I want to thank everyone who left condolecenses in my previous post. They were very, very much appreciated. I have not yet had the time to reply to them all, but I do plan to.
The house still feels empty, and way too large, now that my mother is gone. I've been going through papers (important for probate, etc.) and some closets - some of which have unopened sheets dating back to the 60s. The Mad Men set decorators would have a stroke looking at all the old stuff in this house! I found a heating pad cover from the 60s/70s, with this 'flower power' green power design. Very retro.
I got up two Christmas trees - tiny ones. Alas, the Dalek remains undecorated this year. Hopefully next year. Here's just a sampling of some of the decorations. I need to find mini-Dalek globes. Alas, the Godzilla ornaments are too big/heavy for the Christmas tree, which is one of those tiny table-top varities.
On the good side, the two Stargate Atlantis (one's a Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 crossover) novels I ordered from Fandemonium arrived! I just may take a break from cleaning/probate stuff and read a book!

Date: 2011-12-31 09:01 am (UTC)That'll be a cheaper way to do it ;) I have people seen doing it and it looks great. There are also pictures in the net where lifesized Daleks have been dressed as Christmas trees, all with blinking lights and such...
Here is a link where you can see the new Stargate ornament. If you scroll down, there also is a video where you can play the sound it makes.

I wonder if anyone bought it and whether there will be more next year or not. My friend suggested, that first they made one of the team and now intend to give each one a single one as well. But replicators? Really?
