Hahahah, slutty lobster costume. If I wore it, it’d be a slutty crawfish. 😛

I love the Best Christmas Pageant Ever! I have been thinking about that book so much lately; it’s been years since I read it, and I really liked all the questions the Herdmans asked about the Christmas story. Cause damn, a barn! That’s no fun for giving birth in!

I liked Beatrix Potter (especially the Tale of Two Bad Mice), but Little Grey Rabbit was even better. One time Little Grey Rabbit gets kidnapped by evil weasels, and they force her to slave away for them until she gets rescued by Wise Owl. Very exciting stuff as you can imagine.

I love that chapter! Mr. Edwards was one of my very favorite characters in those books. He seemed so wild and exciting and YET, much like Santa Claus.

You’re right! How did I leave that one out? With the woodcuts? I wonder if I can find any online images of those beautiful woodcuts.

I’m so envious – for some reason when I was over for a year, my flatmates didn’t do anything for Bonfire Night. Maybe they were busy with papers? I can’t remember. I love sparklers, I love fireworks, and I LOVE bonfires.

I love seasonal books. When I was small, on the rare occasions that my father would let us light a fire in our fireplace during the holiday season, we would put out blankets and he would read us Rumer Godden’s The Story of Holly and Ivy. (I liked it especially because of the fire.)

I love Bonfire Night! It’s all revenge-y on Guy Fawkes after four hundred years – loves it. Revenge gives you serotonin, you know. Mad serotonin going around on Bonfire Night.

I was totally in love with Mr Edwards, the wildcat from Tennessee, when I was little!
