Merry Christmas all and Bah Humbug.  I hope it is a warm and happy Xmas for all.

Love to mamselle.
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Of note, it's the bicentennial of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement C. Moore. He recited the poem to his family on this date.

Here's actor Jim Carter reading the poem:

Enjoy!

A couple of days ago, the hatchling was delighted with one of our ornaments. Like, really delighted. But I brushed against him and it shattered. He's still talking about it, though.


After hours of internetting, I think I know what it was: a blue-ish geometrical diamond, almost certainly the one in the middle there. Alas, they cannot be shipped, and no store within 200 miles has one. Sigh. Perhaps I can find one closer to a relative and send them on a mission...

Still, at least I know what it was, now.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Happy holidays to all, and a wonderful new year to come.

Para:  if you find the ornament for sale after Christmas but before you take your tree down, it might prolong the enjoyment for Hatchling? Christmas keeps on keeping on?

Yeah, there's no rush. Aside from my guilt!

Merry Christmas to all, wishing you good company, good food, and above all, good weather considering the circumstances.
