Links for Friday
Four days ’til Christmas! Even though we had more time between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, what with Thanksgiving being earlier, I still feel like it has taken me by surprise. I will be doing some wrapping this weekend - I’m still waiting on two shipments from Amazon. They’re supposed to arrive tomorrow. (Fingers crossed.)
This morning Natalie has an orthodontist appointment; this afternoon Michelle and the boys are coming over for a play date. Tomorrow, my sister and her family arrive at my parents’ house for the holidays. We will be sledding on Saturday, decorating cookies on Sunday, singing at the Christmas Eve service Monday, and then celebrating at my parents’ house for Christmas. All that to say that I’ll probably be missing from here until after the Big Day.
Here are a few links to keep you busy while I’m gone:
~ Amazon’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard page
~ The trailer for Ben Stein’s new documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.
~ Amazing and beautiful video: The Inner Life of a Cell. Hat tip: Athol Dickson.
