That’s a first. Now this feels like a vacation. Sleeping in late, eating leftovers, watching TV, and relaxing.
- We got home after midnight; the girls got fed then (rather than 6pm) and so didn’t even inquire about breakfast until about 9am.
- We each got lots of chocolate in our stockins (hung from many chimney places with care … that’s what you get in a home with that many fireplaces)
- And so we ate our shares while watching the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas special and the next ‘X-Files’ episode, “Humbug.”
- We also made more pizza (the ‘more’ requires an explanation, but this is just a numbered summary) and while it wasn’t quite as delicious as that enjoyed on the 25th, it still fit the bill.
- We followed up quality TV time with episode of ‘Dollhouse’ and ‘Veritas,’ the second of each. Then came ‘Swordfish’ …, ah, you Joel Silver produced hot mess!
Brief aside: I have loved ‘Doctor Who’ since the 2005 reinvention … it was “Rose,” with Eccleston’s manic running, the music … just everything. And then the “Bad Wolf” revelation(s), losing Rose to a parallel universe, River Song, Matt Smith’s first episode … “The Girl in the Fireplace,” and more! I’ve watched a half dozen or more Christmas specials now, along with Easter specials and the like.
I would not say that I love “The Snowmen.”
“The Snowmen” is not about loving ‘Doctor Who’ … it’s about falling in love with ‘Doctor Who.’
