Storage Room: Another Ruined Christmas Party

Ah, the week before Christmas. The last Advent Candle is lit, all the presents are stuffed in the closet and wrapped, and all your friends are inviting you to Christmas parties!

Merry Christmas, tout le monde!!

Christmas and Such

Yeah, today is normally the day where I would post the 55 Songs from Musicals dealio, but it's Christmas week, so I wanted to take a break from our normal programming and wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance. Just in case I don't have time on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. :)

Unto us a Child is born

Unto us a Son is given

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

And His name shall be called

Wonderful Councilor

All mighty God

The Ever-Lasting Father

The Prince of Peace

Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad! Joyeux Noel! メリークリスマス

Whatever language you speak, I hope you have a truly joyous Christmas! God Bless!

 

Advent is Upon Us...

We've got the Advent Wreath up, the weather is getting quite cold, and hallmark channel is playing endless marathons of [insane eyetwitch]... interesting Christmas movies.
All this can only mean one thing. Christmas is coming!
This time of year really is special, because I live on the West Coast, where Spring, Summer and Autumn are all pretty much the same thing, but Winter at least brings the promise of frost and lower temperatures. XD
I can't wait until Christmas week, that's when we get to bake Lebkuchen! Which for those of you who don't know, is a German cookie. It's like gingerbread, but it's got candied fruit inside, and sometimes has nuts. We don't usually do it with nuts though, because there are certain people in our family who would rather die than ingest a single one of the vile things.
Ahem.

 Here seen is our (artificial *sob*) tree, being decorated by my sister. She really went nuts with the ornaments. XD

 

And here's the Advent Wreath, along with a really pretty little Advent Calendar we got. Each day you open up a door, and there's a bible verse inside. Neat, yeah? Oh, and you can also see, in the corner, a cookie jar shaped like a bear chef. Oh woe is me for getting him in the shot. XD

Well, I hope you're having a good December, mates!
