Merry merry happy

Happy holidays from mine to yours; this is the Christmas Eve scene. Half the fam was here last night, and half will be here today! Christmas cheer for weeks!

I received a Kindle, about which I am delighted. My first download was from Project Gutenberg: the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, by Francis Grose. A term I would like to revive: "Admiral of the narrow seas," which is defined as "one who from drunkenness vomits into the lap of the person sitting opposite to him." Ho ho ho!

Merry happy!

All the best to you and yours!

He's no Frosty ...

... but he'll do.

Erephant!

There's a new origami elephant at the American Museum of Natural History. It's part of their Christmas display, and it's cool.
