Mr. Claus has been very very good to us this year. I remember listening to this adaptation of The Lord of the Rings - I must have only been 10. I was given the cassette version for my 21st (the only thing I really remember specifically asking for - in a lush black box, each cassette with a gold inlay - just beautiful). [livejournal.com profile] e_w_h  remembers when we were first married falling asleep listening to the tapes. What I especially like about this new version is the last CD which contains all the music. In the adaptation much of this music is cut by dialogue and fades in and out (as is right and proper) but its a joy to actually listen to it. Truly beautiful.

And yes, I can sing a lot of them because I listened to them so many times. I still think my favorite is Gil-Galad.

Christmas is good, full of family, life, noise and laughter. We weren't woken too early, and the brainwave of leaving our presents to the kids in their bedrooms for when they woke up garnered us about an hour of much needed sleep.

The dollshouse looks fab. When I can get the camera to stop crashing the laptop, I will post a picture. Now I'm off to incinerate a turkey and a ham.
