I now have candles, oil (light olive oil, not the cloudy stuff in the squeeze bottles. Better oil=better flames) and wicks. Also a box of gelt for my office.

My holiday prep? Well, I need to give the candle chanukiah a hot water soak, and we have to discuss if we should clean out the oil cups for the disposable oil chanukiah or buy a new one. Which costs about $10, so I'm all for that.

Otherwise. Done.

ETA: I lied. There's the family Chanukah party, which means we need to buy gifts for three little boys and one little girl, plus immediate family gifts. I've already gotten a set of blue Le Crueset silicon spatulas for my mother-in-law, and Jonathan has found appropriate gifts for the others, but we need to find something for the fifteen-month-old, and I'm stumped, as usual, for Jonathan's gift.

You have done a good deed by including the link to the Flashing Blinky Lights site.

grifyn's day has been made.

That makes me very happy to hear. Thank you. He should enjoy it.

And there you are wearing your candles again. :)

Today I'm actually wearing a headband with artificial holly, jingle-bells, and ribbons to work, for the party. Last year more than a few people made Santa Lucia comments about it.

Currently,

grifyn is looking at the blinking pens. She is scheming madly, and amusing her entire friends list.
