Friday fill-in

1. Away in a manger, no room for a bed (resisting—in the spirit of Christmas—all sorts of snarky fill-ins).
2. Dashing through the snow, in a 3.2 liter Ferrari with torsion bar suspension and those ported venturi carburetors.
3. Hark! The herald angels sing (still resisting).
4. It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees (I wouldn't presume to mess with Joni).
5. When I was small I believed in Santa Claus, and I still do.
6. That Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very shiny middle.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to shopping, tomorrow my plans include getting our tree finally after illness delay, and Sunday, I want to continue getting caught up and have a festive STUN movie night!

Our movie theme for Sunday is holiday movies. You know, great films like "Die Hard," "Life of Brian," "Enemy of the State," etc. It'll be really interesting to see what the kids show up with.
