it was a silly weekend, lots of movies. Animaniacs came out on video, vol. 2. We watched some other fancy schmancy movie or other, what was it? I don't even remember. Oh. Da Vinci Code. I don't remember it because i was curled up asleep for almost the whole weekend, i'm in a flare again. I fell asleep friday night, got up saturday, went back to sleep, woke up long enough to go movie shopping and then fell asleep again. Woke up, went to bed, slept again. Woke up, got up, sunday morning- fell asleep on the couch. Woke up at one. Went for a walk and then soaked in a bath to soothe the aches, man i hate flares. Then guess what? I fell asleep again.

So i've caught up on about 32 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours. Kinda weird, but i can't wait to go rest again. I don't even know why i'm in a flare but don't have anything to take for it any more since the last one was a liver-killer.

Hmph. It's a monday all right.

Today's exercise? Paste the full lyrics to your favourite kid-safe holiday carol. I know there will be a high percentage of jingle bells, slashdot smells, but those of your with actual favourites, post them here. I'm interested. I may even post a few (real ones) myself.

    • I don't know what you were writing, but I was reading it out loud, and think I might've muffed the pronsciation on it, because suddenly I've been warped to some alternate universe where everything's decorated in gawdy red and green and gold colors and people keep greeting me with stuff like "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas", and "Chaka-Khan"!

    Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,

  • I hate bad pastes, but Solemn said to paste so here it is, the Hanakkah song!

    Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
    Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,

    Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
    Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

    When you feel like the only kid in town without a x-mas tree, heres a list of
    People who are jewish, just like you and me:

    David lee roth lights the menorrah,

  • I like "Go tell it on the Mountain" but that's just a personal preference for a Christmas hymn (part Gospel, part Pop). For actual Christmas music I like the Charlie Brown's Christmas and this disc my dad has of some English boy's choir interspersed with the usual priest-lead retelling of the Christmas story.

    This weekend Andy in Alabama was in town and we saw three movies in the theater which disappointed and four at home which rocked. The movies out: Unknown (which is about six guys waking up with amnes

  • It has to be Silent Night.

    A specific memory from one of our choir concerts, where there were a couple of hundred people in the audience. Our director has a section in our Christmas concerts where we do a carol sing with the audience. We sang the first verse of Silent Night with words and then hummed a verse. It was magical, and there were several seconds of silence after the last note faded away before the audience erupted in applause.

  • Now that all the snow is fallin
    It's crunching below my feet
    And all the Christmas lights are shining
    On houses up and down my street
    And I can see the happy families inside
    If only for a moment

    It's Christmas time

    I think I see the children down the street
    Here they come caroling
    Now you can hear them
    They're saying
    OH Yeah

    Mister Johnson bought a Christmas tree
    He set it up with his family
    They're opening their presents big and small
    Mister Johnson got a big brown bowling ball
    Sally got a pair of brand new skates
    And Jimm
