Jesse, I meant to say yesterday that I love the moving nativity. That is awesome.
Tonight's dinner: ahi tuna w/ shredded carrots in a ginger/garlic/teryaki sauce w/ soba noodles over fresh spinach leaves. Oh, I'm going to love living here. Once all the freaking snow melts. Pretty, but PITA.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Continuing my string on ridiculous holiday specials, I am watching the Thomas Kinkade movie. Snowy days seem to require stuff like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally copied my mother and put the nativity folks on my bookshelves, too. It's cute!
I just wrapped some presents, so I can bring them over tomorrow, but then I remembered both that I had a concept to bring a big suitcase for Christmas, so I can put everything else in there.

It's totally a lovely tradition!
We used to always read the Jesus story (wtf, I have no idea what else to call it- it was a fairly traditional kid's book, I can even remember the pictures) every Xmas Eve. I think my mom still misses it now that she's the lone christian in a family of the faithless. It was wonderfully written. I should tell her to bring it to read with the boys. It's a nice tradition, regardless of belief.
Jen, after the holidays, I need to have you over. So happy to have you here!
Snow has let up and is vertical for the first time. eta: oops, I lied. That was 10 minutes ago. Is lighter, though.

Apparently people in Boston buy eggs instead of toilet paper, along with their milk and bread -- half of the snowpocalypse jokes on LJ are about french toast. Funny!

I wonder what happened to our old nativity scene. It wasn't anything remarkable, paper mache and plaster from a 5 and Dime back in the '50s, and most of the farm animals has lost at least one leg. But I loved arranging and rearranging and admiring the robes on the Kings. I hope my sister with the grandkids has it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love the movable nativity, that rocks. I have a nativity from when I was a kid that I made of, um, literal rocks. But I didn`t set it up this year. I am feeling like the only unfestive one. My neighbor decorated this year, because he got married. Heh.
