Merry Christmas: My Present to Myself

Sherlock Holmes and Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus open today. What a thrill to see Jude Law in both. Actors Heath Ledger, Tom Waits, Johnny Depp and director Terry Gilliam just lagniappe!

Listen to NPR's review. I did not decrease the size of the original embeded code, because I wanted a large box (my present) to appear on this page. I would like today's post to represent how simple pleasures can be the largest gifts of our (life) seasons.

Christmas Postage!

Today, I listened to the Nutcracker as I wrapped presents for my family. This frugalista's budget presented me with a choice of one of my usual holiday treats of attending The Nutcracker or A Christmas Carolor participating in a gift exchange with family. Personally, I'd like all of us to attend a holiday production, however, or schedules dictate a simple exchange.

This photopeach spiral reminds me of Christmases past.

Peace

Just days after announcing the deployment of more troops to Afghanistan, Obama accepts the Nobel Prize for Peace. I, like Obama agree that there are more deserving choices. I am terribly fond of Obama, however, the truth does hurt.
