Pre-Christmas crazies

Christmas is possibly more fun as a spectator sport than a participant.

While I fell asleep to Nightmare Before Christmas, there has been a tightly organized baking schedule in the kitchen, secretive wrapping, errands, shopping. I decided to get out of the house and watch the crazies. Had to get hair goo, which gave me prime gawking at grocery stores. Decided to check out the hippies at Whole Foods. Very satisfying.

I spent some time cruising around observing the "decorations", including an inflatable snow globe complete with a carousel inside. Which is not as heinous as some of the tear-down/build-ups around Northern Virginia. Modernism is great, but not out of context, surrounded by Cape Cods.

on the tube: Ocean's 11.
