The weight of royal treasure

Ah, the Christmas of non-Christians. A default setting, but we like the pretty tree.

Swag: Criterion Collection's Kurosawa DVD set, that book about Volkswagens, The Office scripts, a frame for my birthday gift from Marc, pajama bottoms, and a pair of PF Flyers. Because, you know, I need more of those. And best of all BROCCOLI, from BNE Narns. Portrait to be posted soon.

Food, (I actually brought the Christmas dinner menu home with me): Honey Roasted Carrot, Bean & Yam Soup w. Herb Croutons; Salad of Organic Baby Spinach w. Gorgonzola, Pears, Grapes, and Walnut Vinaigrette; Traditional Roast Turkey w. Sage Stuffing, Thyme-Roasted Potatoes, Pomme Puree, Glazed Carrots & Parsnips, and Cranberry Confiture; Warm Plum Pudding w. Creme Anglaise & Brandy Sauce; Coffee/Loose Leaf Tea w. Christmas Petit Fours & Mince Pies.

I realize the above is slightly obscene, gloating over gifts and food like, um, Caligula. But I didn't get to go with Narns to the jolly Christmas eve dinner. So I clings to what I gots!

Next year, I am attaching myself to your hip a few days before Christmas so you will be forced to bring me to dinner.

Dibs on the other hip, then. (We'll be hippies)

What do I get, then? A hand?

I'll be handy.
