Writer's Block: Holiday blues

6 hours ago ago from Lady Moony-Loony\'s Free-For-All

For me, the traveling wipes me out, physically and emotionally. We travel for four to six days around Christmas, then we have a major party at church New Year's Eve. By the time New Year's Day comes, I just want to SLEEP. But I love the trappings of Christmas, though I have none in my home (not by choice, we just travel so much this time of year we have never really invested in any). I love the lights and the music and the goodwill. I ...

Open Thread – Twelve Days of Christmas

22 hours ago ago from The Mudflats

Last year I had fun rewriting the Twelve Days of Christmas with Palinized lyrics.  This year, the tradition continues.  You can once again imagine the Mudflats choir congregating in town square, everything covered with frost and the new Mark Begich LED lights twinkling in the trees giving everything a money-saving blueish glow.  There they are, with their red apple cheeks and cold noses, breath turning to steam waiting to begin. They'll ...

Charlotte Hilton Andersen: 7 Healthy Tips for the Impatient and Impulsive

16 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

One of the things I find most mystifying about this season (besides wondering why nobody ever writes new Christmas songs - I'm a fan of all the big holiday hits but a girl can only hear Jingle Bell Rock so many times, especially if it's Mariah Carey singing it) is why people want to wait until January 1st to do things.
