I'll be Blitzen, the brown nosed reindeer. Just as fast as Rudolph, second in line, but can't stop as quick! Or you could use what the name picker came up with which makes me Lucky Twinkle Toes.

Re: What song is stuck in your head? « Result #8 Yesterday at 10:31pm »
Just dropping this off before I go to bed in hopes I won't be laying awake humming it all night - it's been stuck there all day.
I love, love, love this song; it's one of my favorites of the season. It would be a dream for me to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert - the strings, the screaming guitars, the lights, pyrotechnics, all of it I can imagine is phenomenal. Everyone I've know who has seen TSO has said they walked away breathless.
Here it is - The Carol of the Bells. (with a bit of Beethoven and Mozart in the beginning)

Me.....and.....no one. The "invisible" member this time really is invisible; there's nobody else here though it says there are two. ACK! Wouldn't this be more appropriate at Halloween time?

The Kid ~ Clint Black
Last night I dreamed I was a kid again All the things I used to do I went and did again Spent the afternoon with my best and closest friend Wanderin' through the days we thought would never end It was back when I'd still get things from Santa Claus Back when he believed in me and overlooked the flaws That can grow inside until it hides the Perfect little boy inside the man
I'm not a kid anymore, but I still believe That those miracles occur That's not something up his sleeve And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and The elves will make the toys Santa gives away to all the girls and boys

Re: This or That...Too « Result #15 Yesterday at 7:59pm »
Filled stockings! Mine aren't quite so fancy as TGs though. We hang stockings for us and the cats. The cats get new mice toys, etc. And catnip burlap bags. They adore those. I put a tangerine and an orange in ours, plus gum, pez, soft caramels, and if something uses batteries the extra battery will be wrapped and in the stocking, and maybe a small present or two. I've found that doling out diamonds seems to be popular choice for some reason and they're conveniently small enough to fit too. Open one, and only one, present Christmas Eve. Everything else waits for Christmas morning. My neighbors don't do that though. She ends up with a house full of kids and grandkids so they open all presents on Christmas Eve, then Christmas day they gather for a big meal. The idea is that the chef has the morning open for kitchen chores.
Written Thank You notes, or you gave them a present too and it's not necessary.

Sorry about that one, really. I'd like a snow storm, but not one in those proportions. I want the one where it snows at night and everything is closed the next day so you can go out and play in the snow, but that evening it turns warm so the next morning it's all melted again.

You know, that might be the one they used for target practice but the bullets kept bouncing off! That's where they got the idea for modern day body armor.

Re: What Food Is Stuck In Your Teeth? « Result #24 Yesterday at 6:33pm »
Yeah, I know, TG. That's why I said SEMI-healthy. Leave it to me to prefer the bastardized version!
I have a pot of homemade soup, bubbling away. I need to thaw my bones; it's been cold around here. But not like in Phalon Country. Mighty big snow storm up there, apparently. Bundle up those gams, Gams!
