Best Goofmas Evar!
Tiki Santa (with a little help from the beautiful and talented Mrs. Bali Hai) stopped at our house on Goofmas Eve, and left this fantastic carved tiki post from Tiki Master! I had one empty spot left in my bar, and this fearsome effigy fits the bill perfectly.

I'll be dancing around it in my grass skirt later this evening, but in the meantime, I'm working on my 2nd mug of Glögg in hopes that Britt Eklund soon will be here.
We had quite a feast yesterday: a classic beef roast with carrots and mashed potatoes, along with a very chocolatey pecan-rum cake that I whipped up (I was all out of Grand Marnier and Maribou Mules). I also uncorked a bottle of 2004 Barossa Valley Woodcutters Shiraz that complemented the roast perfectly. With the cake, I drank the last of my Bonny Doon Bouteille Call, a sinfully delicious portified Syrah.
After dinner, we took the kids to see The Chronicles of Narnia. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The CGI work was superb, especially Aslan, and if its message of family, friendship, responsibility, and self-sacrifice for the common good makes it horrible right-wing, fanatical fundamentalist propaganda, as that insufferably self-righteous twit, Polly Toynbee, suggested in the Guardian recently, then I say we need more of it, if only to twist her knickers into even more of a Gordian Knot of self-loathing than they already are.
