letters from bad santa

I recommend starting with the Evil Toys gallery and then moving on to the Letters collection.

In other news, I felt like a kid when I woke up this morning and saw snow on the ground outside.

Then I felt like an adult when I had to go brush off the car.

Still, it was enough to get me into the Christmas spirit, at least until the roads become worse. Too bad I won't actually have time to do any shopping -- or anything, really -- until next week. I've agreed to be the substitute pianist this weekend for the North Ridgeville Olde Towne Hall Theatre's kids' Christmas show. Tomorrow night is the Christmas concert for the CAC Singers, and is, sadly, our last concert directed by Trish, who has taken a job in Pittsburgh. (Both of these events are, as usual, listed on my birdwatching page.)

And yeah, I changed the blog template to the winter theme. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm cursing the snow -- somewhere around December 26th, I suspect -- but since this is an El Niño winter hopefully it won't be too bad. It's fun to see more houses on our street are putting up lights; seems like it was only us and a few others for the past few years.

I think we've finished off mom's first batch of candy cane cookies too.
