Two Videos

Pictures of Gingerbread Decorating Action coming soon. Till then, two videos. We just watched tonight this awesome 50s teledrama, The Answer, starring David Niven. Features the great line, "Let x=world peace. Solve for x." Carolyn Jones also has a brief fun part.







The other comes from realizing that my favorite fun Christmas song had no YouTube video. Found this copyright free old Disney clip, and cut it down to fit the song. Check out the Klezmonauts at Amazon - fun group. Give it a try and you'll watch mit groise fargenign.




Hope that's a treat; 'tis the season.

Merry Christmas!

Well, we're officially giving up on the Christmas Card this year.  We'll get some kind of mailing out... in 2011.  The kids had a cute idea which we turned into a glog that you can see at the end of the post.

The holiday season kicked off with Xavi's Market Day.  (Link goes to his blog for the full business report and more pictures.)  As he and Karen slaved over delicious chocolates, Bela and I headed to Desserts by Design for some gingerbread construction.











We got a chance for an extended Audrey visit.  She was huffing and puffing, rocking and rolling, and was five star enetertainment until she passed out. 

 We had a quick visit to the other side of the state, but got in lots of visits thanks to Aunt Peg hosting the Meyer family Christmas party, with 4 generations of family.  Traditional caroling had some new spins this year.

Aunt Peg, Karen's goddaughter Julie (up from Atlanta and on her birthday) and Aunt Mary.



Xavi also took the opportunity to document for his friend Cam that his grandfather knows a thing or two about cars.












From there we headed on to Monroe, for a nice visit with Carmen.  We took some pictures down in the cutely decorated Loranger Square, and Bela posed in front of the Monroe County Courthouse, where generations of Goldens have practiced law.   Is that her fate?







We even got a rare picture of Karen and I together! 



The glog is a kind of internet poster.  Click to go to the poster directly.  Click and hold on a picture to enlarge it.  Some pictures are links to other sites or blogposts.  You can pause the music if it's at all annoying!  The scripture is what Karen's bible study has been on, so we've been talking about it as a family also.

Merry Christmas!



May your Christmas be joyful!

Once again, we have a postal miracle and actually sent Christmas cards this year, of the e- and non e- variety. Ysabela references a couple movies they made, and those are here:
Humans are High in Fiber
Care and Feeding of Dragons

Xavier says: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Bela is not ready for comment.

Neither is ready to talk about presents yet. John got cool superhero tees, a Dr. Who DVD set, the RENT DVD, an unowned Calvin and Hobbes book and they came wrapped in handmade Tick bags. Karen is also not ready for comment. Makes it sound mysterious. If only they hadn't opened the monkey's paw...

Just kidding, no monkeys. See below, totally innocent:
