Merry Christmas! Now what's next?

Hey y'all - so a quick video update about what's up with moi and my blogs before sleeping for Christmas Day. You might be wondering why I'm wearing a toque indoors. Actually, you probably don't even care, but let me tell you. When I was younger, I tried to open my window in the winter to get the snow off of it, not realizing that the window was locked. Broke the window mechanism - it'll open now only if I push it out a little first - but I've also noticed that as the years pass, my room is more and more affected by the elements outdoors - moreso than any other room in the house. I've probably cost my parents a fortune in energy bills. Oy.

Anyway, check the message and have a GREAT Christmas. More bloggage coming soon! Probably after I wake up. And eat breakfast. And open presents. And call my Grandma long-distance, since she's in Jamaica. Yes. This is how I roll.

Christmas by the Numbers

A very interesting layout regarding Xmas and Christmas (my own personal differentiation is Christmas = the Christian celebration of Christ, Xmas = the commercial celebration of gift giving). The historical context behind Christmas is news to me, but it's always good to have as much information as possible :)

This is also very helpful for my real vs. fake trees debate that I seem to have annually at this time of year. (Real trees FTW.)

Entry 0007: Disappearing Doomz

Okay everyone, I know I haven't been buying much lately, but things've just been busy, and the money hasn't been going where I'd like it to as of late. (Trust me, it's been leaving my account, but for all the wrong reasons.)

What I did buy yesterday, though, were a couple of toques from Lids, as well as a three-pack of kosher jam from some store in the Eaton Centre for a Kris Kringle gift - I hit up an Xmas party at Solstice last night for my part-time job. (Damn waiters who keep refilling the wine when I'm not looking!) Lots of preservatives and stuff in that store - I'll post the name when I remember it - I'll probably hit it up again before Christmas. Hotdamn.

And a shot of where I am most times, just to familiarize yourselves:

Man. 20 days left till Christmas and I've barely bought a thing. Shoot.
