i know that you know the end of the quote, and if you don’t know the end of the quote, then your christmas movie watching experiences need to be broadened.
this is going to be an offtopic entry, but hey, you probably don’t want to know all of my boring thoughts on sock knitting either.
mid has a new goal in life. or rather, two goals in life, but they sort of dovetail. mid’s great plan is to become the king of the crazy christmas house ™.
example a: a crazy christmas lights house
he’s become enamored with this idea for the past 2 months or so.
a short description of the dynamic of our house, involving christmas: while i don’t actually practice a belief set that has christmas as a primary holiday, i was raised christian and there’s a lot of stuff about it that i do still follow. our winter holiday falls really close to christmas, and i’ve never really given up my love for all things christmas. i’m the type of person that has no problem listening to christmas music the middle of august and i want to decorate as soon as possible.
mid, on the other hand, really doesn’t like christmas. there’s not much about it he can really get behind. this is why i was so suprised about the whole tree issue. the christmas tree wasn’t my idea- that was all him.
mid’s grand plan for the years to come is to make one of these crazy christmas houses. he’s been talking about routers and breakers and controllers for months now. at one point he was talking about turning where we’re living now into one of these lit monstrousities until i convinced him that would probably be a very bad idea.
the second leg of his great plan is to have at least part of this light show relate to the hogfather. i bought the book for him as a way of keeping him occupied (and it’s my favorite book currently). and now he wants a sleigh pulled by pigs.
example b: a clip from hogfather. i wanted a clip where death’s dressed up like the hogfather but i couldn’t find one.
christmas gets a little…weird around here.
