I was reading a very interesting article by the religion editor of our local newspaper...it was about the "Keeping Christ in Christmas" movement, and what it was really supposed to be about it.

Evidently it is about observing Christmas as a charitable time, giving to those less fortunate rather then going the consumerism route and buying presents for your friends and family.

I like the idea, but I wonder if all the people in the mall parking lot with those "Keep Christ in Christmas" bumper stickers even have a clue! LOL!

JMK, fine to let them know, as long as you instructed them that it won't be on the site till Monday at six am.

Yep, told them it wasn't live on Kritzerland yet, that this was a "special favor."

DR Elmore, I hope you rememberd to punch some breathing holes in the carton before you mailed it.

Of course I did! I may think you're a freak of nature, but I think it humanely.

So, this past Thursday was our annual Holiday Potluck at work...it was also the day of my new supervisor's retirement.  She'd been at Timberland for 19 years.  Anyway, when she announced way back in April (I think) that she was going to retire in December, she came to my cubicle and asked if I could play at her retirement party the song from that show where I wore the Carmen Miranda outfit (you know the outfit).  The show was Harlequin Productions' "Stardust for Christmas" in 1995.  I sang "Boom Chicka Boom," from Nick & Nora.  I have the original Broadway cast recording and I said that I would be happy to play it.  Well, I recently remembered that I also have the videotape of the Stardust show and thought that it would be a lot funnier if I actually made a DVD of the song and played that.  Well, I did!  Everyone loved it!  A couple of people suggested that post it to YouTube, so I did!  If you want to see me in performance in the Carmen Miranda drag, click HERE.

If you don't want to see it, don't click HERE.

:D


That is terrific, George!  Frightening, but terrific!

Vibes, Laura, that you get at least two kids this year.

We got a few more kids. But we can't find most of the costumes. Of course, we had to wait until today when the kids were there to start looking.

I am sleepy. But I need to do my 20 minutes of exercise.  Although I'm afraid that my rebounder (mini tramp) may break. It's sort of on its last legs (literally).


I dated a mini tramp once.  It was a very short affair.

Happy Birthday to DR's PennyO and DanTheMan

I'm awake and feeling like a fought a battle.  Vanilla Cherry Swirl Nyquil seems to do the job, but the last few nights I have dreamt some really weird stuff.  I think I'll try and sleep without it tonight.

2 shows of A Christmas Carol - The Musical today.  It's suppose to storm all weekend.  Right now, it's calm.

And these are the days of our lives.
Either that or serve the Vanilla Cherry Swirl Nyquil as a holiday punch.

No. In fact a couple of the friends who keep talking and talking and talking about it are almost belligerent. And they behave that way with shop keepers, clerks, etc. Nothing Christian or Christmas-like in that.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm still laughing a few moments after it's over.

I shipped packages, did some errands and whatnot and was dismayed not to receive the important envelope - hopefully Monday - I hate the USPS more than ever at this time of year.

Greetings from the west side of beautiful Lima, OH.  We stopped in Cridersville to take a look at the retirement community guest house where we will spend Christmas weekend.  I've now started a list of all the food items and accessories that we need to bring with us and I suspect I will check that list way more than twice.

What I didn't see in our Christmas weekend digs was an Internet connection, so, unless there's wireless, we'll be offline from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon (may be able to have a quick Sunday morning check-in if we go to Panera for breakfast on our way to church...)

GLEE takes place in Lima, OH? O the difference between reality and fantasy! Might as well be Lima, Peru.

Yeah, DR Elmore, they make occasional references to "Lima losers."

Ginny, your card arrived in today's mail. Thanks so much.

I'm listening to Radio Wales right now and then I will lay down for a while before going to bed for the night.

Sounds like the same thing, right, but I don't want to go to bed at 6pm because I'll miss a medication moment and I also don't want to wake up at 3am. I want to sleep as long as I can.

You're welcome, DR Ben!  I'm so glad you're home and suspect you arrived there somewhat sleep-deprived.  I found back in August that the hospital is not the place to get a good night's sleep!
