Zu Zu's Petals

I just read that next Monday (Dec 3rd) on Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo the actor in question will be John Cusack. And I think I have made my Lloyd Dobler fixation clear in the past. As if that were not awesome enough, Dec 17th will have...Johnny Depp. Lord have mercy, Santa is bring the John's this year!

We saw What Would Jesus Buy? this weekend and it was awesome. Kidlet and I have decided to opt out of the commercial festivities this year. We are going to donate our present cash to Nothing But Nets. My parents are donating their present money to Smile Train the charity that funds Cleft Palate reconstruction surgeries in South America. We can buy and do buy CD's whenever we want to so why the need to spend spend spend just because the calendar says 12/25? Even if you don't buy into the whole Christianity bit, you can't deny that the message attributed to Jesus himself, that being peace, is a great one. It's not the Lord's fault his followers can be annoying ;)

So this year we are going to do a yummy dinner, enjoy the tree and the lights and watching It's A Wonderful Life and NOT have it be about what we "GOT" but more about what we have. Novel concept =)
