Have A Blessed Christmas!

We had a splendid Christmas Eve last night!

Mainly – I survived!! Yay! Although, I did go up to my bed at 8PM, intending to watch some Christmas stuff on Amazon Prime for a few quiet moments, but what I actually did was fell dead asleep, immediately.

I picked up my final houseguest yesterday afternoon, and then helped them run some last minute errands. They wanted to “quickly run in ” to Walmart!!

ME: “Are you crazy???? It’s Christmas Eve!! It’s going to be a zoo!! Why don’t we just run into the Dollar Store near my house?”

THEM: “We can’t afford the Dollar Store! It’s too expensive!”

(Interesting statement, isn’t it? If you really look at it.)

Anyway, off to Walmart we went, on Christmas Eve afternoon…

I waited in the car in the quite full parking lot, while they shopped for last minute snacks, cat food, etc. As everyone knows, I am absolutely opposed to the sheer existence of Walmart, so that’s why I didn’t go in. And as they scrambled out of the car, I emphatically made the sign of the cross with my fingers, to keep all the Walmart human-trafficking-demon spirits away from all of us…

Anyway! They made it out unscathed. And I swear to you, the backseat was full, the hatchback was full! Enough beer, wine, snacks, and actual food that will be part of Christmas dinner was practically overflowing from the car, even though the refrigerator at home, and the kitchen table, were already overflowing with stuff for Christmas.

And then, halfway home, I said: “Oh shit!! I’ve been so focused on Christmas Dinner, that I don’t have anything to make for us for dinner tonight!!!”

It was too funny. But I managed to pull together an (organic) frozen pizza from my freezer. made some (organic) linguine with (organic) pesto rosso that I had in the cupboard, which were not yet past their expiration date, and God knows, there was plenty of wine and beer on hand for my guests… So, honestly, it actually turned out simple but amazing.

And then, very quietly, I said to Michael: “I was thinking I wanted to go take a quick walk and look at all the Christmas decorations, because I haven’t had time to see any yet. Do you want to come with me? Just a quick walk around the block?”

Well, not only did he say “yes,” but then everybody said yes and so off we went! And it was so fun. but that quick walk around the block turned into a one-hour walk, wherein we checked out the Christmas lights of practically every house in the entire village!!

They, of course, were buzzing and I was completely sober, but we laughed a lot and had so much fun. However, loyal readers of this lofty blog know that, nowadays, I have some problems with my legs, so I was quietly thinking: holy shit, what have I gotten myself into?— when we weren’t even half-way done with our quick walk.

But I hung in there and we really did have a great time.

And they were up all night in the kitchen, drinking, smoking, cooking — getting things ready for tonight’s dinner. (And, btw, my cheesecake looks perfect. Here’s hoping it will taste perfect!)

And I quietly came downstairs to the kitchen at my usual 5:30AM, to feed my many cats and also myself, and put a pot of coffee on — and all their dishes and pots and pans were washed and put away. And little Christmas nightlights had been left on, which made the kitchen look so peaceful in the dark.

And Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors was sitting on the kitchen counter, looking out the window at the bright moon shining down through a mist on the dark yard… Kon Tiki usually likes to be outside all night, but she really gets along with my houseguests, so obviously, she had come inside to hang out with them while they were cooking, and I found that so sweet.

So, today is all about getting the rest of the food ready and setting the table for Christmas dinner and then, of course, sitting down to eat. I will probably have a thimble-full of wine and maybe a drop of cognac with dessert, but I’m doubtful that I can even handle that, but we’ll see!!

Okay, regarding the “news”–

The situation between Phil and Nick at Good Lion Films got really out of hand yesterday. Just unbelievable. Like a pack of wolves, really. I did end up leaving the Good Lion telegram channel, primarily because a lot of the posts there go off in directions that don’t appeal to me anyway. But I gave it a lot of thought, and I perused the Good Lion Films & TV app again this morning, and I decided that I want to keep it. At least for a while. I really do value the documentaries that Good Lion has made over the years.

Regarding Total Disclosure’s claims that Nick “steals everything”, well, I just don’t know. He is always upfront about saying that his work is gathered from sources that are all over the Internet, or based on books, or the research that is also done by other people. So, for now, I’m keeping my account.

So we’ll see.

And this was posted by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s people — a downloadable pdf with his Defense’s official press release.

Very interesting — the “charges” he’s being held in prison over. Is this a psy-op, or what?? Amazing that they are keeping him in prison over stuff like this.

You can read or download the pdf here.

And the closing remarks this morning from Reiner’s team:

“Many thanks to all donators, many thanks to all people who continue to trust in Reiner and many thanks to all those who continue to stand tall and still fight for truth and justice. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year that will hopefully bring the changes we have all been fighting for so long. Thank you for standing with us.

Gisela, on behalf of Reiner and the whole ICIC-Team. ❤️🙏”

In closing news —

Nick Cave sent out a very entertaining Red Hand File this morning, wherein he answered many questions with a single “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know”.

For instance:

“I’ve just seen a clip of Pink (the acclaimed singer) flying over her audience on wires, performing many acrobatic moves? Have you ever thought of doing such a thing during a Bad Seeds concert?

No.”

And also this:

“What’s the point of living if free will is an illusion?

I don’t know.”

And there was also this — and no (!!), I was not the woman who asked this question!! Everyone knows that I am way, way, way past menopause…

“Will you come and live with me in my house in the woods so I can have your babies?

No.”
