I myself am a little overwhelmed with the magnitude of Christmas this year, so with thanksgiving for the wonderful folks who took time to do such thorough roundups over the weekend, here's a meme! I've got several blogs written in my mind, but trying to distill them into anything coherent seems beyond me for the moment.
