Another year has passed us by,
And this one uglier than most,
So now it’s time for you and I
To cheer its ending with a toast.
Well. That was…not a great year, was it?
How to ensure 2017 is a better one? Throw some salt, do a dance, will it unto the cosmos?
Maybe just resolve to be as good as we can be and hope for the best?
Celebrate tonight if you can, let 2017 be born to joy and revelry, and have a happy new year.

After managing somehow to stave it off the entire season, I have finally taken grossly ill just in time for Christmas. Because 2016, I guess.
So, have a much better Christmas than me, everyone!

Finally done with shopping, wrapping, and shipping! Now I’m all ready for my favorite year-end party (…well, almost – still need a few more snacks!).
What’s everyone else doing for the holidays?
Bene vīvite.
This week, let us all give thanks for the things that are…not bad.
And even some of the things that are bad, if they’re also, you know, kind of good, or…result in good things.
You know how it is.
Bene scribete.
Hope everyone’s ready for Halloween tomorrow!
I’m feeling lazy, so here’s Sear again with pumpkin stuff.
Now to go and get some candy for–for the childrens…

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! But it’s just not quite complete without reminding everyone to go check out some weirdtastic Finnish reindeer drama:
Reindeer DramaYou can’t always strike gold when absently perusing Netflix, but sometimes, you might strike…reindeer?
Don’t strike reindeer, though. That’s terribly rude.
Reindeer Drama: Part -1After seeing the second movie, tracking down the first became a necessity.
It does not disappoint.
Glory in their madness, and have a happy new year!

For anyone who missed Sear’s Halloween special last week, watch to learn the fascinating story behind the use of pumpkins!

BUY ALL OF THE CHRISTMAS
Christmas shopping is hard, man.
Well, the shopping part is kind of fun, in a festive tradition-y sort of way.
It’s the ideas – those are hard. You’re on the spot, and no matter how well you know some people, when tasked to produce a single, paltry thought as to something – anything – they might enjoy or find useful, the best you can come up with is “uhhhhhh…”
You know how it is.
But when you do find that perfect something – that’s the stuff, right there. Yeah. Then you take a few minutes to nod in self-congratulation, because you deserve it. Good job, you.
I think I’m about halfway done. That’s about…I’d say…around 50% less done than I’d like to be. This year’s been trickier than others for some reason. I think I just left my creativity in a box somewhere while moving, and still haven’t unpacked it yet.
Need to find that stuff. Then I can get back to nodding.
Bene scribete.
That time once again’s drawing near –
An end to the holiday cheer.
So go have some fun
Until it’s all done,
And then have a happy new year!

Looking for some classic Christmas entertainment to liven up the holidays? Of course not – you can find that anywhere.
Looking for some crazy Christmas entertainment to crazy up the holidays? Well, then, might I prescribe a double dose of Finnish reindeer drama?
Behold the magical insanity that are these films:
Reindeer DramaYou can’t always strike gold when absently perusing Netflix, but sometimes, you might strike…reindeer?
Don’t strike reindeer, though. That’s terribly rude.
Reindeer Drama: Part -1After seeing the second movie, tracking down the first became a necessity.
It does not disappoint.
They really do need to make more of these (if for no other reason than these reviews are always bringing in web traffic… (>^-‘)> ). Get on it, Finland!
And to the rest of you, have a wonderful Christmas!
