only 2 more to do, as she opens the flue...
wow. only 2 days left. i think i'm feeling a bit more christmasy this morning. and its got nothing to do with the weather. (new forcasts show its going to be 79 & 76 respectively on eve & day.....yet on the 26th it will be 66 and dropping......::SIGH::)
last night we had originally intended to go to the DWP lights display over at griffith park (put on in conjunction with the city of LA & the DWP). its really cute, for those of you who don't live here. its a drive-thru lights display. and its all different things that are southern california. they pipe in music too, so its cute. line is long as hell to get in, but its worth it. sometimes.....
but we didn't go there.
i've been a scrooge. i'll admit it. i'm so ready to chuck this whole holiday into the shitcan. well, until last night. we took the kids to hastings ranch. its the perfect example of people who come together, just for the spirit of the holiday.
there are about 40 blocks. ALL DECORATED. and they love to do it. its tradition. its an honor. the community just comes together to spread some holiday cheer to their neighbors. it was lovely. and to see the kids crowded around the Labbe's house (complete with santa's sleigh, large scale toy train & SNOW!! :) ) and to see jake get all happy, was all worth it.
Merry Christmas Everyone! :)
today's submission is compliments of my main squeeze.....he's got a weird sense of music, but he's cute....so it all makes up for it.
Winter Wassail
by Faith and the Muse
Wassail Wassail; All merit good cheer
We wish thee dear faithful a wondrous New Year
Our fine bowl is made of the white maple tree
With the Wassailing bowl we honor thee
So here by the fire good spirits renewed
We wish thee dear faithful: thy dreams may come true
As white snow doth fall o'er the old willow tree
Wassail Wassail; We honor thee
So come all young maidens and join us in song
For this is the season warm love need hold strong
The cold wind doth blow o'er the elderwood tree
Wassail Wassail; We honor thee
