Welp, elections are happening in Spain. I told my daughter, who is Spanish, I’d help her figure out how to vote from the US where she is studying, and thought I’d have Christmas to figure it out with her. But not now. If anyone has advice, let me know.

This has become one of my family’s favorite Christmas movies. I highly recommend it. Two thumbs up, five stars I have not read this article but I can only imagine they agree with me.

It’s news like this that makes me thankful for people like @bobstevenson.bsky.social and @tylerhuckabee.bsky.social who are pushing back against and demonstrating the way of Jesus.

Reading about the propagandists of the Spanish Civil War and “Masonic SuperState” would be a really good band name.

Halfway through Christmas cookie baking and a transformer blew and now the house is dark and the cookies are not cooking. The kids are happy because now we are eating out.

My youngest planted and has been growing oak saplings. She has four of them. She is gone on a school trip and there is a starling that keeps uprooting one of them. I chase it off and replant it. I am currently feuding with a starling.

So San Isidro is coming and that means that rosquillas de San Isidro are out in the supermarkets. I am once again reminded that San Isidro was a terrible baker.

My goal in life is that, if i ever hang out with a frail 88-year-old man on the last day of his life, people’s first reaction isn’t “what a terrible last day. of course she killed him”

My two oldest are at camp so the youngest has decided she is going to plan a party so we can ring in the new year. She got up at 8:30 and started cleaning the living room. This is going to be epic.

My middle child has been telling his little sister that if she over feeds the Caga Tío he will get constipated and she won’t get any presents. Which is mean but also pretty funny.

So a couple of weeks ago, someone (I think it was @tylerhuckabee.bsky.social) suggested a jazz album. It was really good. Now I can’t find the song, nor can I find where I read about it. It was an álbum of one song about 30 minutes long. Does anyone else remember this?
