My rainy day craft box

From what I'm seeing on LJ it sounds like everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and for that I am, well, thankful! Of course, the notable exception is megiloth who starved to death and was forced to eat his own feet in the process. *sigh* He will be missed. Anyway, I played Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel on the PS2 all morning, napped for a few hours, then ate the monstrous bounty my mother hath prepared. Unsuccessfully went back to bed, got up, played more FMAatBA, then went over to A&A's, whom I technically should be referring to as kakita_shisumo and duendegrrl since they have LJ's now, for a second feast, a viewing of White Christmas (not to be confused with White! Hot! Christmas - that's something else,) and a game of Munchkin, which I'm not allowed to talk about because Mel is unhappy that she missed it. Did you know chasing hot vanilla with hot cider makes your stomach feel about to burst? It does, but in a good way.

So as this day in which we combine the heavenly virtues of charity, family, and humility with the deadly sin of gluttony draws to a close, let us all remember that it's not just an American holiday, it's a state of mind for the whole world. And, like its more popular, better looking, overachieving older brother Christmas, it should not be observed one day, but the whole year around.

And, as Tiny Tim observed, "God bless us, every one."

I keep thinking of all the things I need to do tomorrow, then I remember that it's going to be Black Friday and people are going to be insane and it makes me want to put it off until Saturday, not that I think that will be any better. I think next year I will do all my Christmas shopping a month in advance. And by Christmas shopping I mean groceries, gas, etc. Gifts can always wait till the last minute :)
