GR&DF thank you for the kind comments for yesterdays post. For the past few years we have been putting up an artificial/prelit tree - so the fresh tree is a very nice change. Next year it is back to the artificial one. Alice asked about the exercise I must take to keep my ever so slim figure - slim I aint!! I must confess that a majority of the baked goods and sweet treats I usually send to work with Rico. He works for a large Construction Firm and there are plenty of folks there that will eat up my cooking. I will usually just hold back a slice or a single piece for the two of us - but the rest I send out into the world. The only exercise I seem to get is chasing the who-hounds, dragging the laundry up and down the stairs, slaving away in the kitchen (more fun than slave I must admit) and pushing the vacuum and rug shampooer around, and lets not forget all the finger work that I put in - that TV clicker ain't gonna click itself!!
I wanted to post a snap of the pitiful amount of stitching I have gotten done on Christmas Rules...
Sorry that the linen looks band-aid coloured - it is a bit lighter.
On Friday coming home from work we went over to the Haight and stopped at a great record/dvd store called Amoeba Records. Rico was looking for something and I was along as the driver. While he was off somewhere I went through all the Holiday DVD's and found this...
(sorry for the craptastic snap) This was a total blast from the past. I had no idea that it had ever been released onto DVD. It is from 1987 and the Christmas Special has been stuck in my mind for the last two decades - so very funny!! The DVD also has a Halloween Special and an Easter Special - pretty super for a used DVD!! Here is a clip from the Christmas Special -
A great interpretation of a wonderful old carol. You can find the entire Christmas Claymation on You Tube in three parts. Give it a look - you will not be disappointed.
There you go sports fans - short post today. Thanks for stopping by, do stop by again.
Take care,
edgar

Good progress on Christmas Rules. Will you be getting it finished for this Christmas?
ReplyDeleteYour baking in the previous post looks delicious. I daren't try any though as I'm trying to lose some weight before Christmas.
Thank you for introducing us to the Claymation Christmas. i don't remember that one, but will look for it now.
ReplyDeleteEdgar: I love clamation and have never seen this before thank-you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour progree may be slow but at least you have something going.
Merry Christmas.

Oh, I loved Claymation Christmas. My favorite were the camals, I think. Wow, it's been years!
ReplyDeleteI remember that from when I was a kid! Memories...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, sending your yummy creations off to sit on someone else's hips. I enjoy baking more than cooking, and I do have three teens that eat it up like crazy... but still too much of it sticks around if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Rules is looking very nice.
Edgar, I love your newest start! And I really love your humor.
