Crimbo Mush

Played Vampire last night, and it sparked me up, chasing me out of a somewhat blah mood. AE’s world, these characters, the storytelling, it’s sometimes very dark, sometimes very funny, and hits the spot every time!

Today good things happened. The guttering got sorted, and our yule tree is up, though it’s a bit minimalist for my liking. The decorations are all shades of white and gold, and it’s colour co-ordinated to the point of arboreal anaemia. Less elegance, more things I say! More Christmas stockings and reindeer, stars and presents and angels and owls and ent-faces and fairies and violins and boots and robins and holly and harlequins and toy soldiers and above all, lots and lots of shiny stuff! The best thing about the tree is the fleet of white UFOs currently docked among its branches, cloaked as outsize floral lights. I’m not so easily fooled, and look forward to Christmas morning when the mothership will arrive driven by Santa. I love this time of year!

Now I am about to go a bit Bonnie Tyler (I’m so sorry, but I’m still going to do it) to such an extent I think I may have to lock this post. Certainly the LJ cut will make its appearance yet again.

Yes, I am feeling inspired a la mush tonight. No, I am not even remotely drunk/herbally half-witted!
