Dreams of lollipops and candycanes.

It's a squeeful time of year. Aside from mourning television due to the strike that's happening and other worldly current events, it's the holiday season. I have been enjoying many things this month so far. For starters, I finally got the tree put up (it's artificial, the first artificial pre-lit tree I've ever had in my life, sans the fresh evergreen smell of pine it's very pretty and shiny). Have been wrapping presents, decorating and whatnot. Christmas specials galore, last night's Supernatural was very touching and I can't wait for Gossip Girl. It's going to be sad once all new episodes of my fandoms are done, because I'll be boycotting television until the strike ends. But hey, we can pray for a Christmas miracle can't we? *is still optimistic*

Jodie Foster came out most recently, and rumormill has it that Queen Latifah is to marry to her longtime girlfriend. The latter is just gossip at the moment, but still I'm happy for her nonetheless.

And Hayden Panettiere is my hero. Seriously.

Randomly, does anyone else like to gaze at Christmas-lit houses on their blocks? It's like a tradition to walk or drive around and look at all the different Christmas decorations and lights on other people's houses, to see how who just did the generic decorating or who went all-out this holiday season. I mean, it wouldn't be Christmas without that sightseeing. There's this one street in our neighborhood, almost every house is heavily decorated with lights -- I seriously think the people who live down there are trying to outdo each other each year. It's insane, but massively pretty.

God, I LOVE the holiday season!

lol! I'm glad you are feeling better and enjoying all the fun aspects of Christmas ^.^

I... had no idea about either of their orientations! @.@

I'm glad that Hayden is off saving the world SAVING THE WORLD while the strikes on... its nice that she's using her celebrity for a cause ^.^

Have fun with all of it, okay? ^.^

Hee, well it is nearly Christmas so why not enjoy it? So many things to love about this time of the year. :D

Hayden brings in the awesome. Even though she's still wanted in Japan after the dolphin incident, it's better news coverage than other celebrities when they do something stupid like drunk partying or drugs and whatnot. At least Hayden's doing something for a better cause in the world, which is why I'm loving her more and more. Her answers in that article are very articulate and real.

You have fun too, with how you're celebrating your holiday season. *hugs*

Exactly! Oh, and on your tree... we just got a new artificial one, lol! I think we had a real one once... and the verdict was "too many pine needles" lol!

Thank you! *hugs back lots*

Yeah, I didn't want to hassle for finding the right fitting tree anymore. And I'm the girl that's all "no fake trees! I want a real tree, with the real smell, the works!" But thinking it over, it's probably better to NOT have a real tree in our house because the tree never stays fresh and thus needles are EVERYWHERE. It's a bitch cleaning them up afterwards.
