Happy December everyone!

We had our first snow here this week, just a sprinkling.

And here are a few pictures from an annual winter lights event my sister and I went to - it's always so pretty.

Happy December. We've watch 2 of the 3 new Dr. Who's with David Tennant. He was our favorite doctor, and apparently most people's. The reviews have been great. He's the 14th doctor, and Donna, his old traveling mate, ask him why he had the same body twice. He said he didn't know, but the acknowledged how he came to look as he had before. I guess there's one more special with him and Donna before they introduce the next doctor. We stopped watch when Matt Smith became the doctor. Tried a few with Jody Whitaker, but couldn't get into them. Then we lost the channel where we got Dr. Who. These are on Disney, and I think Disney may own the Dr. Who franchise, now. Don't know. Anyway, it was a nice way to start December.

From what I understand, Disney acquired the rights, and now really wants to push Dr. Who as another "Marvel"-type universe with lots of various characters. I suppose the upside to this is that they'll be pouring lots of money into the budgets.

I saw a trailer for the new episodes with David Tennant and was wondering what was going on! He was definitely a popular one.

I thought it was something like that. I think Dr. Who lost its loyal following, and they're trying to get it back. I just hope Disney does the right things to reboot the series. The Star Wars shows did go anywhere, so not every Disney decision is a good one.

Just briefly, they switched the hours back to the ten-hour shift at work, so if you don't see me, don't worry- I just get home, do chores and have to go to bed without much time for myself. I'll check in sporadically.

I hope you earn a lot of money, and despite you home situation, have a great holiday.

That's a full-on work schedule - it'll be good to see you when you have some downtime, but I appreciate there won't be much of that for now. Hope it's all going okay.

A couple of Santas I've seen this year, and a tree - the balloon Santa was quite original! (I've snapped these as I've been walking along, so apologies for lack of artistic framing!)

It's interesting how much things have changed over the years. I have seen some interesting ones, but we're always going by them in the car, so I can't get a picture.

A few photos of my house this year! (Of course it's not, but I do like the advent calendar windows!)

I should go out and take pictures tonight as it's not too cold. We have to really pretty decorations in the hood I'll try to the pictures of some of them, but I'm not out at night, and they're not only during the day. One house has a light tree, just streamers of light in the general shape of a tree, and that's still lighted when we go to walk in the morning, when it's still dark. We can see it at the end of the street when we turn on to that street, and it's so welcoming.

Those grand houses do put on a bash, don't they

[Bean]

I'd love to see some pictures if you can easily get some.

This house always does a Christmas theme, and indoors this year wasn't the greatest, but it was still fun to look around.

[3piggles]

I just need to go out and get them. Been too lazy

[3piggles]

Trees on my street.

[Bean]

Lovely, I can imagine all those lights make for a fun hoof of the hood! The lights that cascade down look great, you don't often see them like that.

Happy Christmas to everyone celebrating - hope the holidays bring relaxation or fun, or whatever it is you're hoping for!

Merry Christmas, everyone
