I really did not want to do this, but my hand has been forced by time and annoyance factors.
About a year ago I ran across a very cool artist by the name of "cureineko" on FA: Link located here

| Title Music from "Toys" |
[24 Dec 2009|08:38pm] |
I have always wondered why this beautiful theme song from the 1992 movie "Toys" starring Robin Williams has not since been adopted and made part of the annual music playlist for the Holiday season.
"If I cannot bring you comfort, then at least I bring you home,
For nothing is more precious, then the time we have and sown.
We must all learn from small misfortune, count the blessings that are real,
Let the bells ring out for Christmas, at the closing of the year.
Now that the Winter bells are ringing, hear them echo through the snow,
And the children's voices singing on the streets so far below.
This is the time to be together, and the truth is somewhere here,
Within our love of people, at the closing of the year."

Okay, due to some severe abuse of my holiday mailing list address I have set all my entries to private. I currently don't have time to deal with this right now. I will figure out what I am going to do and will do a major overhaul of this journal after the holiday season.
I am severely disappointed in people. For whoever thinks it is funny to take advantage of someone and turn benign activities into malicious acts needs to sit down and think themselves over. If you are given an option to ruin someones holiday for the benefit of a laugh, don't.
For the rest of you, have a wonderful holiday!

For the record, my advent calendar came from Lidl again, and it had the same pictures as last year but in a different order. It really is amazing how much detail they get into the chocolates!
I watched The Snowman this afternoon. The whale sighting is always my favourite bit. :)
Mr Kipling does make exceedingly good mince pies. :9

And this year the dream comes true, at least on Christmas Eve at my parent's place:
Merry Christmas, everyone!

| "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" |
[24 Dec 2009|11:10am] |
This has always been one of my all-time favorite TV Christmas specials, certainly outshining all of those other "celebrity-laden" Sesame holiday specials that have been produced since then. "Eve" focussed on the neighborhood family relationships all of the streets residents had with one another.
I still have the U-matic videocassette copy that big_bird gave me when I bought my very first VCR (a SONY VO-1600 deck) used from him. The graphic tag logo at the very end of the show was for "Sesame Street's 10th Season" so looking back today from the shows 40th anniversary makes that look so distant now. It's also sad to note how many cast members who appeared in that Christmas Eve show have passed away since then, including most recently Alaina Reed who played Olivia, Gordon's sister and owner of Barkley the Dog. She passed away just a week ago today at only the age of 63.

I had a dream where I had a license and a car. The rest of it, apparently, was not interesting enough to remember. Point is, I guess I really, really need to get my license this winter break.
I think I want a VW bus and paint it like a long, wrap-around Super Mario Bros. level.
