Holiday Cheer!

Bit · 11-25-2009, 01:36 PM

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go!
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
O'er the white and drifting snoo-ooow!

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It bites the nose and chills the toes
As over the ground we go!

*bounces in her chair* Tomorrow is the Big Day---lots of Autumn food, and me and my sweetie together all day!! *just beams*

Thanksgiving to me is a celebration of the harvest and of being rooted firmly in Autumn, in the turning tides of the Seasons. We eat foods that are native to this continent--turkey, sweet taters, white taters, cranberries, corn--in celebration of the bounty of the land and in memory of the First Farmers of the land. We celebrate our bond as a family, two-legged and four-footed. We share with those in need.

And THEN *heh heh heh* we start on December and the Winter holidays!!! *dances, beaming*

This is my time of year.

NO. CHRISTMAS. SOCKS.

No socks with bells, glittery snowmen, or googly-eyed Santas. I feel like every time I see that shit peeking out from under a professional trouser that I have been flashed by a crotch with very active crabs. NO CHRISTMAS SOCKS!

In other news: I ordered a present for Jack from eBay and if she rips it open before I get home today Im going to kick her ass.

In brighter news.....the red and green rubbermaid containers are calling to me.......

I. LOVE. HOLIDAY. SOCKS.

That is all.

I bought a small tree this year already. Yes, I like artificial ones. The lights are already on the tree. Clear ones. And the day after Thansgiving I will be avoiding even pulling my car out of the driveway during Black Friday and decorating my humble little tree.

I've just woken from an l-tryptophan induced coma.

In honor of Diva and others, I was proud to wear my rudolph holiday socks to thanksgiving dinner today. I only wish they played music. Or lit up.

I'm getting ready to sing at Seattle's Westlake Center Tree Lighting Ceremony tomorrow night. Locals can look for me singing with the Seattle Women's Chorus. I think the festivities start at 4:30 pm. We're also being featured on King 5's Evening magazine tomorrow night from 7-8 pm.

Okay, okay. Enough plugs for SWC! Turkey Day is almost officially over and I can't wait to start decorating for the holidays!

{{{{{{{{{{{Lisa}}}}}}}}}}}} Thank you for avoiding Black Friday! I'm avoiding it too; last year someone died because people trampled each other... that's not holiday spirit to me, it's just plain greed.

Gemme and Puplove, I love holiday socks too. I wore out all my old ones; need to get some new ones.

Break a leg, cara!

*wonders how long Mr. Bent managed to stay awake, lol*

It is officially time now. I may sing carols!! Of course now that it's okay, I cannot think of any I want to sing. *blink* lol
