...fa la la la la la la la la
It has been brought to my attention that I haven't updated my blog in aaaages.
I don't really have anything to say (although I suppose I should mention that I'm back in Birmingham now, and technically on holiday, though I am in the midst of an essay on exchange and reciprocity among the Yanomamo and the Trobrianders) - so I thought I might as well share with you my newfound discovery of the fantastic adaptability of the carol "Oh Tannenbaum". Allow me to demonstrate:
#Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree, how lovely is my Christmas tree!#
[to be sung on putting up your Christmas tree]
#Oh Christmas tea, Oh Christmas tea, how lovely is my Christmas tea!#
[to be sung on drinking your Christmas tea]
#Oh Christmas pie, Oh Christmas pie, how lovely is my Christmas pie!#
[to be sung on eating your tasty mince pie]
#Oh Christmas joy, Oh Christmas joy, how lovely is my Christmas joy!#
[to be sung in anticipation of Christmas joy]
You get the picture.
Feel free to post any other pleasant variations that spring to your mind in the comments section. Let's all share the Christmas joy!
(Y'see, this is what you get when I'm wheedled into updating without having anything interesting to say. You've got no-one but Mark to blame.)

Yes, that's right. You have nobody but me to thank.
CHRISTINE!!!!!
If you are in Birmingham on holiday then you should come and visit us!!! There is no excuse AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
By the way the greetings card campaign is running at CHG this week! *yay* Send seasonal merriment to prisoners of concience to get them released!!!
Rudolph the rednosed reindeer (reindeer) had a very shiny nose (like a lightbulb) and if you ever saw it (saw it) you would even say it glows (like a lightbulb) all of the reindeer (reindeer) used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio) they never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) then one foggy christmas eve santa came to say (ho ho ho) rudolph with your nose so bright won't you guide my sleigh tonight (NO!) then all the other reindeer (reindeer) laughed and shouted out with glee (yippee!) rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer) you'll go down in history (like George Washington)
HEY! What do you mean my sining's rubbish???? No! Don't switch off the comp-
p.s. i meant singing not sining
Worry not, I'll be visiting you at some point. It almost definitely won't be before Christmas though, as I'm going away tomorrow and I won't be back till the 21st (you can blame Mark for that as well). I would have come to visit you this week but I've had an evil essay to do, and I needed all my spare time for it. Sorry! See you soon anyway, let me know how many cards you get for the GCC :)
Hugs,
