Christmasing

Ah, buggrit, Amazon seems to feel today that I do not need to use the search function, because it knows exactly what I want. Amazon is wrong. Today I’m looking for a couple of entirely new things—the first, obscenely expensive season Star Trek TOS from all of us kids to Dad, and a yet-unrevealed Mystery Item for my brother,* which the store I was damn sure it was at does not carry.
If this keeps up I may go off to Barnes and Noble to get it, despite their failure to use the word “Christmas” enough.
Anyway! I’ve got half the dolls changed into X-mas gear, including Laurel, whose dress surrendered after a valiant fight.** We’ve got a good spot for their puny tree. Now I just need to get some fairy lights for the room, and things will be all set!
*My brother has been known to read this blog, but Dad never does.
**The surrender was not unconditional. I had to concede the sleeves.

She's got a card for the people who are helping her to sign. It says "To go where no man has gone before."
I ended up thinking about it, then bursting into distressed laughter and saying something along the lines of "DAMMIT NOW I CAN NEVER WATCH TOS AGAIN AND STAY UNSCARRED BECAUSE I REALLY JUST DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT WILLIAM SHATNER ON THE TOILET."
