Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

I'm a cross!
You are St Brigid's Cross: St. Brigid is an Irish saint who hand-wove a cross,out of rushes she found by the river. She made the cross while explaining the passion of our Lord to a pagan man.
eer didn't see Blair Witch (dont' see most movies if I'm honest)
tell me Alice why did I think you and yoru family live in Canada. I just read that you are in Atlanta - which unless it's moved - isn't anywhere near Canada :)
Not sure why you thought I was Canadian, but oddly enough I was married to a Canadian at one time.
You don't want to see The Blair Witch Project, very creepy. It has the distinction of being a contemporary horror film with no gore and no violence. Mostly the directors played with the effect of atmosphere (a forest) and suggestion on the imagination(what is that scuffling in the bushes? what are these odd little twig figures in the trees? did you hear something? where are we? how do we get out?).
these straw ornaments are very popular in the Nordic countries at Christmas time especially.
ReplyDeletethought you'd like to know that :)
I like being a Christmas cross! Though I have to say it reminds me a bit of those talismans that showed up in The Blair Witch Project.

Hey I'm getting better grin - not that there was anything wrong
ReplyDeletebut I went out for lunch today
and
I'm planning to go and see the Jane Austen movie and Narnia movies as soon as they come out here.
Which isn't bad for someone who rarely goes out and studies and ministers too hard!!
but you're right I wouldn't like that Blair witch story. Sounds creepy. And creepy I can do without.
I'm a St Brigid Cross as well. I like that it's made from simple materials, rather than fancy gold and jewels and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI came out as that as well. I think my Celtic ancestors would be pleased.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't Irish, but hang those on our Christmas tree. I never knew their name until now.
