Christmas
Decorated tree. With presents.
The bookends on the TV, just by the way, are our pair of Mythopoeic Fantasy Award lions: Peter for THE ROPEMAKER and me for SUNSHINE. They asked, when I won the second in this household, which direction I wanted the lion’s head to be in? Did we want them as (say) bookends, or did we want to start a conga line?
Decorated hellhounds. With tree and presents.
Decorated hellgoddess with the top of her head cut off again by her photography-challenged husband. In my copious free time I must learn how to do delay firing so I can cut the top of my own head off.* And I hope those trousers look red on your monitor.
There seem to be about a dozen new books in this family. I am very fully full of turkey, Christmas pudding and champagne, and I’m going to go lie on the sofa and read two or three new books. Or four or five. There are a couple of Peter’s I thought about keeping, not that book ownership is a very absolute custom around here.** Happy Christmas. See you tomorrow.

* Does anyone know how to get rid of mirror-reflecto-eyes? The only eye correction that seems to get any press is red-eye and I don’t think modern cameras do red-eye any more. But this Little Orphan Annie eye thing is no better. It’s true Chaos is not long on intellect but his skull isn’t hollow nor lit up by floodlights. I can’t even find anything on the web about it, except generic come-ons for photo software.
** At least not very often. Touch my signed LOTR without permission and you die.
