I've been waiting patiently for the first installment of The Hobbit to come out. Of course, the realization of the movie mostly seemed like vague reports and imagination to me, and I could handle that. And for some reason, I thought it was coming out this summer. No problem. I could wait perfectly well for that.
Then hubby sent me this trailer this morning, which both took away any patience I had and informed me that I have to wait until NEXT DECEMBER 14th to see it!
On the bright side, this gives me plenty of time to re-read the book, which I haven't read since high school.
And this just showed up in my RSS feed: Waiting for Bilbo: Comic: The Hobbit Trailer (just so you know, I wasn't one of those people. Really. I'm serious. Why don't you believe me?)

Christmas Countdown: If you don't have it, fake it...
No fireplace?
Fake tree?
No Christmas CD's?
No problem!
A pine-scented candle, over on the left
(I'm always on the hunt for the most realistic Christmas tree scent since we can't have a real tree),

Pandora Radio on the computer,
+
a Fireplace video streaming through Netflix on the TV
(we do have a fireplace, but it's gas, so it doesn't have the nice pop & crackle of wood like the video),

A nice holiday mood while I worked in my home office the other day.
Update 12/22/11: A Facebook friend posted a link to this fireplace video on YouTube, so you don't even have to have Netflix - although the YouTube video is shorter, so you have to press play more often ;)
