Merry Christmas, you guys.
I'm told we'll be spending part of tomorrow seeing Big Hero 6.

You will enjoy that, ali. While it is its own movie, it reminded me of The Iron Giant in some ways.
Dam-et and I are going to see the final Hobbit movie this evening. He wanted to do that as a just-the-two-of-us thing...so I will get to see it again with Dam-sel and Menolly once he goes back to uni.

A happy and peaceful Christmas to you all. I'm just listening to John Hurt on the radio narrating a programme about the Christmas truce in 1914. Very moving.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

I must confess my family was at home being silly!wayfriend wrote:I wish a warm, happy, and peaceful Christmas to
everyone at the Watch. (And if you're just spending it going to the movies
while all the Christians are at home being silly: still, have a nice day
on me!)
There may have been some introducing my children to the freeware game
"Lemmings" and Warcraft 1 and some Nerd darts but nothing too silly.
Well that is to say, I heard some things I'm sure I didn't fully understand about:
a virgin birth,
and God living and dying as a human,
and a really really bad judgement some people are hoping to escape because of this all...
...But really that was all I heard, I swear Mr. Frodo!
Umm, after that outburst, am I allowed to ask how your day was, Way?

After spending a week celebrating a day's worth of oil burning for eight days...as well as acknowledging the rebirth of the sun, I certainly salute those who commemorate a Messiah's birth.
Seuss had it right: "Chr-stmas day is in our grasp, as long as we have hands to clasp..."
Back in RL, Dam-sel, Menolly, and I are going to see Straight No Chaser tonight.

Hope the concert was awesome, SD! You were right -- I did enjoy "Big Hero 6". Might have even gotten something in my eye once or twice...

So far so good, but...wayfriend wrote:Then I won't need to turn you into anything ... unnatural ...
ummm, I'm a little concerned for when I find out what my punishment will be.
You say that worshipping Jesus as the Messiah is something you're okay with me doing... but, but... okay............. sorry dude; I can't go on here.SD wrote:After spending a week celebrating a day's worth of oil burning for eight days...as well as acknowledging the rebirth of the sun, I certainly salute those who commemorate a Messiah's birth.
I'm taking this to THE CLOSE.
Avert your eyes, aliantha. please.
Speaking of worshipping God, I think heard something about loving ones neighbor once...
And I think it is super-awesome that your son wanted to go see "The Hobbit" as a father-son bonding time, and felt like he could express himself about that.
WTG, dad-dude!
I'm not sure that he did, but a Seuss quote without a context... I should really go look it up, and try to figure out what Ol' Mr. Giesel meant.... (he's a cagey character!!)Save Or D___ wrote:Seuss had it right: "Chr-stmas day is in our grasp, as long as we have hands to clasp..."
Otoh, high-five for busting out a Dr. Seuss quote - I love Dr. Seuss!

Linna,
The quote is from the song the Who community sings in How The Grinch Stole Chr-stmas.
