Does anyone else remember Annabelle's Wish, from 1996-97 or so? My aunt/godmother loves it and I got her the DVD and soundtrack last year. And really...it's not bad at all.

November's pay came through today so can make a start on buying presents for everyone on my list.
I was in California for work last Christmas and with work, the sunny weather and distance from family, I really felt like I didn't 'have' a Christmas last year. So this year I'm super looking forward to it!
Have a Cadbury advent calendar, have the Christmas FM app downloaded on my phone and a long list of Christmas movies and specials to revisit. Also after losing 60 lbs since May, I'm allowing myself to take my foot of the pedal a little and indulge in some favourite festive treats. Gonna be a nice month!

So what is everyone's X-mas day plans?
Looks like I am spending Xmas eve night at my lady's parents place. Doing Xmas morning and lunch with them. Then her and I are heading back to my place and gonna do a friends pot luck. We did this last year and it worked out great.
For years I would spend Xmas day with my mother's side of the family. Who can't get together without arguing and screaming every 5 minutes. So 2 years ago I got fed up with it and was having a bad day thanks to my bi polar. So it came down to either I leave or I was going to verbally assualt a cousin. One who has a history of abusing his girlfriends and who hasn't bothered to even find out where his son is for the past 5 years. He said something to the effect of "At least I am a good father unlike Double T." My brain was telling me to walk over and punch him. But I took the better approach and just walked out of the house. With my plan being to walk home,never mind that home was a 3 hour drive. Ended up at a baseball field 4 miles away. Called my lady and she managed to get me calmed. And I called my dad and got him to drive me to a cousins place.

So I was watching the newer Peanuts Christmas special that they air after A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's the skit where Linus wants to get a card for the girl who keeps changing her name. Found it funny that two of the names she used were...and these are named one after the other... Rebecca and Rachel.
/And I bet she was working hard at a New York job //Or she's just a girl in love...

Do you like Monster Mash? Great! There are numerous other songs which attempt to cash in on that success, like this one

Acquired all of my gifts for my folks, brother, and one of my cousins, who happens to be my gift exchange person. Still surprised my gift for him, a plaque with a piece of Prescott's jersey and his autograph, cost only $30.

This Christmas my parents and I are going to Texas to visit my older brother and his family. The last time that we were all together for Christmas was five years ago when my oldest nephew was ten months old.

Burned off an entire $143 in-store credit tonight, mostly on gifts.
Still have one dog to buy a blanket for (he chews on them).
And I don't know what to get my sister and her little ones in Minnesota (her husband and stepson? I'm not getting them a goddamned thing and for extremely good reason).

Took my dog to the pet store in town. Spent right at an hour taking each toy her size off the shelf and letting her sniff it. Which ever ones she tried to grab I got for her. Surprised she only picked out two items.

In Denmark they have a sitcom called Klovn , like many thing else Norway stole from Dk we have our own version called "Absolutely perfect" , anyway just saw the x-mas episode of said show : Thomas , the shows star , decides he wants to celebrate x-mas at a cabin with his close friends , he got the idea from George Michaels Last x-mas music video....that gave me a chuckle , lol In Europe they show this old b/w skit about a butler and the old lady he works for , anyway the butler gets more and more drunk thru the skit....my grandpa liked it , personally I find it overrated (also it's about NYE so why do they show it Dec 23rd in Norway lol ?) X-mas with The Joker on the other hand...I almost cry if I miss seeing it at x-mas

In Norway each x-mas people are arguing which x-mas soda tastes better : the red or brown ? I don't care what color it is , as long as it's tasty....hell , they might as well produce a green soda while they're at it , green as a x-mas tree...makes sense

In really good news....there's been all-Christmas radio stations since a week before Thanksgiving, and I still have yet to hear Christmas Shoes.

So I listened to Dinosaur Dracula's podcast about Christmas songs and found this was a thing:
Triple H uses this on the Xmas Raw or I riot.

Never heard Xmas shoes. But I haven't bother with listening to the radio since 96.
