What a great time that was for you, Timeblue . Reminds me of our 'hood. We had 'block' parties. Same idea as your happenings, without the fires. My life was all right there. Wonderful.

My son helped set up and decorate the Christmas tree with his teenage cousins at my mother-in-law's house on Friday, and today it's his turn to do the same at our house, with a little help from us. We had the Music Choice Christmas music channel playing in the background, and everything was going just fine, until he very emphatically proclaimed that the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song (which was playing then) is the "worst song ever, worse than anything by ELO, even. That song is just really bad!" I made him repeat it so I can remind him of it later!!

You decorate for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. Of course, I haven't decorated yet but that's because I generally just don't have my shit together.

We always put it up right after Thanksgiving! That's how we do things in 'Merica! You got a problem with that?

Tell you what else is happening earlier than expected - the Christmas ELO Challenge.
I know I said it would open in the second week of December...but to give everyone a bit more time to tackle the puzzles, I've decided to bring the launch date forward to Monday 4th. There, you see, a Monday you can all look forward to *grins fiendishly*

I'll be eternally grateful to Chippa for turning me on to this a couple of years ago. A little something to help you get into the holiday mood

Oh elophile !!! How could you? That is positively horrid!! No you didn't!!! "O Holy Night" is one of my favorite Christmas songs! How about this version instead? I'm a little biased since I love most of their stuff... Now, that's much better!!

I played it for my son, and he said that at least this one is funny. The Chipmunks not so much....
