Which is, incidentally, also my favorite Christmas* song. I listen to my Frank Sinatra version of it until Mr. CR wants to drown himself in eggnog.
I'll be taking a brief break from posting over the holidays, mainly because reading will take a bit of a backseat to a) holiday logistics and visits and b) holiday viewing. Typically around this time of year there are certain Christmas TV shows I must re-watch: The Vicar of Dibley Christmas Lunch Incident, the Northern Exposure raven pageant, and of course, Charlie Brown. All of that takes time. If I can squeeze in my annual reading of The Dark Is Rising, I will try, but either way, there just won't be much to post about.
*I've never understood the big fight about Christmas vs. Happy Holidays, etc. I don't mind when people say "Happy Holidays" either. The point is: enjoy the time of year and whatever it is you celebrate, even if it's just a return to calmer days and less consumerism in January.
Merry Holidays! (:

I love "Little Drummer Boy" especially sung by Bob Seger. Just can't get the Michigan out of me. Happy Holidays to you, your family all your readers!

Venta,
Now I've got to go look up the Bob Seger version of that song! It's one of my favorites.
Happy holidays to you too, dear.
Ruthiella:
Thank you! And a happy new year right back at you.

Merry Christmas, CR. I watched the Peanuts Christmas Special a few days ago, and it is good as ever. I know so many lines. "Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest!" is one of my favorites. Enjoy the holiday and save up lots of insights for more blog posts next year.

Rick,
My favorite is Lucy's: "I never get what I want." "What do you want?" "Real estate!"
Merry Christmas to you, too.

Did you hang a shining star upon the highest bough?

Bybee,
Well, I don't know about that, but the fates allowed and we were all together. All that I could ask.
Hope that you had a great holiday!
