Random Thoughts. The Return.

Just spent my lunch hour having to listen to some guy play the Billy Idol Christmas album. It is awful dreck.

It made me thankful that Led Zeppelin never bothered to do a Christmas album. Although one is curious as to what that would have sounded like? It would have given John Paul Jones a chance to break out the church organ and be a choirmaster like he wanted to after the 1973 tour.

In November, 1943 this Tarawa/Betio beach was covered with Marine dead. Totally disgusting, but I think there is an effort to clean it up. Paradise lost.

White Wedding Christmas? 

I love the church organ.

These would make great cards as well. Nothing to see here folks.

Nope, nothing to see and don't forget the upcoming recession, should be a doozy.  Don't worry though, those laid off can get a job making solar panels or learn how to code.

Anyone here super-organized and already got their Christmas cards and packages mailed, and Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree?

Or are you flailing around at the last-minute like me?

No flailing here. Just sending out some cards.

No tree this year, got a big crazy puppy with a whappy tail. But everything else done, everyone is getting country store preserves. Just need to secure a frenched pork rib roast for Christmas dinner.

Billy Idol anything -- no, thanks. 

I loathe Christmas songs, regardless of performer. "Have a holly, jolly Christmas..." Oh, get bent.

Only received one card this year so far. Not sending many out as a stamp is now 60 cents.

My wife sent out over 100, she still works from our wedding list that was over 30 years ago. We seem to have gotten a lot back that have kids' pictures who we never heard of or will ever meet.

Going to the shops today to try to figure out what to get the cheese and kisses. The woman is impossible to buy for! I do have various gifts - all of which she picked out. I want to get her at least a token little surprise.

I get mine anything flannel and pretty -  nightgowns or bed sheets, and I'm golden.
