Day 20,398 Krampus mug. Now I really would like some hot chocolate. Preferably with a peppermint peep melted at the top.

Our book club’s classic (or ought to be) assignment that I’m currently reading is Lord Dunsany’s “Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow Valley” Has anyone reading this post read the book? I would like to ask them a question or two, especially if they have knowledge of Spain’s history. I’d never heard of it before last week, and I’m enjoying it thus far, but I am only about 10% along. From the preface:
“After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period; but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element of mystery, arising partly out of ignorance and partly from the compulsion of those oaths by which magic protects its precincts from the tiptoe of curiosity. Moreover, magic, even in small quantities, appears to affect time, much as acids affect some metals, curiously changing its substance, until dates seem to melt into a mercurial form that renders them elusive even to the eye of the most watchful historian. It is the magic appearing in Chronicles III and IV that has gravely affected the date, so that all I can tell the reader with certainty of the period is that it fell in the later years of the Golden Age in Spain. “

Day 20,397 (or doodle day seven, by the latest challenge list) A new bagel shop opened recently, just in time for the in-laws’ return to our neck of the woods for Yuletide! I got one of my favorites, a salt bagel with egg and cheese, so I am full and set for a bit. I hope you all dodged the switches and Krampus’s sack a few days ago. Unless you like that sort of thing.

I am entertained by the premise that the TV show *Ghosts* (and *Ghosts UK*) is actually about a woman who has a near-fatal head injury and begins hallucinating supernatural events around her, and her husband, who is just doing his best to be helpful and supportive. Hilarity ensues. #ghosts #ghostsuk #tv

A large, rooftop Dr. Pepper sign in the shape of a bottlecap, held upright by a metal skeletal structure. In the background are the sky with colorful clouds and a mountain ridge with a notch in it. The leaves are changing colors on the mountain. This sign overlooks the downtown of my fair city, Roanoke, Virginia.

Oh, Christmas Three, the third day of Advent. The number three was shamelessly stolen from a Sesame Street font.

Day 20,391
How it feels when I step outside, after Mrs. Bear has been at our thermostat. From the extra hades warm, to the sweet icy blue. We had a delightful little wintery mix with snow (that didn’t stick) today.
