Am not! There's no need to get nasty on Christmas Eve.

Gold is too flashy

Is it just me, or does it seem that Elves get (believe it or not) even more arrogant during the holidays?

Must be because they have relations in the North Pole.

Merry Christmas, all!

I had to brave the insanity to go to the grocery store for a perscription for my dad. Actually if anyone has some spare prayers.... he's had shingles for the past two weeks and is now completely deaf in one ear. The damage may be permanent but we don't know yet.

Other than that we're all ready for Christmas. Still no snow. I stayed up a little too late last night reading Otherland, and with all the hecticness, I've had trouble getting on today. We are having an early dinner and then watching "A Christmas Story" before leaving for Christmas Eve service, so I'll be around for a little while and then gone.

Merry Christmas, Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, Gondorians, Ents, and anything else!
