Getting Ready for Dad & Step Mom

Why am I happy today? Because I get to go to the airport in about an hour and pick up my dad and step mom for the holidays.

Yesterday, I was running around trying to clean the house (not that it was dirty – because I’ve been here, gone, here, gone for the last month – but you know how it is… that last little polish!), organize a few things and figure out what we’re having for dinner.

The problem is that as of tomorrow, the stores are all going to be closed through the 25th. That means that while I do have some food, I will have to take them grocery shopping with me at some point today. Mostly because I can’t carry back a lot of the food on my own and can use the extra hands.

Otherwise, I’m looking forward to seeing the sites, seeing them, and just showing them a bit of my world here in Europe. I’m sure there will be tons of pics as the next two weeks progresses – I’ll do my best to post and add to the blog between now and then.

Christmas comes but once a year…

Ugh. I’m tired. Christmas comes but once a year – tra-la-la la la…

After spending Saturday and today in Dresden, (and going to the Christmas markets) I’m beat and going to bed. But before I do, I wanted to help bring out part of your holiday mood. Oh – and as you watch this – realize that the animation was hand done – because this was from when Betty Boop was popular (actually “santa” is the grandpa from Betty Boop series) – and notice the spectactular 3d type animations – PRE modern COMPUTER.
