I've got the Waitresses' Christmas song stuck in my head--and just the "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas" bit. I'd like it gone now.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Bah Humbug, but that's alright cause it is my favorite hokiday.
ION - I am not even halfway through foling, stuffing and addressing my bosses holiday cards. NOT GOOD! as it is past halfway through today and they really need out today.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The rest of the time, it's the Downton Abbey theme, which does too have words, they are just "Do do do do do do do do do DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAHHHHH"
Well if we're going down that road, the words to the GoT theme are "dum dum DADA dum dum DADA dum dum DADA dum dum, DAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAA DADADADADA DADA dum dum DADA dum dum..."

Thanks to you people, I now have "Little Drummer Boy" stuck in my head.
I like all the menu planning talk! We're hosting both our families (my parents, my brother, and M's parents, though not his dad's new wife) and haven't really done any menu planning yet, so that needs to happen very soon. I'm thinking french toast and some kind of eggs+veggies dish for xmas morning, maybe a big soup the night before. Lots of nibbles & snacks. That's as far as I've gotten. Ooh, except I really want to make latkes! I made leek fritters a couple weeks back that were really yummy and not too difficult, so now I'm emboldened to make all kinds of delicious fried things. Does anyone have a good latke recipe?

Which, as we learned from Spinal Tap, is a very fine line. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are Vietnamese rolls a "thing" or a random name that particular restaurant gave their most disgusting dish? I've never understood "I don't like seafood", but just holding one of those and smelling them, I had a cold, limp, salty, flesh sensation shiver right through me. It was horrible.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
We usually do lasagna on Christmas Eve (and New Year's Day) and a turkey dinner on Christmas. Last year I made Hello Kitty waffles and scrambled eggs for Christmas b'fast and will probably continue that this year (we also had Mimosas - sadly I will not be enjoying those this year as I am heavy with child).

Paging Tom Scola! The bankrobbers did make the ropes out of bedsheets. Enough of them that they were able to rappel down 15 or more stories.
And they piled up sheets and clothes in their beds to make it look like they were still there. Exactly the kind of trick that alwayswould never have fooled my mother in the fourth grade.
If Michael Scofield were still alive, he'd be pretty pissed right now.

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

I've usually seen Vietnamese rolls to mean rice paper wrapped around some cucumber and carrots and cabbage and either tofu or shrimp, with peanut sauce to dip it in.
