Well, that's me right now with everyone gone on vacation. *sigh* Sad Frümoment: I came home from my madrigal rehearsal Sun night and tossed in Live Noise to play along to "No No Raja," and my sense of rhythm abandoned me (or so it seemed!) I just couldn't get it right, or I felt like I was dragging. So, I throw in YWGTTM and play along to the original cut and "Sahara." still rhythmically impaired... arrrgh!!!! after a glass of wine--- Happy non-Frümoment: [well, it is somewhat a disconnected Frü'tent, in that I used to sing along to it before singing along to "Les Miserables" which was the predominant theme at the Clinton Show] after a glass of wine I tossed in "Phantom of the Opera" and sang along. I started the POTO duet already wondering how flat I was going to be for the god-awful high note that Sarah Brightman hits at the end and wonder of wonders... I nailed it! for the first time in about 6 years I nailed that note... solid and crystal clear. I minor triumph to make up for my rhythmic failings, I guess :^) Anyway, St. Früvous left no special presents for me, so I guess I'm off to the Record Archive to pick up "Wood" and "b."

Steve's family, on the other hand, does the tear-into-the-pile,n rip-everything-to-shreds-in-ten-minutes routine, which I have grown used to, but still regret. Sometimes people don't even remember what they got, or who got it for them, and they generally don't have the foggiest notion what others received. It kind of minimizes the ritual for me ... I like appreciating each gift, and letting the giver know it, and that's hard to do with madness all around. Different strokes, I guess. As for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, we did Christmas Eve dinner/ gift opening for the first time this year, due to schedule constraints on everyone's parts, and I was the hostess. And it was not pleasant! Little pink wings flapped beforehand! I really needed that extra day, and things got a little crazy because I didn't have it. So count me as a confirmed Christmas-Eve family-partygoer and church attender, but I prefer to keep gifts and Christmas dinner for Christmas Day itself.

How true! this would be what my parents (that is, my Dad) does. The tree has been known to stay up until February, when it's not real. The lights come down anytime between Feb and May. And once he didn't take down the train platform until late August. We really didn't see the point of that. Mom, bless her, just ignores all this. I, being far less patient, am the one who instituted the after-Jan-6 rule in my own house. (Obsessive- compulsive homicidal flamingo with delusions of murrmaidism, that's me.) Veronica observed: >You're supposed to take Christmas lights down!!!??? :) Oh sure, the >indoor ones, but you ever tried climing up on a roof in Toronto in >January? Brrrr.... We only ever used the indoor ones in Canada. Oh, and a few clear ones on the shrubbery, but those we just left up until it was warm enough not to get frostbite untwisting them from the branches. (They were put up the day after Halloween, of course. Which coincided nicely with the first snowfall one year, and the third the other year.) What we REALLY liked was the recycling of Christmas trees as Winterlude scenery come mid-February. - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 03:29:27 GMT From: Juliette Lexington Subject: Re: either/or (Coke varieties) - ---aadler1@tiger.towson.edu wrote: > THAT'S because you called it the wrong name!
