I got up early this morning (as usual) and am doing last-hour things.

I've opened all my Christmas cards.  Randy sent two envelopes, one for Thatch and one for Annabelle.  Only hers arrived yesterday, so I expect Thatch's to arrive tomorrow.  I think I'll hold hers till then.

That's appropriate. Tell them they are Boxing Day presents. Cats LOVE boxes.

No middle-of-the-night doorbell ringing last night.

T.O.D.

Christmas Eve was very exciting.  I watched(?) TV and dozed on and off all evening.

I've been looking at a lot of Cher videos after seeing the Broadway bio- show over the weekend.  Looking at the "V-A-M-P Vamp" YiouTubes (which I'm mainly finding the music sections for, without the sketches), it looks like they tended to include something really classy to turn into a Vamp bit many weeks. 

This has  a "Streetcar" section  at 1:15
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_sS8-S1A2o

where they rhymed "Blanche DuBois" and "Mardi Gras" years before The Simpsons take.  At the very end in the VAMP finale, Blanche sings "Tennessee Williams done ruined my life." 

The lyrics feel really well-crafted, though a bit risqué by 2018 PC standards.

And Sadie Thompson (in "Rain") seemed to be a regular in the Vamp segments.

this one has Cleopatra and Sadie Thompson.

The look on Cher's face during the Cleopatra section seems to say "I sang asp, why, what did you think I sang?"

The Do was very fun! Mark and I went to get the traditional peanut butter pie from House of Pies and found a very long line of people going out the door waiting for pies. We stood there for about 10 minutes before it dawned on me to go inside and ask if they even had peanut butter pie. There was only one year they didn't have it and that was the very first year we tried to get it. After that, I always called ahead and reserved it, but then two years ago they said they weren't reserving pies anymore, but rest assured they would have it. And they always did until last night. They said they were out. And considering we were already running late, we left. Now that I've joined the smart phone world with my iPhone 7, Mark told me to find the location of K's Donuts. We found K's Donut Emporium in Studio City and figured that had to be it. We went there and it was closed. We got to Bruce's and he told us we went to the wrong K's. I was glad someone else went and got the famous chocolate and peanut butter donuts. I tried a small piece of one and it was a amazing!

Good thing you didn't wait any longer for a pie they didn't have.  Though your great ideas for dessert failed at least there were plenty of treats to be had.
