It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas October

Since divachickie found it hard to believe that we didn't have any snow up here yet, I was toying with the idea of taking a few photos outside. Then I arrived at my parent's house this afternoon and I was completely inspired. We've had the most vicious wind today (gusting to around 60 mph!). And since my mom's Christmas decorations have no snow to anchor them down, this is the scene I arrived to.





Lots of dead snowmen & one adorable dog.


I'm sitting here finishing my Christmas cards so I can mail them out tomorrow. If anyone else wants a card, make yourself known now! Lee, yours might be late, since I have a little gift for you too, but I'm not sure which box it ended up in. I'll look this week.

possibly VAST

they did it for a christmas comp a few years back...

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Eh, no. I don't think VAST is correct. But thanks!

[foxontherun.livejournal.com]

Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) by The Darkness is another one. Lol.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's no way in hell a Darkness song will ever end up on any of my CDs.

If it's the one from the Grinch movie with heavy guitars that's like dunununununnununu...GRINCH! (the dunununu part is the guitar lol) it's Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Oh, and since I can't get a hold of part of your gift til Tuesday, yours is going out in the mail later this week.

I don't think it's TSO either. I'm going to have to dig through old tapes, because I'm pretty sure I recorded it at one time. It's driving me nuts!

Gary Hoey did a version, I think??
