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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was pretty angry to have heard Wonderful Christmas time at the nursing home this afternoon....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

there are at least 50 levels now

Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen...

I onerused and took a big load of Hubby's clothes to the homeless shelter. Some sturdy shirts and pants, some sweats, a couple of coats. Now I just hope I don't see a familiar piece of clothing out on the street and have one of those wretched "Oh, look, there he is" moments.

Jesse was it timing or inappropriate sentiment for place?

I just hate that fucking song! And now it's in my head for the next month!

Mmm. Just had a PixDrew turkey dinner. With Sara's cranberries. Now I'm slowly eating a small piece of pie.

Y'all are too good to me.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm so glad it was good!

I'm very glad, for all y'all, even if I can't manage a meet.

Pumpkin climbed me, full on scaling-jeans, while I was pouring caramel into the cookies. And then remained on my shoulders. I guess she missed me?

First run of cookies. [link]

Will require 3 batches. Thinking about mixing nuts in rather than rolling, which is a PITA. chocolate cookie, pecans, caramel, secret spices and kick.

Left some along with a bottle of good Malbec and a reusable bottle bag for my non-cat-having neighbor who had to deal with my cats while they had the runs while I was away. Suitable apology, I hope. Apparently, she's now thinking about getting a cat, despite last weekend, so there's that. Loki watched football with her. I think that went a long way.

Oh, I think we're going to do a cookie exchange at work. I'd better start thinking. I'm not actually much of one for cookie-making, so I don't have much of a repertoire. Maybe vw's pumpkin chocolate chip?
