Christmas season is now over…
The LED candles which have been in every window of the house since mid November have finally been taken down. Their batteries are now slowly fading. The candles are nice accent pieces throughout the winter but I guess we have them to dress up the house for Christmas specifically. They'll make their triumphant return next season. Now, I guess I have no choice but to finish packing all the Christmas effects into the attic (a chore which I have been avoiding because it's too darn cold to go in there.)

Celebration Ale
Morning Edition had a great piece today on Christmas Beers. My favorite beers for this time of year are Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale or Sam Adams Winter Lager.
