The meaning of Christmas

C - is for Christmas, the season of good cheer

H - is for happiness, to last through, through the years

R - is for respect, that each and all should show

In this holy season, wherever you may go

I - is for indulgence, to know how far to go

S - is for Santa Claus, the children all do know

T - is for toys, for little girls and boys

Around the world where they may be

He'll find them joyfully

M - is for manger, the place where He was born

A - is for angels, who watched from dusk till dawn

S - is for star, that led three men from afar

And remembering this, we hope you'll see

A very Merry Christmas, wherever, you may be

                  ~~The Meaning of Christmas, Boris Gardiner

A cat named Bob

It's been a long day for Bob, rescued from the shelter and played with ALL day long.  He's happily purring.  I tried to make him feel more comfortable by wearing my cat beanie.  He liked playing with the ties although he looked at me a little strangely.  Isn't this the cutest pose and prop ever??  It's by Fashiowl, called, appropriately, Bob.  I'm also wearing my Animal Beanie by MOoH!  You can find the beanies for the NextUp event, but hurry, it ends tomorrow.

Happy shopping!

My Westley Will Save Me

Indeed, Buttercup was serene.

Prince Humperdink was bemused by her attitude.

"You do not seem excited...," he murmured.

Buttercup gazed at him, confidently.

"I do not marry tonight.  My Westley will save me."

This round of Enchantment honors the story of The Princess Bride.  You must visit the event; some of the creations by esteemed Second Life designers are so pretty, so adventurous, SO story-making, you will smile.  You'll maybe even shed a couple of fond tears as story scenes easily spring to mind.  

Happy shopping!

The Snow Queen's Deer

With the change of the season, she felt the change within herself begin.  A coolness ran along her veins like a river, hardening, icing.  She tried to send the deer away.  He wouldn't go.  He just wouldn't...go.  Soon her body would be as snowy as the drifts around them.  But the deer would wait.  Perhaps miracles do happen.  He would wait for his Queen.

Enchantment - The Mystery of the White Stag

       "It's been said we must all enter the forest at a place of our own choosing.  In this way, the hero's journey may begin.  In other words, we self-initiate when we accept our role as the hero in our own life and begin to quest for our purpose. We must seek our destiny.

    Through-out Celtic mythology, the hero's journey begins unexpectedly with the sudden appearance of a magnificent white stag.  Often the hero is somewhere he should not be when the stag appears.  He may be poaching in the royal forest or trysting with a maiden already betrothed.

    The adventure begins when the pale stag rises from the misty bog or leaps through the trysting grotto.  The creature's eyes lock on the hero's.  He tosses his head crowned with antlers.  The glove is thrown.  The hero abandons his bow and quiver or the quivering maiden and bounds after the leaping stag.

    Deep in the verdant wood, the stag rears and wheels by a spring, over grown with ferns, trickling over water worn stones. As quick as he appeared, the stag disappears leaping fallen trees.

    The hero kneels to drink from the spring and spies a thin crystal chalice attached by a fine gold chain to a woody fern.  The quality of both the chalice and the chain, he's never seen before. Surely these belong to another world, other airy beings he's only heard of round the smoking fire.  What if he drinks from this holy cup?  What if he takes both the cup and the chain? 

    He wonders to himself, what sort of pilgrim is he and what will become of him?"

Mother of Dragons Fit For The Iron Throne

Daenerys Targaryen is the Mother of Dragons.  In the Game of Thrones, she is a worthy contender to sit on the Iron Throne, as Ruler of all the land and kingdoms.  Will she win the Throne?  The show is near end, so we shall soon find out!

Dani's character with all her trials and tribulations stole my heart early in the story line.  She is beautiful and kind.  But she can also be ruthless.  She has been used as a pawn for others.  So much of what she holds dear has been stripped from her.  Her fortitude is a true testament to her strength.

She calls the dragons her babies.  And they ARE her children, born to her out of fire.  One of my favorite quotes from the show - I'm not giving away too much because it's an obvious one - Dani is asked "What do dragons eat anyway?"  She responds, "Whatever they want."

This round of Enchantment begins on May 11th; mark your calendars.  The theme is The Iron Throne.  You will find marvelous items to add to your fantasy world, and the event sim is glorious so definitely make it a point to visit.

Coal Miner's Daughter

Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter

In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler

We were poor but we had love

That's the one thing that daddy made sure of

He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines

All day long in the field a hoin' corn

Mommy rocked the babies at night

And read the Bible by the coal oil light

And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay

Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day

Why I've seen her fingers bleed

To complain, there was no need

She'd smile in mommy's understanding way

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear

But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair

From a mail order catalog

Money made from selling a hog

Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere

Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter

I remember well, the well where I drew water

The work we done was hard

At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired

I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler

Well a lot of things have changed since a way back then

And it's so good to be back home again

Not much left but the floor, nothing lives here anymore

Except the memory of a coal miner's daughter
