A serviceman's poem describes a soldier's lonely night before Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Happy any other holiday you celebrate during this time of the year.

Snowing harder yet! Originally uploaded by txvoodoo

Yup, the snow is hitting us here. My first White Christmas in Dallas!

View the whole set here!

Okay, after three days of baking, assembling, and decorating, Gingerbread House 2009 is finally done!

Here is the dough, rolled out and ready to be cut. It's homemade, of course. Which reminds me--next year I need a bigger mixer. I don't think my current one can take another year of hardy gingerbread dough. ;-)

Here are some of the pieces in the oven. The window cutouts are filled with crushed cherry Lifesavers. I usually use Jolly Ranchers, and I'll be going back to those next year, because the Lifesavers turned out to be opaque. ;-(

Here the house is, assembled but undecorated. Since we don't actually eat it, I use a simple, very thick frosting made from powdered sugar and milk.

And here is the final product. Candy used: mini-candy canes, cherry Andes mints, wingergreen Lifesavers, Twizzlers pull-n-peel, Holiday M&Ms, little round red and green peppermint hard candies, and yogurt-covered pretzels.

Here's the side view.

And the other side.

What do you think? What are your holiday traditions?

I was hoping to be able to share the artwork for Red Hood’s Revenge as a Christmas treat, but the final cover isn’t ready yet.  However, I can probably get away with sharing this new icon I made today

I had been worried about switching cover artists in mid-series.  I was scared the characters wouldn’t be recognizable.  You tell me — is this Snow, or is this Snow?

I’ll probably be scarce for the next few days, doing the Christmas thing with my family.  All the best to everyone who’s celebrating, and here’s to a wonderful 2010.

A couple of hours of sleet followed by several hours of snow = Mass Panic and Mayhem in Oklahoma.

We have a very slick ice layer and white-out conditions, so all three major networks have been doing road condition coverage ALL DAY so far. ALL DAY. We gave up and put in White Christmas, the last of our Christmas marathon movies. (We already did The Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart Version) and I's a Wonderful Life.)

Fortunately this isn't freezing rain, the bane of power lines everywhere, so we still have power. Pie-making is about to commence.

It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas! And it’s a white Christmas, even in Texas! Whodathunk?

I have a holiday post up at Odd Shots, eggnog in my coffee, a stocking cap on my head, presents wrapped, a book to read, and the rest of the weekend off of work.

Joyeux noel!

I would like to know why the dog has a bigger pile of presents than me.

Sung with internet gusto...

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

( In Bethlehem )
