Friday 24th December 2010Christmas Eve today. I spent it doing some (very) last minute present shopping for Dad, Sister and Granny and the rest of it just chilling out not doing that much. Pixar's "Cars" was on tv so watched that with the family and that was all!
Also... new pyjamas. As the photo shows.
Quote of Day
Well it can only be one poem. Not the whole thing though; it's surprisingly long. But just my favourite bit :-)
"The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too!"
- Clement Clarke Moore (1822)
