Where Else but in Los Angeles?

Santa in G-String Arrested on DUI Charge
In the Christmas oddities department, from La-La-Land:
A man in a Santa hat was arrested Sunday night for investigation of drunken driving after he was spotted outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood wearing a wig, a red lace camisole and a purple G-string, police said.
And, in a stunning example of [...]

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light

Dueling Wreaths

Every year since Buddy died, we’ve had a Christmas wreath. The first one was a gift to us. After that, we’ve bought one, and have expanded the coverage to Nancy’s side of the family; her siblings, mother, et.al. Our daughter also gets one.

The floor joists in the laundry room are open, and these bozos gently nailed one of those metal bar dealios between the joists, [...]

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, [...]

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!

The copyright date on “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is 1965. By my math, that’s 40 years. I don’t think I’ve missed many showings, and just finished watching yet another showing.
One of the coolest things about Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters was that their hands were drawn with 4 fingers and a thumb, instead of [...]

Season’s Rumbles

And so it begins. Nothing says “Peace on Earth” like a good old-fashioned rumble at the local Wal-Mart.
Me, I’m letting the old touchtone phone and the internet do all the work. Just tune in to these guys. Avail yourself of the bill-to, ship-to option; no muss, no fuss. Let the clicking [...]

First Signs of Christmas, spotted at Target

No, it wasn’t the aisle after aisle of fake trees, lights, and ornaments. Not the phony wreaths. And, nope, not even the usual assortment of peppermint and chocolate candies.1
Our local Target has a security guard checking receipts as you exit the place. Nothing says “Peace on Earth” like that.
