May the peace of this season, and the spirit of he whose birth we celebrate, be with us all this day and forever more.
Amen.

Early Christmas Eve
…and the push is just about on us in Real Life. I have eight hours at the retail job I hold down, after which I’ll probably fall asleep in church because I’m sitting still in one place (grin). As for the Christmas environment in world, as noted by No 7, it’s a lot more easy and pleasant — no crowds, no traffic (except foot traffic at popular merchants), no overworked and overstressed shoppers or store employees who have forgotten the spirit of the season in the press of surviving this last day of commercialism.
If you go out in RL for those legendary Last Perfect Gifts, please be careful on the roads; and, before you explode at a store clerk who just can’t seem to understand or find what you’re looking for, please remember how much work they’ve probably see this season, and Who it is that the Christmastime is supposed to be about.

As I more or less implied in my last post, I haven’t been able to write — or get in world — for the past week or so, prepping for Christmas out here in RL. But I slipped in for a little retail therapy last night before bed. As No 7 also points out, the Grid merchants and Winter Festival participants have been doing a good job of decking the halls. (Click for full size.) Not the most spectacular job of decorating, but I’m a minimalist when it comes to such things. This is Platinum, part of the women’s side. What have been your favorite places in SL this season?
