Kelly: @_@

Spike (waves hand in front of her face): You okay?

Kelly (mumbles): Three ... hours ... of ... griping ... in ... the woods.

Spike: You watch Lord o' da Rings again?

Kelly (barely shakes head, still dazed): No, the teen version.

Pearl (feeding the dogs): It couldn't be that bad. I saw th' trailers. More happens in that Potter movie 'sides walkin' through th' woods.

Kelly (sighs): It was like watching a three hour clip show. Important things happened and it is all off-camera. Instead, the characters just waltz into a dead scene and say things like, "Oh, btw, so-and-so just got his epic death scene. Pity you weren't there to watch." This isn't the silent era. You can actually show stuff now. Ever watched a black-and-white, Legosi-style Dracula movie? "Oh, look, I see a huge werewolf creeping outside in the gardens. Sucks to be us. I'm so golly gee-whiz scared." Yeah, this movie is like that. We don't get to see epicness, but, By Golly, we sure learned about how Ron resents his friendship with Harry! Because, you know, that was more important than anything else!

Pearl (chuckles): I smell sarcasm alert....

Kelly (now in full-fledged rant mode, with an American flag behind her and Spike and Pearl chuckling and humming patriotic songs): How can this movie claim this is all bigger than Harry and yet it forgoes any real plot except how it all makes Harry frowny? How can that Pink Madame Mim Wannabe still be so prim and proper after getting her behind handed to her by a bunch of angry horse people? At least Evil Blonde Man still manages to look like this whole thing is taking a lot out of him. How can a movie make you root for Snake Man and Crazy Frizzy Lady? How can a movie make you wonder if the humongous Snake is okay? How can a movie make you WANT to sic Snatchers after the Hero Trio? How can an epic ending seem so implausibly bland? *goes on to rant for another three hours before deciding to take a nap before work*

Okay...so we have a slight delay in the decorating. Now, let's get the tree up .
We all put the tree together following the directions written on the paper it came with.This takes about a half hour.

Robin:Oh!Almost forgot! he goes into his room and comes out with a small painted Christmas tree ornament I made this in Frog Scouts
Robin!That's beautiful!
everyone else marvels at it.
Robin blushes Aww thanks!
Chef:We shuld put it somewhere where yu kin see it Robin!
Grover:How about here in the front, Robin? It is high enough where you and everybody can see it and high enough where the kitty cat cannot knock it over.laughing a bit
Robin:Wow!Good idea!Thanks Grover!
Grover pats Robin on the head My pleasure.

Rosita:Si! I love it!
Well I figured you're from Mexico, Rosita,and you're from Sweden,Chef.So why just the regular English "Merry Christmas", right? And if any of you says the dragged out "right" you get stuck doing Gaffer's litterbox when it's not your turn.
Everyone sticks out their tongues
Thought so. Now,we almost forget the angel on the tree.Robin?Want to do the honors?
Robin: Okay! But I'm too short!
That's okay!Chef or Grover will help.

soft tap at my doorKathy?It is Grover. May I come in?
Hmmm? Oh sure Grover.
Grover comes in How are you feeling?
Meh...been better.Stupid seizures give me a headache. I thought I'd be rid of them by now. I was doing so well!
Grover:You think it's the excitement of the holidays?
No...I think it might be my medication.I'm going to try calling my doctor during the week.I'll see what happens.
Grover: Do you want tea or anything? Chef asked me to ask you about the tea. He has some kind of tea that begins with a "c". Some camma something?
"Chamomile"?
Grover:Yes ....that's it.
Tell Chef thanks.But I'll be okay.It's funny,but tea is supposed to make your stomach feel better. It does the opposite for me.
Grover:Really? That is strange. Well,if you need anything,let us know. Um,this may be a silly question,but you did take something for your headache didn't you?
Yes..a few hours ago. I need to wait another 4 hours.
Grover:Okay...just checking. See you later.
Thanks for checking on me Grover. Tell Robin before he goes to bed,he can come kiss me goodnight.
Grover:Will do.

Later that night
Robin: Hi Mom! How are you feeling?
Better thanks. How was school?
Robin: Fine.I have something for you,but you gotta close your eyes. I have a surprise
Is this a nice kind of surprise that I have to close eyes for like a painting you did?Or a surprise like gooky slime that came out of one of those machines and you're going to squoosh it in my hand ?
Robin laughs at the last one No..it's nice. Frog scout promise.
I can't see you doing the Frog scout promise with your fingers.
Robin:Then just believe me. Please?
(How can I resist?) OK..I believe you.
I hear Robin unrolling something Robin:Okay...open your eyes!
I look and see Robin drew a picture of him and me on a BIG piece of paper. We're standing on the beach and holding hands.(Well, actually it's his flipper,but let's not get technical. )
Oh Robin! That's beautiful! I love it! Thank you honey!I give Robin a gigantic hug
Robinhugging me back You're welcome. You really like it?
I sure do! getting misty eyed
Robin suddenly looking worried They why do you look like you're gonna cry?
I laugh Because ladies like us are silly. Sometimes we cry when we're happy.I'm fine Robin...I promise.I just love you so much.That's probably why I had tears in my eyes.Thanks so much for this picture! You're a very artistic young man,you know that?
Robin: Thank you.I tried to make it look like you. I think I made too many fingers though.
looking closely I don't notice too many fingers. Five on each hand. That's just the right amount.
Robin:Okay. Can I have some hot cocoa.It's not too near my bedtime.
Sure. And I think I'll join you. I'm chilly.

*Humming and adding some decorations to the tree.

UD: You're in a good mood.
Me: Yep, Mom got back about an hour ago. And my second brother's on his way, being picked up by my other brother.
UD: That's good. *Skulks off to deliver some ornaments to Kathy's apartment.

Me, singing...
On the sixth night of December, my good fiends gave to me...
Six mystic mirrors.
*Hangs a shiny mirror with a demonlike headpiece/hanging hook.
Five lucky charms!
*Adds a five-leafed black shamrock by means of its loop.
Four wheels of fortune.
*Places the mini spinning roulette wheel near the front so it can be spun freely by whoever's near the tree or looking it over.
Three life-lines.
*Drapes three separate streams of tinsel trailing down from on high.
Two passion potions.
And a hexstar on my spooky little tree.

*UD leaves the ornaments of Chef as the Christmas baker and another of Gaffer curled up atop the holly-leafed mantel with Rosita before heading back down to the ground floor.
