In Russia it's about drowning your misery not at staying warm. Little known fact Russians are required to kill a bear at age 3 in order to stay warm. Those that don't are sent off to Siberia.

Oh my gosh Brian, that is actually hilarious because my husband is Northern European (Czech) and his dad (Lithuanian) used to tell them all the time about how he was out hunting bears when he was 4 years old!

My sister married a french man and brought me some vin chaud last year from France…

Wish it would snow here! I was really looking forward to a white Christmas. This unnatural warmth is making my skin crawl--I am a Buffalonian born and bred, after all, and usually by this time we're up to our ears in lake effect snow.
In other news, I'm done with finals, yay! Now to cross my fingers and wait for my grades to be posted...

Yeah i mostly just added stuff that seemed pleasant to drink. However this recipe The Old Bear’s Hot Spiced Wine | Inn at the Crossroads is very similar, so you can follow the proportions on that. It is very simple to make. Just stir the wine till its warm and add the rest.
Good luck!

Join the christmas fun!
And at least there's a good chance that you'll have a white christmas. Here in the southern netherlands we can prepare for icy cold weather and rain, because father Winter wants us to freeze to death.

Thanks! I could do with some eggnog and a good shot of holiday spirit. (Maybe a shot of rum in the eggnog, too...)

One more day of school left and then it's winter break! I am so excited! (I'm the teacher.)

Half of the gifts I mailed out to my friends have arrived at their destinations! ^^ Anxiously waiting for the other half.

I guess one of the local theaters here, which has two wings with at least 5 separate projection rooms, if not more, to each wing, is showing Star Wars in every room and is sold out for some days to come.
They even open at 9:00 A.M..
Wow.

35 hours later, with only 3 hours of sleep, the final is done. No more school until the new year.

Whoo! I got back my history final paper, and I got an A! My professor really liked it! The only critique he had was basically, "Could have used some expansion. Also, your indents are bad and you should feel bad."
Kinda forgot the indents. I did proofread it at eleven at night, after all. :rolleyes2:

So you got an A+.

Few things feel better than seeing a friend's ecstatic reaction to a gift. Especially one that's handmade and took you months to finish.
27 seasons can't be wrong. I stand corrected.

Occasionally I come across a word I've never seen and I like to jot it down.
Today's word is phantasmagoria.

Oh, yeah. Great word, even though it doesn't really sound like what it means.
I recently learned the word caliginous.

Star Wars special features on Google! I joined the Dark Side, naturally...To anyone who hasn't tried it yet, it's pretty cool!
