Random stuff and Charlie's dreams

This might be one of the funniest things ever. It's a video type thingy, so don't click if you don't have the access.

Is anyone else panicking about Christmas being next weekend? I'm so totally not ready yet. Sigh. I got the "Santa" presents done, but that's about it. Although I am proud of me - on my in-law side we do family pollyannas and this year we're doing 'family board games' and I got the Las Vegas Edition of Monopoly. I thought that was cool.

I got a note from Charlie's teacher yesterday. They were watching a portion of Disney's Fantasia, the bit that was to one of the Nutcracker songs, and there were dancing mushrooms, flowers, water, etc. Apparently Charlie was utterly fascinated by this and when it was over he said "That is how I want to dream."

"That is how I want to dream."

Ooh, that's sort of cold-shivery and lovely.

What is a family pollyanna? (because you can't possible be getting together as a family to maim a Sue-ish overly-sweet girl, although if you were, THAT'd be a neat Christmas tradition).

er-Pollyannas - to pick names out of a hat and then give that person something? Like a Secret Santa only it's not a secret.

I like your idea better, though.

Oh. I've heard of that before (especially in large families, where every person buying something for every other person would be impossible), but you're the first person to ever put a name on it for me. :) Thanks.
