*Extra enjoys everyone's holiday pics* I know I shared these ones in the general thread but it felt like they needed to be here as well, (-8 Plus I added a guide to one of them for no reason... ...and one with a guide to cool stuff, (-8

I've never had singing lights. We did have these neat bubbling candle lights from the 60s or 70s that looked delightful but got waaaay to hot and.. *googles...* oh my, more health warnings than good memories. "if one breaks, evacuate the room until..." OMG, how did I survive up until now! We had those too at one point. We broke one and it forever stained the linoleum floor in the dining room where we would put the tree up. I don't think they were quite as bad in the 90s though. They did get terribly hot though. The singing lights were attached to a little music box that played various Christmas tunes and the lights would flash depending on which song was playing. I loved those things.

Oh, singing lights sound fun, (-8 I might keep my eyes out for some on sale after the holiday.
...and oh my gosh, earl grey cookies sound delightful! I made earl grey ice cream once and I can imagine them pairing quite nicely, (-8

Overnight the Fake Santa goblin caused chaotic decorative havoc around Hanashima!
"Nyah ha ho ho!"
With the Santa Regalia he was able to disappear in an eyeblink and thus far was unable to be caught!((We're having a late start. I had insomnia and was up most of the night.))

They're super delicious! She crushed up the tea leaves a little more and just mixed it right into the dough. That makes them somewhat healthy, right? It's fiber! xD

Oh yes it does, (-8 I used to make bread with tea instead of water and add strong flavoured tea leaves right into the dough and it was subtlety delicious, (-8 (I used to do orange spice and jasmine... both always came out so nice!)

No problem on the late start. I will be home shortly. Our elderly neighbor needed groceries so I ducked out to grab them for her.

Mr. Pooka is heading off to take a quick shower, then when he's back we'll resolve the cake/lights contest. ^_^ Then after that we'll see if we can track down Fake Santa.

Sang and I are home now. Whoo. Elderly neighbor now has her groceries so now she can relax about them. Sang put them all away while I made sure she took her change instead of trying to sliup it into his bag while he was distracted

Super nice of you guys to do that for her, and I'm sure she appreciates it.
