It's over thirty years old now, but the Christmas sketch from Yes, Minister still makes me laugh: [link]
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Buh bye, 2014.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Epic, glad your earring was found!
My gifts are all en route. Love reading everyone's accounts of what they received!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the place
Not a creature was stirring, except in one place;
The stockings were stuffed full of goodies with care,
Thanks to mom finding treats for all to be fair;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
Texting their friends all the thoughts in their heads;
And mom in her jammies, pours herself a night cap,
Before settling down for a long winter's nap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Merry Christmas to anyone to whom that is appropriate!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh man, we have awesome local soapmakers here, and good bakeries, too. But I really miss Moravian spice cookies. I'd give a lot for an afternoon in Old Salem. If MM isn't near done with that transporter, is anybody working on folding space? Might that be easier? Wormhole? Stargate? Ruby slippers?

On its way, and thank you! Let me know if you get it--and send your address back, all I have is an old one for you.
Jingle, y'all!
