The fat man let me down.
But it was not entirely unexpected. I knew it was a long shot. I'm sure he had more pressing matters to deal with.
And plus I wasn't really all that good this year anyway. And have had a distinct lack of holiday spirit. Indeed, I may have been heard to utter Bah, Humbug! At times when I could overcome my absolute indifference.
Marcel wasn't so in the mood this year either, even though he generally likes a party. Mostly he was just glad that I didn't try to make him wear antlers this time around. Its happened! Its never worked out well!
But in spite of it all, I did get a really nice set of jammies with snow-globes on them (Ooh, so cute!! I love them. Thanks again Beez and Lorie!) and money for a bike basket from the Mums. Not to mention some rather lovely, somewhat gothic looking Christmassy flowers, arranged artfully along with sprigs of eucalyptus, from a certain koala-ish character.
Oh there was other good stuff too! A hat from the Mums with little Marcel-looking dawg heads on knitted antennae (for lack of a better word! See? See how I need a camera!?) But alas and alack! No camera! Thus a word-filled but somewhat visually lacking Knit-A-Log, for the forseeable future. Sigh.
And we are visual critters, aren't we? I tend to gravitate to the blogs with the nice pitchers.
Well, here is what else I would show you, if I could. A pair of lovely handmade socks from Mindy, in cooler shades ranging from royal blue to purple to sea green to a creamy white, and which I am keeping pristine, though I am dying to put them on, in order that I might get a picture of them in their unspoiled splendor! And plus the other wonderfulness, which arrived just before Christmas, along with the socks, in particular, the button of a skull with crossed knitting needles, which I've been wearing with pride on my messenger bag. Its awesome! Thanks again, Mindy!!
My brane feels all fuzzed and furred, for the most part.
Haaarroooo! Is anybody out there??? Send a friendly word!!!

Hey pip. Hope your Christmas hasn't been TOO humbuggy...I'm sure Marcel is keeping you busy in the temperate weather. Happy new year and hoping we run into you for coffee again soon!

The fat man is so fussy. He'll pass over your house just because you don't believe in him. What's up with that. Fortunately we have plenty of credulous children in our house to keep him coming by.
Merry New Year!

Waffles!
What is more friendly than "waffles"? Nothing, I tell you.
