we sneaked out, into the sun-lit forest.
Magdelana guided the way down the invented garden path to the fortress
I can reveal nothing more.
It is secret.
Deep in the heartwoods.
Nightfall fell.
Kids in pajamas (said with British accent);
tooth breeshed, upon our favourite hygienist's recommend.
Hopped in the automobile for surprise trip down
Mount Norway.
Pulled into the drab house neighborhood turned
BEAUTIFUL
illuminated and alive with creatures from the Poles.
Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward dueting with us.
Slow drive, caroling to us.
Then,
home to bed.
HOLIDAY SONG OF THE DAY
Baby, It's Cold Outside / She & Him
RITUALS & EVENTS
Singing O Holy Night very, very loud in the automobile and not remembering most of the words.
Exploring in The Woods and having Magdelana discover another secret fort.
Driving through the neighborhood Christmas lights at the bottom of mountain.
Finishing Crazy, Stupid, Love and having Becca stay awake until the end. A Christmas miracle. Heh heh.
The most wonderful time of the year. Thanks for letting us see through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteBecca stayed awake! I couldn't be more proud. That's my sister. Could you guys maybe not watch another movie together until I'm able to watch it with you? Can we start a new Christmas ritual together? I haven't seen you in 36 hours, 1. I miss you.
