The TL kid is with friends watching the Bronco game. He'll be back soon, we've got fresh tamales and homemade chicken enchilladas and green chile for dinner, with margaritas to accompany them.

The fireplace is turned on, it just started snowing heavily (again) and I'm glad to be warm and safe in my humble abode.

Best wishes to all of you for a happy holiday and let's hope next year at this time, our soldiers will be home from Iraq.

    Hope the gods and the non-gods help get the kids back from Iraq; enough with the slaughter.

    is that 2007 will be a profoundly better year than the past six have been... the best present i can imagine, s gift beyond price, would be the resignation of george w. bush, dick cheney, and the entire cabinet... that has been at the very top of my wish list since katrina... to paraphrase my fair lady, wouldn't it be lover-ly...?

    the very best of holidays to you and your crew... thanks for all the good work...

    And, yes, I DO take it personally

    "I hate Bush" boxers off for 4 seconds and say Happy Holidays?  Has politics so infected your brain that you cant show a shred of dignity?  You can argue that Bush lost the war, but an easier argument could made that he defeated your underdeveloped psyche.

    I can understand why you chose your monicer. If you really believed what you preach you would have let it go. Profmarcus made a wish, a wish for peace, something not possible without new leadership. The basic philosophy of the chimp and his minions is to maintain control through eternal war and fearmongering.

    Your response, on the other hand was full of venom.

    Holiday spirit?...... not even close.

    The Fireplace is turned on? (none / 0) (#4)
    by RF on Sun Dec 24, 2006 at 09:26:00 PM EST
    I had to open the damper, and put wood in mine-

    Usually the Jotul woodstove does heating with combo wood/warjuice furnace but it has been Al Gore mild here in sunny Upper Valley NH/VT

    Balmy 32ºF outside right now, and dry New England apple wood, and ironwood in the fireplace, yeah baby, it is turned on all right-

    Merry Christmas to you who "Turn On" their fireplaces...

    Heh Heh,  that gives a huge chuckle, thanx for the site content, mucho appreciated-

    I'm in Burlington (but small world - spent my kid/teen years in Orford, NH).

    Heading off to a greenish Stowe later today for Christmas dinner with friends. I'll get a chance to phone my family and friends who are spread about here and abroad.

    Happy Christmas to all. May your days be indeed merry and bright.

    Cutting down a Christmas Tree in Vermont: National Public Radio (US) has this good story on how one Vermonter harvested his family's Christmas tree this year.

    Jeralyn,

    I've never dropped a note to you personally, but now take the opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your blog, your "reality based" opinions and the rest of your generousity in helping care for our freedoms.

    Wishing you, your son and all your contributing friends a wonderful Christmas, and for all of us a light at the end of this Bush tunnel we've been existing in, brightening throughout the coming year.

    I will remain amazed at the energy you demonsrate in maintaining a stellar reputation in the field of Law, while also keeping the blog rolling as you do.

    Thank you, Jeralyn.

    with great respect,
    alapip

    Hope everyone gets to have some time off to spend with family, freinds and loved ones.

    Jesus may be the reason for the season but all should take time to enjoy this time of year when we should all take time to say thanks and look forward to another year living in this great country.

    Happy Holidays and God bless us, every one!

    I still love Christmas morning, and I'm super-blessed that I still get to come home for the holidays.

    We don't have much of a tradition of giving "surprise" gifts in my family; everyone pretty much knows what they're getting because they get exactly what they asked for. But I did get a few surprises to give away this year: books and candy and DVDs and such.

    And I guess it's time to go do that right now! Merry Christmas to all. I hope each of you got some Christmas surprises too!
