Christmas Eve - Dinner of the Seven Fishes
It's Christmas Eve night and after a hectic day of preparation for the Big Day tomorrow, I finally have a few minutes to relax. I'll be making a turkey with traditional American-style side dishes and pumpkin pie tomorrow. But it...

The Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children...

Ultimate Christmas
An excellent holiday collection leaning toward standards and the gospel-R&B end of the spectrum is Ultimate Christmas. Out of 17 songs only two really don't work and unfortunately one of them leads off the disc: Boyz ll Men turn in...

Christmas is expensive but I'm loving it
What Christmas really costs. And it's gone up this year, even. In our house, the stockings aren't hung by the chimney with care - they're too full of stuff and it would interfere with my mother's annual Christmas theme. Readers...

Operatica - Christmas Classics
I'm a sucker for lush electronica, reveling in waves and sweeps of organically inorganic sound, sonic colors alien but not unwelcome to nature. The operatic electronica of Operatica (get it?) offers a fascinating and generally satisfying backdrop for traditional Christmas...

The Christmas Secret
Well, it's Christmas Eve. After the build-up and the shopping and the parties, we're down to it. Tomorrow is the Big Day™. Of course, we still haven't finished shopping (duh), but there's no sense of urgency. The kids and I...

You will rue this day as you drool and mumble incoherently about "prefessional site design" in the corner of your padded cell.
LOL Craig!
Yeah, the design of this site is just terrible, isn't it? I think I'll ban anybody's IP from this blog that comes to my blog and disagrees with me about it in the comments section.
I'll also remove all the posts and act like it never happened and threaten lawsuits for others who comment on their blogs about it.
The web can be a wild place :)
In the defense of the unnamed, the new shade of green is much lighter than the last choice. Then again, the last one was only there for about two days.
Phillip - I think the new shade of green makes me hungry for Mint Choclate Chip ice cream LOL I'm going to get fatter reading Blogcritics ... darn you and your holiday spirit ;)
Damnit Phillip, I thought we talked about the colors of the site a few times before!!
(I know. Grey Tuesday. I must beat every joke into the ground)
Wow, Craig. You actually found this old post to bring this up again? I'm impressed, truly.
And people reading this in the future, say, tomorrow, will have no idea what we're talking about. They won't appreciate they complete "greyness" of today. Even the Blogcritics logo, even the "Straight Up" header, all of it. I should take a screen cap!
Nah, let 'em wonder. :-)
As Richard Thompson said in his classic 'Taliban's eye view of Western culture' song "Inside of the Outside," grey is the color of the pious

Eric what's with the site colors. They seem all crazy and I don't get it. I mean why Red and Green? What could possibly be the purpose of changing the colors to Red and Green? I think I am going to go do a post on my site about how ugly it is. Please don't attack me for my ignorance though. It isn't my fault.
