tis the season
Dec. 14th, 2010 07:51 pmThe BG turned 3 last weekend, but RM & I both had the Cold From Hell, so she had to content herself with visits from Grandpapa and Grandmommy. (And she was pretty well content, I have to say.)
Sunday morning, RM went to Best Buy and got DVDs of the classic Christmas specials, and the rest of the day the adults napped on the couch (RM) and sipped tea (me) and blew our way through two boxes of tissue while the BG discovered "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "The Year Without a Santa Claus" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
(I hadn't watched any of them in years, and there were a lot of things I'd forgotten/never noticed. Is it me, or was Hermey the elf a covert gesture of support toward any GLBT kids who might be watching -- a mid-60s attempt at "it gets better"?)
In other news (for some definition of news that bears no relation to the definition in the dictionary), I am waiting for the new FSA year to buy new glasses, and in the meantime wearing a pair from four or five years ago. So I had to take RM's word for it that we passed a car on the GW Parkway with the license plate CASTIEL.
