Paging Jacob Marley

Filed in: , , , ,

A very Merry Christmas to all the readers who help pay my mortgage, and to Jacob Marley, who really deserved his own ghostly visitations too...

Please, all rise for the traditional Christmas hymn…

Right, I’m heading back to my window to admire the first white Christmas in years. There’s snow everywhere, crisp and even, just as ordered. I can’t remember the last time it was like this, and not sure if we’ll get to enjoy it again any time soon, so I’m temporarily taking off my cynical hat to go say: “Oooh, pretty.”

See you next year, folks.

Damn, your white Christmas is whiter than our white Christmas. I’m experiencing snow envy.
