Yule log, burn the house down with your telly

 One more time 2020, for those of you who go to bed at 9:00 pm- A Late Show.

Butter dish, I got up this morning to get usual crumpet, coffee and BUTTER! The lid of butter dish stuck tightly to the massive mountain of butter that Mr. Butter ball replenished last night. I bought Amish roll of butter for baking, it is unsalted and very creamy. It does not come in  orderly cubes- as you can see .

This is as Christmassy as it gets  this year, How many candles can I cram on a tiny table top? How many shiny balls can I squeeze into a vase?

How many lights can the schefflera hold without falling over?

 

same for the ficus and the lily- They will be glad when this is over.

Once again, for the lazy decorator,  the magic of Television offers two choices- this rather safe "modern" hearth, stockings hung with care, tidy and modest- sensible and clean.

Or this Raging yule fire that is likely to burn the house down . Blurry shot because HOT! I prefer this one of course,  it crackles and spits! YES! Praise Odin!Norse god of everything ,Viking  flaming YULE.

And so this is Christmas. haphazard, slapped together for no good reason at all.

Not feelin' it as  sometimes in some years  I have felt.

I did manage to get a partial gift off to Erik so that he would have something to open on 
Christmas morning, sad as it all is. I ordered too late so half is still in transit. Also too late to send to UK. Next year will be joyous, for sure, Everyone vaccinated, Biden calming the seas , Harris representing all that is good  Black, Indian, Women, law, intellect and wisdom. Yes, next year! Right around the corner, Stay well, do not do Christmas with anyone other than the one you're with.  People were really irresponsible during Thanksgiving- see what happens, dumb asses!

One last trumpian story, promise- We have a site "neighbors" where people post stray dogs or lost keys , that sort of neighborhood stuff. Our trumpian neighbors have been given the boot many times for posting trumpshit. So , now they are posting code. A bunch of letters- I googled them and it is a code for q-anon right wing extremism. I posted the copied definition under her post- she got the boot again. Then , in my email, the most right wing off the rails , extreme articles showed up, sometimes three at a time from different publications, Coincidence?  Well, that is cute and seventh grade but it backfired because I am highly entertained by them, bat shit crazy conspiracies and neener neener-ness , Also doesn't take much to unsubscribe. It is somewhat disconcerting to read how fired up the trumpians are to civil war their way back into the white house and beyond. Their lack of intellect will likely be their undoing, fingers crossed.
