Gearing up

It's getting closer and closer to December 25th, and as that happens everyone starts listening to more christmas music, watching christmas movies,a nd generally having a good time. Today we will be making lots of sweets, and eating the ones we have made. yum yum!

well here's a song.

Why we have no Christmas Tree

One would walk into our house and ask us one question:
"Where's the tree?"

This is because we don't really do the Christmas tree. a while back we decided to put the focus more around what Christmas was about, which was Christ's birth, so that he would die for our Salvation. This is why about a decade ago the entire family got together and voted, on whether or not we were going to put our presents around a tree, or a Nativity.

it was unanimous, Nativity won. We had always enjoyed decorating a tree, but everyone liked the nativity idea more, so that year we went out and bought a really nice Nativity, and for once we did not put up a tree.

This worked out quite nicely actually. the Nativity did not take up as much space, so our living room did not feel crowded. (Which happens if you have a small living room) We also had fewer quarrels over setting up a nativity than putting the "good" ornaments on the tree, and most of all, it really DID put more focus on Christ, and not a tree.

We held this vote every year for about five years, when that last year, my parents decided it was set in stone: Five years of unanimously voting for the nativity was getting kind of old, so now it's one of our big Christmas traditions.

Now though, we did not have a huge display, so we went to work putting decorations elsewhere, and it payed off, instead of having one big pretty display, we made the entire house look nice, and fewer people fought STILL because everyone has their own project.

this si one of our traditions, and we love it, what are some of your unique Christmas traditions?

Ok right, need to post.

Hello my name is

We inturupt this bulliten to show you one of our fabulous...

I've been feeling a little weird lately, like my entire universe is going by in a blur, almost like my world has been scrambled and rearranged in a random order.

If you buy three bottles of our Houdini Hair Spray, we will send you six more at absolutely no extra charge.

anyway, I have been feeling oddly like random clips of my life are just fluttering by, I find myself with a girlfriend, I've written a book, a little brother is misbehaving, or is that me? I'll sort out the details later.

Call today!

I also have this weird though that someone is going behind my back and inserting ads into my posts. If you see any of that please report it immediately. As for those who want to know, my book is going OK, but I've failed NaNoWriMo. Oh well, I still plan to publish the book.

Me and Kinderline both have been listening to a lot of Reliant K, if you have any particular Reliant K songs you like, please share them with me. Thank you.

Anyway, I shall now go and conquer the world, or word, I don't really care anymore.

Operators are standing by. 

Feeling a bit tired.

It's been on of those weeks. We rented How to train your dragon on Monday, the same night that my dad's team lost their star QB. All in all that didn't go well. Buddy was nuts because of the "Dragon wizards" and stayed up half the night. This exhausted Katie, and so she was a crank yesterday. I can't really blame her though, she just didn't get enough sleep.

I've started Reading THE END. That being the last book in a series of Unfortunate Events. I might give my opinion when I'm done, or I might just be lazy and not give you anything.
I have done just about everything I can with this blog. Everything else that must be done can only be done by Kindy (Comment and tell her to hurry up! ;-) )
I'm listening to a lot of Weird Al lately. Just cuz.

We watched Despicable Me last night for $.50 a piece. that came out to be $3.50 for the whole crew to go see a movie together. I enjoyed it a whole lot, and it was incredibly cute. The minions were actually not just slapsticky, but also sweet in their own weird way. I love Edith, and she was my favorite girl.
I want my own Boogie Bots.

So I must get going, and get to work. And while I deal with the artificial tornado in the dining room, I suggest you go enjoy your peace.

Boredom

I'm right now listening to some Christmas music while writing a post. I just got out of the shower, and my brothers are playing video games. All in all everything is quiet and dull, so if you are planning on coming down here for a day of excitement and thrill, don't.

To add to the dull tone this day has cast, outside is grey, but not rainy, and my Momma and Katie are both out garage saleing. I injured my ankle the day before yesterday, and it was grinding all day yesterday, but today it is quite a bit better. (To those who have been reading my blog for the past year, but still haven't gotten a clue, I'm accident prone.)
I'm gonna do some house tidying later, Cleaning the bookshelves and under the sink are among my tasks. If I can get the boys to help me organize our bedroom today as well that would be delightful. If that were all not enough I still need to churn out about 2,500 words today. fun fun fun!

For those who have been keeping up with the Nithcur Prophesy, I am back to writing it, and I am at about 17,500 words. I want to reach 20,000 before Kindy gets back, but that goal is looking harder and harder to hit.

That reminds me, Tomorrow is Sunday, so Kindy will be back, YAY! I have so missed her chatting everyday. I have to get some photos of myself today, cuz she's been demanding more from me. I may take the sibs for a walk later and arm Katie with the camera, that is if the lighting ever gets better.

That's all for now. I am still bored, but now I have dumped some of it on you helpless pathetic readers MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
er I mean, thanks for reading.
