Here's a couple of pictures
from my friend, Chuck Bobo. One is funny and the other
is just plain cute to use in web pages -- well, maybe
both of them are.
How
well do you know Christmas?
Take this quiz and find out (thanks to Craig M.
for this link). You can also see how you rank among
other quiz-takers. I grew up with a wonderful mother who
was almost fanatical about celebrating Christmas. It was
an amazing time of year for my brothers, sisters and me.
I will always be glad for Santa Claus, lights, music and
the fun things that go with Christmas.
In fact, when people ask me what my favorite kind of
music is, I usually answer, "Christmas music!" (Needless
to say, I made a perfect score on this test -- it helped
that my sister lived in Chile for over a year.)
This
maze game is sooo cute and easy to play (at
first). Just place your cursor over the button and a
maze lights up. Move the cursor through the maze to
guide the mouse home (no need to hold down a button).
Don't touch the sides of the maze. It starts out very
easy, then gradually gets harder -- another addictive
game!
I prefer to use the phrase,
Merry Christmas, and I hate to see use of this die out.
On the other hand, I am not going to get raving mad
enough to boycott someone who prefers to use Happy
Holidays or Season's Greetings.
I am happy for places that still say
Merry Christmas because that is my belief, but I don't
think President Bush sending out a Happy Holidays card
should be criticized so much.
For most of us around
here, Jesus is the "Reason for the Season." I think
nobody should be offended if anyone chooses to say Merry
Christmas, either. On the other hand, I was so happy to
hear that Target changed its mind on using only Season's
Greetings and went back to Merry Christmas. Can't we all
figure out ways to get along?
We
saw this movie on opening day (today). As we came in, we
saw several school buses taking children home from an
early showing. I wish going to the movies was considered
a good field trip when I was in school!
We got in line to buy tickets and guess who was just in
front of us -- our son-in-law! We were pleasantly
shocked and laughed over it all. (His wife, my daughter,
was at work, so he was alone.) We sat together and all
enjoyed the movie.
Was it a good movie? Yes, although I enjoyed it more
than my husband who looked at his watch a few times (he
didn't look at it ONCE in Aeon Flux). This movie is
getting great reviews -- top-quality Academy-award
winning acting here, excellent plot and fantastic
special effects. I loved the evil White Witch. She was
one tough lady and fun to hate. My husband thought
events moved along kind of slowly, but he had never read
the books (I read them twice). I recommend this --
children will like it too, I think.
This
is GREAT if you own iTunes.
This site will create a signature of your most

My Music Signature. Maybe you can recognize a
song or two. Some of the songs came from GarageBand.com.
