Stemming the tide of vulgarity in the general public.

OMG! It's Christmas Already!

Darlings, you must be terribly disappointed in me: I've been silent as the tomb the last month or so - just a somewhat bitchy post about Thanksgiving and then just a blurb about that beautiful new lamp.

Well, that's how it happens sometimes. I sometimes feel like I've conquered the new frontier of Gracious Living, and have not that much to say. But who knows - maybe next year will be different.

In the meantime, I'm jetting off to Chicago for a few days of shopping, then onto Omaha for a relaxing Vel-DuRay sort of Christmas with mother and sister-woman.

I'll leave you with this picture of dear departed Sputnik. He was so devoted to the nativity scene.....

Thanksgivingpalooza!

Oh. My. God.

I cooked not one, but TWO Thanksgiving dinners. Never again. Both delicious. Both tasteful. Both unforgettable for the attendees. But never again. I'm too old for that sort of thing.

Thanksgiving one.



Thanksgiving two.



And some fucking turkey on some fucking buffet (probably day two. By that time I was ready to bar a door.)



But that's all behind us now. Let's look at some Christmas Trees!

First, Sala Grande. Think Pink!



And, of course, The Lodge!
