Braved St. Vital Centre yet again today, an experience roughly equivalent to body-surfing in a mosh pit at a Christmas Classics concert. I did manage to find a few last gifts (including George's). I also had passing contact with more humanity than I cared to in so short a period of time.

Came home, exercised, and in a fit of post-shopping-stress weakness ordered Chinese food. Mmmmm, greasy chicken chow mein from the Oriental Bowl, which has humungous portions and reasonably good quality. Apparently my holiday bout of "diabetes? what diabetes?" eating has started a couple of days early. I can't remember which comedian it was who said "Rice is great if you're hungry and want 2000 of something", but boy, is it ever true.

A note to the people to whom I'm mailing presents: I haven't mailed yet. I'll do so sometime between Christmas and New Years. Too much work and too little energy.

Tomorrow I have to... do some stuff. I'm too tired to think exactly what it is right now, but I'm sure I'll remember in the morning. Laundry is in there somewhere. So is picking up a card for my mother. So is working on my latest comic project, which has to be finished sometime around December 27th or 28th. No rest, wicked, and so on and so forth.

Right now my eyes keep sliding over to the Hickory Farms gift box on the main studio table. I want to try their Beef Sticks so much.

Borrowed from [livejournal.com profile] morgaine_inanna's LJ, a revamped Pagan Christmas carol that's actually tasteful and well done.

God Rest Ye Merry Pagan Folk

God rest ye merry Pagan folk
Let nothing you dismay
Remember that the sun returns
Upon this solstice day
The growing dark is ended now
And spring is on its way
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy.

The winter's worst still lies ahead
Fierce tempest, snow and rain
Beneath the blanket on the ground
The spark of life remains
The sun's warm rays caress the seeds
To raise Life's songs again
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy.

Within the blessed apple lies,
The promise of the Queen
For from this pentacle shall rise
The orchards fresh and green
The Earth shall blossom once again
The air be sweet and clean
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy.
