Happy Holidays!
Hello Hobbit Fans!
Hope this finds you well and well endowed with the Christmas spirit. I'm working on it, as it seems to be quite slow in coming this year, despite a steady dose of holiday tunes from the 24-hour Christmas music station in Houston.
My niece, the Bean, is reading this over my shoulder. I should say something pithy so she'll be impresed. Except she doesn't know what pithy means. She should go and look it up. My other niece, Alex, is on the phone (of course) proving that the more things change, the more things stay the same. Pre-teen angst and drama haven't changed since the early 80's. This is either a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on whether one is seeking evolutionary change or hope for the future of our nation. Whatever.
For the record, I believe #3 is off being beautified.
Anyhoo, like I said, not much in the mood this year. I forced myself to buy a wreath for the house. I figure that as a new homeowner, I should do some kind of decorating. Couldn't muster for the tree thing. I think that had more to do with the fact that last year's tree (obviously artificial) didn't get un-decorated until June. And only then for a party.
Actually, I think my Christmas spirit is fine. What I am lacking is enthusiam for the merchandizing, commercialistic c-r-a-p.
In that spirit, enjoy this season of expectation and joy. Visit family, renew friendships, bake a really tasty cake.
See you in 2008. Oh, and if you want to bring 2008 in style, come check out Ars Lyrica at the Hobby Center on the 31st!
