Which means that this time of year, once again, is marked not only by holiday cheer and general merriment, but also Finals. (1 like)

The Santa Effect: posted on Friday, December 25th, 2015 by Lynn Dot (Chocolate Chip Mint)
Elves are the unsung heroes at Christmas, in my opinion. Everyone waits with anticipation for Santa's visit, urgently wishing that he bestow something upon them - material or otherwise. It's a fantasy for children and borders on religion for adults. Rotund men, I've been told, have been know to dress up as him.
And what thanks do the elves get? No adoration, no letters full of hopefulness, no moment in the spotlight, they're just behind the scenes making it all happen. (0 likes)

Goodbye 2015.... and Holidailies!!: posted on Friday, January 1st, 2016 by Melanie Galliano (MellTells)
It seems 2015 just passed me by.... I don't know where the year went. Not feeling well most of the time left me with many days of going through the motions. I felt so spacey and out of it so much of the time that I don't even remember half of what we did. (0 likes)
A Very Friendly New Years Eve: posted on Friday, January 1st, 2016 by Lynn Dot (Chocolate Chip Mint)
Hubby and I celebrated New Years Eve by watching Pink Martini and spending the night downtown. Another couple was supposed to come with us but didn’t make it due to flight cancellations on the east coast. I put the tickets on Craiglist and sold them within an hour but the buyer, Andy, didn't take the room explaining his partner had a child and had to be home by 1 am. I’m not sure it mattered, though, because Andy was going to get lucky either way. (0 likes)

I’ve hesitated to write anything that feels like a Holidailies wrap-up, because I sort of fizzled out of participation this year. While I laud Richard and JeniPurr for keeping the project and the community going, I just didn’t feel very connected to it this year, which is a shame, because it’s the decade of Holidailies writings that morphed into my book.

The Real Deal: posted on Saturday, January 2nd, 2016 by Lynn Dot (Chocolate Chip Mint)
We decided to check out a couple of our neighborhood parks today. It was sunny but very cold and breezy here. There weren't many out doing the same but we did come across a few adventuresome souls. They were walking in pairs, or with their dog or seahawk. We even saw a few bicyclists.
Wait, seahawk? Why, yes. Seahawk. (0 likes)

Short Story: Under Glass: posted on Saturday, October 8th, 2016 by Melissa Bartell (MissMeliss - Bathtub Mermaid)
Except this coffin wasnt made of glass. Instead, it was formed from lead and bronze, with a pair of diamond-shaped glass windows set into the top. And was old. Decades at least. Maybe centuries.
Except this girl, the one inside the box, wasnt an adolescent on the cusp of womanhood. Rather the pale face he saw centered in the top window, the one framed by jet-black curls adorned with a bit of lace, was cherub-cheeked and babyish, and he didnt think shed been a day over three when she died.

I dont ride on my grandfathers feet any more. Instead, I follow his lead as we swirl in a graceful circle, and I smile when I hear him humming along with the song.
When the music ends, he strokes my hair. Thank you, sweetheart, he whispers.

These kids didnt come from the Clown College that itself had closed over a decade before not enough applicants to keep it open but they had the bug the drive the need to entertain. (1 like)

Holidailies 13: Quick Guide to Bullet Journaling: posted on Tuesday, December 13th, 2016 by Rosa Swann (Easily Distracted Planner)
I know that Bullet Journaling is one of the main subjects of this blog, which is why I thought it a good idea to actually make a guide on how to Bullet Journal in a back-to-basics way. Most of the pictures and posts I show on this blog are from me using this system for nearly a year now, but I thought it a good idea to also show my own beginnings. Lets begin. (3 likes)

Its been a quiet week between, as I reckon it should be. I had a morning of thrifting followed by lunch with a good friend on Wednesday, but since then I and the pets have mostly been nesting and enjoying the lazy days (James sadly could not join in, as he returned to work on Tuesday).
I love this week between, the time to reflect and begin to plan for the coming year. I am not so much a resolution maker, but I do find it meaningful to take stock and look ahead at the start.... (0 likes)

Craft Beer is Serious Business: posted on Tuesday, December 19th, 2017 by Lynn Dot (Chocolate Chip Mint)

Consider, also, the names of beers: Chasing Fluffy Pink Unicorns by Ghost Runners Brewery, for example. There are so many more great names but I have chased fluffy pink unicorns and cannot call them to mind. (0 likes)

One was hers, of course, and one would hold the dogs annual treat, but the other two were for her parents, even though they had made it clear they werent doing Christ (0 likes)

For the longest time, when Fuzzy and I both worked nights doing tech support for Gateway, we had a gold moon as the topper, but as our marriage matured our trees grew in stature (well, we kept upgrading to larger ones) and the moon was soon relegated to normal ornament status.

For years, the house had been rumored to be haunted. It was the one that always seemed neglected. It wasnt tall or imposing just a post-war bungalow, like half the houses in the neighborhood, but there was something off about it. The grass was always a touch too long, the shingles too shabby, the windows when you walked by at dusk or after, it was as if there was something watching from behind them.

We bought a container of it on Thursday afternoon, and by bedtime, wed finished the container. (I did not measure the container.) (0 likes)

It is hard to find three to four days where all you can do is sew, so I figured I’d better learn how to fit the activity into my life in a different way. The result has been that I’ve now been working on this jacket for over a month. It is the project that will never end. (1 like)

And the machines were mass produced enough, and are unpopular enough, that many can be purchased for not that much money. (0 likes)

Early Morning: posted on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022 by Christina Yovovich (Desert Agave)
In the past year, I seem to have lost my ability to sleep in. It isn’t a big deal. I can still get to sleep at night, and sleep through the night, but once morning hits, I’m awake, even if it is 5:00 a.m. This is a little ironic because my baby and then kid used to rise at 5:00 every day, and I complained about it mightily.
