From Dec 4-Dec 24 I'll do a daily #Christmas post.
Day 8. This photo is six years old now. This is my grandmother and I posing with her Christmas village. She turned 100 this past August, and still lives in her own home. My sister has the village now; she sets it up for my young nephews to enjoy.

Day 6. This was taken Xmas Eve 1944 in the mess hall of the HMCS Drumheller somewhere in the North Atlantic. My grandfather at 19 is the third man from the left. The men (boys, really) were issued a couple of beers each to celebrate the holiday.

This is the final episode of Season One of the free #audiodrama I've been posting since Labour Day. It's a bonus ep offering some historical notes, acknowledgments, and recommendations for further content for people who want to know more about what they have heard so far.

Day 3? A mouse drummerboy candlestick set bought for Xmas 1982. I was born Dec 8th, so no one lit it with all the commotion of a newborn in the house. That's still the original candle. I had to warn my now-wife not to use it and break the streak.

Day Two? I made this angel and christmas tree out of construction paper, glue, & a blue pen in the Second Grade. They've been ornaments on my Christmas trees ever since. The brown spot on the angel is a burn mark from an old-style tree light bulb.

This week's episode of my #audiodrama is based on the final chapter and outro of my novel Beginning. Next week there will be historical notes and acknowledgments, but in terms of the narrative of the story, this concludes Season One of The Tape Recorder Trilogy #Podcast.

Post something random or you'll have an awful December.
(I'm mostly doing this because @williamhperkins.bsky.social's post was related to Commander Keen, a side-scrolling computer game I dearly loved as a kid.)

Well, they definitely have them in stock. Is this joke I will need to remind her about on Christmas morning and only I will find funny worth $8-$25? Probably not...

I came across this earlier today, and I have been chewing on it ever since. I agree with its sentiments completely, and it is such an apt and incredible analogy, I'm amazed I haven't heard it before in some other capacity. Anyway, I thought if it has impressed me this much, I better share it. Enjoy!
