The latest?

Veronica wishing everyone a "Fleece Nobby-Dob."

He he he...

I know, it's been a while. The holidays and all the chaos surrounding them are at least partly to blame. But here are a few notes:

Veronica's favorite excuses for not doing something:
"I'm too busy."
"I'm scared. Of monsters."
"In a few mimetts."

She loves making the Christmas ornaments "talk" to one another. Sometimes they ask each other what they want for Christmas. Did you know the baby Jesus wants a gingerbread house? Neither did I.

She loves singing Christmas carols. She can sing all of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (well, except that first "you know Dasher and Dancer..." part), but not knowing all the words to other songs sometimes results in a medley that usually goes something like this:

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all de waaaay, oh what fun it is to ride, inna sleigh open sleigh, my true love gave to me, pat-ted in a pear tree, nine ladies dancing! Nine ladies dancing! We wish you a Merry Kwiss-mess, we wish you a Merry Kwiss-mess, we wish you a Merry Kwiss-mess, and Happy New Year! Frosty de Snowman...Up on de rooftop, reindeer pause, up jump Santa Kwazz, ho ho ho, who wouldn't go, ho ho ho, who wouldn't go, up on the housetop, reindeer pause...."

And so on, and so forth. Better than anything I've heard on the radio. ;-)

That's it for now, but hopefully the next update will be more cohesive...and a lot sooner too.
