day… if so, then the party we had last night was a pretty good one. It wasn’t wild or crazy or anything like that, we just had friends over (a bunch of them brought their… Continue reading Auld lang syne
Obligatory post-Christmas post
Okay, I freely admit I stole the title from Jake. Everyone have a good holiday? Mostly? Good. There’s no denying it, Christmas is for the kids. We had more presents under the tree than ever, I think, almost all for them. And, they’re just at that age now where Christmas is a Big Deal, possibly… Continue reading Obligatory post-Christmas post
Merry Christmas
Charlie Brown: [shouting in desperation] Isn’t there anyone out there who can tell me what Christmas is all about? Linus: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you. [walks out to center stage] Lights, please. [a spotlight shines on Linus] “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their… Continue reading Merry Christmas
Christmas with the bloggers?
So earlier in the month Shannon floated the idea of a Bend Blogger Christmas party. Not too many people responded, but since then we at least decided on a date if we’re going to do it: Saturday, December 10th. Would there be any interest to this among our local bloggers? I’d emailed a few to… Continue reading Christmas with the bloggers?
Post Christmas
Yes, this is the post where I detail what I got for Christmas, etc. I’ll even throw my birthday gifts in there for good measure. It was a good Christmas, too. (First Christmas in our new house.) After we got up and opened up presents, I made some giant French toast on my new griddle… Continue reading Post Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Some Christmas Eve wishes for everyone. I likely won’t be online much tomorrow, there’s just too much fun to be had in realspace. So, Merry Christmas, and I hope Santa Claus brings everyone what they want!
Christmas parties galore
So Thursday evening the kids’ daycare/preschool had their Christmas program, with each class performing two (or more) songs. Before the performances, Santa and his elves had arrived and all the kids waited in line to see them (although when you’re talking about kids ranging in age from 1 to 5, “waiting in line” is relative),… Continue reading Christmas parties galore
The Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And… Continue reading The Night Before Christmas
