    I leave a string of lights up through at least February for the same reason. It helps me get through winter with SAD.

    For the past several years, I watch The Call the Midwife Christmas special with a glass of wine or cup of tea, depending on my mood.

    Another Goodreads user here.

    I thought that was the whole point of passive-aggressive office notes. Maybe that’s just where I work.

    Has it ever happened before? If this is the only time it’s been a problem, I’d let go.

    I love all of Beaker’s mimi mi mi mimis.

    Just cold here, but we may have a white Christmas when we drive to my parents’ house where they did get a little snow.

    O Come...Emmanuel, especially The Punch Brothers’ version.

    That tradition makes zero sense to me as a member of Team The Stocking IS The Wrapping, and I would refuse to keep it going just for tradition’s sake.

    I decided after I was 40something that I was old enough to stay home on Christmas Eve and Christmas at least every other year or so. I don’t think it’s selfish for older generations to host a big family celebration on the day itself, but it would be if they insist that everyone needs to attend every year.

    That sounds like our house, though one DD is an extrovert.

    Is their water very soft? I’ve had issues getting all the shampoo rinsed out thoroughly in soft water before.

    I got one of the ceramic non-stick liners a couple of months ago. I don’t know that I prefer it over the stainless steel liner my IP came with, but it’s nice to have an extra one.

    We recently got this one and both DH and I like it a lot: LectroFan High Fidelity White Noise Machine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6D6LQY

    I like baking but I don’t have the patience for cookies.

    I think the meaning is clear but it’s an understandable mistake for the receiver to have misinterpreted “may not have†as meaning “might not have (any yet)†rather than “is not allowed to have.â€

    Harrison Ford is older than my dad, so I didn't notice him until I got older. ;)

    It really depends on the item. We've had some things take longer than two days in the past month, but we've also had at least a couple of shipments that arrived a day sooner than expected.

    My first crush was on Luke Skywalker. I realized that it never really went away.
  20. Word Nerd
    Not at all. Why would it matter?
  21. Word Nerd
    I liked it OK for what it was though I was disappointed with Luke's storyline in this one. The Rey/Kylo interaction was the most interesting part of the movie for me.

    This exactly. I’m glad it’s being handled and that your DH talked to him. That will hopefully make a difference for others regardless of whether DD returns.

    I don’t get the concern about including tweens/teens in “adult†church activities (what makes them suitable only for grown-ups?) and don’t think that is a warning sign of anything. Singling out your DD and presuming to take her to task over her dress, though, is absolutely not appropriate and needs to be addressed.

    I was going to say the same thing. I never wear heels, but I regularly cuff my jeans.
