Continuing my string on ridiculous holiday specials, I am watching the Thomas Kinkade movie. Snowy days seem to require stuff like this.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

But I`m happy anyway because I am drinking herb tea in front of the fire. And I restacked the firewood today so my deck rack is full and my back is tired. And I have cookies my mom sent me and I got $100 from my part-time job boss and I`m on winter break! Whoo.

My parents have one my grandfather carved, which is beautiful, along with one made of that yarn-in-plastic-grid stuff, which is the moving one -- the little Jesus doll fits right up inside Mary!

Hilarious! And my mother said, out of the blue, "Tom Champion hasn't called!" I was like, I KNOW WHO THAT IS FROM THE INTERNETS.
