Holiday Observances

[browngirl]

I came up with an awesome costume for myself : the night sky! I need to find a few yards of sheer black cloth to stick the stars on, but failing that I can use my black sheet. I'm a smidge disappointed that I won't be able to wear it to work, but I'm really excited for Halloween on a Saturday. I need to figure out where to put a sign to direct trick or treaters to us.

Now to help the bambini figure theirs out.




*sings "Three months to Christmas" to the tune of "No sleep till Brooklyn"*

I'm trying to plan ahead and figure out how much I have energy to do. So, some thoughts.

Shall I do:

yuletide? I would love to write a story for someone, and I hope to get the Wild Kratts dubcon hateex tale of my dreams. But I'm not sure I have time. I definitely don't have time for all the discussions.

2) The Fruitcake Project? I don't know if I have the energy and wherewithal. But I really want to make and share fruitcake. I feel a determined joyou obligation to battle the maligning of fruitcake, one happy mouthful at a time. [Remind me to research 3-inch wafer paper for the panforte. Or maybe I could dampen wider wafer paper and tuck into greased pans like a muffin paper. Anyway.)

3) holiday_wishes? I need to figure out what I can ask for my little and big roommates. I don't really need anything (no one can give me money or time). Maybe I'll post with a list of offers instead. Or request Etsy gift cards. I have told myself I may not buy anythin for thisg; I can only send what I already have.

4) Cards? - I really want to send cards to EVERYONE this year, and to stick a copy of Happy Everything on my workplace fridge with glue. Maybe I'll do postcards within the US to save on postage They're still bright and cute and holidaytastic. Or should I not?
