I'm thinking about changing to another blogging platform.  Blogspirit drives me crazy sometimes!  And since they are a French company, their support is not very clear.  I've narrowed my choices down to two--Wordpress or Typepad.  I would appreciate if anyone with either of these platforms could tell me the pros and cons. Keep in mind I am somewhat techno-illiterate.

TIA

 I saw Ted Danson on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and it occurred to me-------

Is it just me, or is there a rather uncanny resemblance? All Ted needs is a unibrow.

Sadly, I just learned today that Peter Boyle passed away. Am I the only one here to be surprised that none other than John Lennon was best man at Peter Boyle's wedding? Or that he was once a monk.  Here's to a long(ish) and interesting life.

Holy crap,

Christmas meme

1. Hot Chocolate or Apple Cider?  Well, duh, hot chocolate (or cold chocolate or melty chocolate-That's right, I said melty)

2. Turkey or Ham?  Turkey.  Ham is kinda grody.

3. Real or fake tree?  Fake!  We even went prelit this year.  We are an allergic and asthmatic people.  A real tree in the house would turn Christmas into The Season for the Wheezin and Sneezin'

4.  Decorations outside  your house?  Need you ask, gentle reader?

5.   Snowball fights or sledding? Ha!  I suppose the kids could throw wads of cut grass at each other as I mow with my mulching mower.  Do grass ball fights count?

6.  Do you enjoy going down town Christmas shopping?  I'm not a shopper.  If I can't order it online or make it (with materials ordered online) you ain't getting it.

7.  Favorite Christmas Song?   I also partial to Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC.  Nothing  quite says yule cheer like old school rap.

8.  How Do You Feel About Christmas Movies?  I love, love , love them.  We watched Ralphie not shoot his eye out just tonight.  I also watch Christmas Vacation, Little Women, Love Actually, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol....I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

9. When is it to early to listen to Christmas music?  Before Thanksgiving.

10.  Stockings before or after presents?  We do it all at once.

11.   Do you enjoy carolers?  I love carolers and caroling.  Not many people are crazy about my caroling, however.

12.  Do you go to someone else's house or do they come to you?  We go to my parent's house.  They live across the street.

13.  Do you read the Christmas story? If so, when?  Bill always reads Luke 2 to the children on Christmas Eve.

14.  What do you do after presents and dinner?  Nap, if we are lucky. The children are not so keen on napping, though.

15.   What's your favorite holiday smell?  My mama's kitchen.

16.  Ice skating or walking around the mall?  Neither.  The former could lead to broke bones, the latter to broken Christmas spirit,

17.  Favorite Christmas Memory.  Being hugely pregnant and being 8 days late with my oldest, Katherine.  (Come to think of it that was the last Christmas I was able to nap).  She was born on the 28th and is my greatest Christmas present ever!

18.  Open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas day?  Both

19.  Favorite part about winter.  What is this thing you call winter?  Here, in the South Carolina Lowcountry,  our seasons are as follows: Summer, Still Summer, Christmas, Summer

20.  Every been kissed under the mistletoe?  Not to my recollection.

If you're feeling up to it just tag yourself!

Ho Ho Ho, (or as Larry The Cable Guy would say, "Lady of the night, lady of the night, lady of the night.")
