All I want

Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
(sing along!)

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you "Merry Christmas!"

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I wish, I wish

I wonder where Mom hid the presents...

Not a creature was stirring

One thing we love about Winter weather is that we get to build a fire. It's so peaceful and relaxing to sit in front of the flames, sipping on hot chocolate. Or just snoozing.

Abe and Frodo enjoying the warmth of the hearth. Funny, usually it's the cat on the dog bed and the dog laying mournfully nearby. Wimp.

My Husband Looks Like Andrea Bochelli

My husband looks like Andrea Bochelli. They are both Italian. He's got the same wavy, salt and pepper hair, the same scruffy beard, the same suit -wait - not the suit. I've only seen my husband in a suit once: at our wedding. And maybe his grandmother's funeral. Then there's the small issue that DH can't sing. But he can see. So there are subtle differences, but the resemblance is a bit uncanny, don't you think?
