And to all, the merriest!

Okay, so not feeling 100%. Friday night I ditched the fam after dessert and fled home and was just unwell for, like, ever. Not sure if it was the Period of Death, the rich food (IT WAS THE FUCKING FROMAGE!), or just... everything together, but... agh. Went to sleep around 3 and woke up late and the day was just a waste. I spent most of it doing my new "thing", which is writing the recipes I've been collecting on the backs of postcards I've been collecting. And throwing a lot of stuff out.

( This is more for me than for you, but read it if you like. )

The rest of the lyrics to "The Merriest", FYT. Rediscovered this on a Verve CD and it's one of my favorite Christmas songs. Check it out on iTunes- the remix with June Christie is aces:

Merry Christmas!

I'd like to fix this bag of tricks
and hand it out with a fleeting greeting:

Smiles for the frowners
Salutes to the uppers
Boosts for the downers
May the day be the bowl of cherriest
And to all, the Merriest!

Hope you swing during the season
Hope your days go great 
Hope you find plenty of reasons all year long to celebrate

Sun for the mopers
A laugh for the criers
Luck for the hopers
To the strange and the ordinariest
Me to you, the Merriest!

Thoughts for the musers
A cheer for the winners
Breaks for the losers
To the beats and the debonariest
Greetings like the Merriest!

Hope there's oil under your rosevine
Hope you get that raise
Hope you hope everything goes fine
the next 300 and some odd days

Friends for the loners
A Song for the singers
Grins for the groaners
make the day the nothing can compariest
have the most, the merriest!
