Shimmer's fabulous art director, Mary Robinette Kowal, has set up a wordsearch using words from the Autumn issue. Check it out!
Then I found out that a friend of mine is listening to Christmas music. Already. It's not enough that Christmas is inescapable from November 1 on? It's not enough that some stores already have Christmas merchandise up, even if they haven't switched over to the Christmas muzak yet, or put up the giant animatronic reindeer that sings "Jingle Bells" every time you walk by?
It's just a matter of time. Christmas will be here soon enough, and then all you Christmas-music lovers can just wallow in it full-time.
In my family, when we all get together (which isn't very often), we do a traditional Polish Christmas. Christmas Eve, there's a traditional meal, served when the first star comes out; there's a ceremony where we go around and wish each other well; there's lots and lots and lots of good food.
And there's Christmas music. We've got a CD or two of Polish Christmas carols - they're lovely, really, the first several hundred times you hear them. It doesn't take as long as you might think to hear a song a hundred times - just put the CD player on endless eternal repeat, crank up the volume, and settle back to enjoy your holidays.
Christmas music. I feel so betrayed to learn that this friend has such unspeakable interests.

Betrayed!!??
That's pretty harsh. That is not very cool at all. You'll understand someday. I'll send you a christmas bouqet of candy canes and christmas music that you'll love.
Money back guarantee!
Chestnuts rooooooooasting on an open fiiiIiIiIiIIIIIire!!!
I wish there were more Halloween songs to sing. Bah.
That's just wrong.
Paul, get ye to the Nightmare Before Christmas cd and sing along. Speaking of, did you know that they are doing a 3D version of Nightmare Before Christmas?
