Me to Mom, who dislikes the heavy Grinch presence muddying up her neighborhood solstice celebrations:
“The Grinch was wildly misunderstood. He just wanted his party house neighbors to STFU.”

I think even Dr Seuss missed the point there with the Grinch.
Neighbors screaming and singing and banging stuff every opportunity, by the time Christmas rolls around I’d be pondering domestic terrorism too.

@shadowspar notice the distinct lack of decorations within reach

@shadowspar they do love the tree, though. It is simultaneously adorable and annoying.

@GGMcBG are they taking a break from Hitler or something? Or oh I know they’re showing “Hitler’s last Christmas” right?
I mean I’d hate for the History Channel to break a twenty year streak on subject matter.

@thegibson how well did you do last Christmas?
hackers.town: 2024-12-25 Wed 10:45
@thegibson Ah well, once bitten twice shy.

oh heck that was almost Dave Bazan / Pedro the Lion levels of melodic depression. Let’s fiddle with the dial a bit.

Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas by Eels

Honestly I made out pretty darn good for Christmas.
Book is exactly the right size and weight that I thought @IamMrsGeek got me D&D stuff at first.

We tried playing MunchinQuest and nearly made it through an entire turn after an hour and a half.
The household board game experts will be working on it and revisit with the rest of us later.

We have watched Krampus. Enjoyable. Shortly we will be watching Rare Exports. A tradition.

It does occur to me that my favorite movies are mostly quirky and quiet. Rare Exports, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, Down By Law, The Castle (1997), Clockwise, stuff like that.
I’m always impressed when somebody stays awake through the whole thing. Well done @IamMrsGeek
