Well, you've read the notes, the notes were feeling the Christmas spirit and it, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently feeling the Christmas spirit and it.

And the word of the day is: BEDIZEN!

I'm hoping whatever maintenence they've been doing will not happen this morning - that would be most unseemly.

We alerted you a few days before the event in hopes of planning a party - but got no response

"Bedizen the halls with boughs of holly...."

Well, now we know why the word is not in favor!

Ever since we've split up the number of topics into subgroups, it's been very confusing. I must have missed the post that alerted me to the upcoming landmark, but a landmark it is and we should all dance an Irish Jig or a Polish Polka in honor of it.

Only sixty posts or so until 22,000 postings.

We could have a Hora Hoedown!

A Hora Hop sounds like a Persian diety!

Right now, on the Showtunes digitial music channel, Jeanne Lehman is singing "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," from the "Jerome Kern Treasury" CD. Jeanne Lehman was a very close friend of my friend Nona, who died a couple of years ago.

WheW! Couldn't get on the board before work yesterday, so I find 18 pages - the rest of Friday and a HUGE Saturday!

Great work!

DR JMK has a new gig and the spaghetti sauce is cooking. It must be December the 24th (a SCROOGE reference.)

I am working today - we open two hours earlier than usual on Sunday - but when I return tonight I will be watching A CHRISTMAS CAROL, courtesy of DR ELMORE....a ballet that I am anticipating with much pleasure.

Good morning, all! I've just listened to the wonderful. "A Ceremony of Carols" and now The Western Wind is singing a collection of carols. I'm on my second cup of coffee and contemplating what to do with the day besides wrap gifts and drag out some holiday DVDs.

I have a bit of Toyland work to do here on organizng my libretto report, and I need to purchase more coffee. I also have to call my dad and check on him. I've begun reading Carl Hiaasen's new novel NATURE GIRL.

Yesterday, when the site was down, my unhappiness at the inability to connect with a bunch of wonderful friends from all over the globe showed me how important you all are to my daily existence. Oh, god, I sound needy! Since it's Christmas Eve, I will extend my wishes to each and every one of you for a safe, wonderful, and healthy holdiay season.

THE HORA OF MENSA - wasn't that a Woody allen story from years back?

Chanukkah ends and Christmas begins almost immediately after that - my kind of year

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers.

I propose that those of us who have them should post a photo of our Christmas Trees.

Christmas Eve morning greetings! Back to baking for me - today it's 2 pumpkin pies and a pecan for tomorrow's gathering in Cincinnati. This afternoon we're having a small celebration with my mom and my aunt here at our house. The menu: Honey Baked ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, apple salad, ice cream & cookies.

While baking this morning, I'll listen to the live broadcast of the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College in Cambridge. It starts in about 20 minutes.

Good morning, dear virtual friends.

We are here on the Isle of Long preparing to celebrate Christmas. We took the train out yesterday (and waved to Vixmom and crew and William F. Orr and Joe as we passed through the Deer Park area). We finished some last minute errands, had a wonderful dinner of shrimp creole and now I'm about to remove a bloated, user-unfriendly program from the computer (Norton Anti-Virus) and replace it with a better, more user-friendly and, best of all, free program called Spyware Terminator.

I won't be on much until we get back to the city, either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning, Mr. Morelli hasn't decided yet when we will leave. But I did want to say Happy, Merry and everything else to our group of virtual and real friends. I can taste BK's sauce even without being there.

Hugs and kisses to you all. We don't have a picture of the Long Island tree so I can't post it and our picture of the tree in NYC is, surprise, in NYC so if I remember I'll do it when we return.

TTFN (or Ta Ta For Now)

It's another pretty day, but that should change this afternoon and evening as another storm front moves in with rain.

We expect showers overnight and tomorrow.

Good Morning dear Esteemed BK--

A very warm Christmas Eve wish to you, and all of the very best wishes and vibes are sent to each and every one of the wonderful Dear Readers and friends here at HHW.

Enjoy this day to the fullest, and everything in it. We don't know what lies around the corner, but we can take the time to enjoy the moment we are in and to treasure it.

Thank you Bruce, for creating this unique, crazy, and magical place where friends have been made and laughter and tears have been shared.

Today is "JOY" day at our house. At least for me.

Today is the day my mom fries me some chicken.

I love my mom's fried chicken.

My mom can FRY some chicken!

My mom, aunt and I spent several hours yesterday afternoon and evening playing Scrabble.

Normal Scrabble for a few games, and then Super Scrabble for a couple of games.

We all won a game of each version, so we're copasetic.

Are any of you copasetic?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #28 on:** December 24, 2006, 08:14:57 AM »

We are going to my cousin Debra's house for Christmas Eve dinner.

We always go to Debra's.

Sometimes we have pork loin, sometimes we have barbecued chicken. We have had hamburgers. Two years ago, I made spaghetti sauce and took it to her house for our dinner.

This year we will eat steak.

Let them eat steak, I always say.

What do you always say?

MusicGuy · « **Reply #29 on:** December 24, 2006, 08:15:45 AM »

I have no Christmas tree picture this year,......

........however...............

.... as this IS HHW..................

I thought I'd share this picture I call "dreidl Pup." It is just as cute as any tree!
