Now I'm feeling more Christmas-y! Today at work we had our Christmas cookbook photo session and potluck lunch, and I wore a Christmas t-shirt (but forgot my pimp santa hat) and listened to "Fairytale of New York" and "Green Chri$tma$" for the first times this season! Remember, Tyn-E-Tim's roast hot... like a chestnut ought!

Here are some Christmas comic book covers from other countries:

We are back from Thanksgiving, and now it's time for Christmas! That's right, I get to set up the gift wrapping room this afternoon so Beth can wrap gifts to sent to PA. Also, I've been working on the Christmas Specials Wiki... there seem to be just three or four contributors, so come along and contribute what you know!

Wrapping up another holiday, I linked to bri_chan 's Halloween in Disney's California Adventure earlier, so now here's the links to her Halloween in Walt Disney World (in two parts): Part 1 Part 2

Look at this picture I found of my hometown, Glendo Wyoming! Yep, it's been a while since the Trail Hotel was open... someone bought it a few years ago and put up new siding, but that's as far as they got...
