Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

not your mom's socks.

Really annoys me.

and is devastatingly bad luck. Somewhere, I acquired the superstition that you're supposed to have your tree out of the house before New Year's. And that all of its minions are supposed to go with it.

I like lights. I hate blinky, strobe-ing, migraine inducing stuff. And roof setups that require their own power grid. Over top of a garage with a hybrid in it. Really, people.

Ha! I have this, too. I think I got it from my Dad.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy birthday, Daisy Jane!

JZ, I'm not technically around, being in Indiana for a funeral but that picture of Matilda killed me. I think Olivia wore that once. I'm thrilled she can wear it--and she looks adorable in it!

Decision-ma for you about the job stuff.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

sox is me. Blinky lights make me wanna puke, give me a headache, and go postal. Ack. Also, any decorations that make noise. That includes the buzz of an overloaded circuit or the constant drone of a generator to power too much junk. Plus I just don't get the inflatible stuff. But then again, I am a bit of a grinch when it comes to Xmas. JUST CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE PEOPLE!! Stop calling half that crap "Christian"

Oops. Sorry about the rant.

Hey. New board.

I bought pretty Winterthing lights today. Low-power, clear, totally non-blinky, inoffensive Winterthing lights. I'm excited to find a way to hang them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, Daisy Jane! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.

My decorating pet peeve is people who leave the decorations up for months after the holidays. Really annoys me.

"...And I just know you're going to get those Halloween decorations out of the yaaard. I'm at Radio Shack, yeah. And they have all these new phones--and I NEED a new phone, isn't that the darnedest coincidence? Nokia, Motorola..."

I miss that commercial. Not Christmas season without that commercial.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm with omnis.

But I do like the tasteful, teeny white lights on other people's houses.
