Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah we're walking in a winter
Yeah we're walking in a winter
We're walking in a winter wonderland
Wonderland
Winter wonderland

And speaking of the big Claus - the boy should like what he's getting. When he saw Santa in the mall, he asked specifically for a Leonardo toy. Amazingly enough, my wife had already picked up a giant, stuffed, Leonardo - I think it's supposed to be a pillow. Meanwhile, Santa also got him the Turtle's Shellraiser, while Mommy and Daddy got him the four Turtle action figures. He's getting some other figures from other folks, so I'm psyching myself up for the inevitable ninja wars.
Have I mentioned how much of a proponent of gift bags I am? F+%+ that wrapping paper s**!. Way to inefficient.
My boss hates bags with a burning passion of a thousand suns. When we do our xmas party every year, he pretty strongly critiques everyone's wrapping ability, and there's nothing he has disdain for more than bagged gifts. "Lazy and ugly" tend to be common terms he throws around.
Doesn't stop people from doing it, so we all get some good laughs out of his disgusted reactions every year.
I like gift bags because they're quick and efficient. The less time I have to spend trying to accomplish something that takes 5 seconds to undo, the more time I have to spend on more important things.
but.....but......
tearing and shredding the paper to pieces by the kids is part of the fun, isn't it ?|

True, which is why I typically suck it up and wrap most of their presents. Except the ones from Santa. Those get put together and set out.

Today I shall season my smoker, which they recommend prior to cooking with it for the first time. A request has been made of me to smoke something for New Year's Day. I shall do chicken - either quarters or single pieces. It will be all or mostly dark meat, since (apparently) my sister-in-law's family (who will be in attendance) does not eat white meat.
MMM smoked deer jerky....nomnom
Only took me 42 years to figure that one out.
Wow, you're OLD!

How odd.
They don't make shows like this any more. Sad. The last two stop motion animation successes I can think of were Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
Stop motion is, and unfortunately always has been, a dead end technology.

But an awesome one! All hail the great Ray Harryhausen!!!
Incidently, Freehold, if you had Facebook, you could be jealous of my baby girl's new fleece blanket.
Well, I don't have Facebook! And yes, I am still jealous.
What's your purpose?

What's your purpose?
Depends.
Are you asking Freehold, since his post preceded your query? If so, I cannot speak with certainty, but may surmise that his purpose is to attend as many New York City conventions as possible, while contemplating the utter destruction of Facebook, Joss Whedon, and Alton Brown (not necessarily in that order).
Are you asking me? If that's the case, my purpose in life is to raise my kids to be responsible adults, while brewing/drinking beer/mead, eating bacon (and other, not as awesome foods), spreading joy to my fellow man, and battling the forces of evil.

Last night, I drank a bottle of Abita's Bourbon Street Imperial Stout. It's aged in barrels used to produce small batches of Bourbon Whiskey. It had a really nice, bourbon flavor to it.
I was telling one of my co-workers about it, and he expressed interest in trying some. So I'll likely bring him a bottle tomorrow.
Don't do it.
.....
Fire!
