Singing
I heard a weird noise just now, and walking around to suss it out, found that the cast-iron steam kettle on top of the soapstone woodstove was singing.
The kettle was singing.
How often have I read that? And now I've heard it.
Christmas music on the CD player: Butch Thompson's Yulestride, one of my all-time Christmas favorites, alternating with things like Bethlehem after Dark, Anonymous 4's On Yoolis Night, Ethan James' Ancient Music of Christmas (primarily hurdy-gurdy and definitely not for everyone), Christmas with Sonos Handbell Ensemble, or The Jethro Tull Christmas Album.
What? You didn't know there was a Jethro Tull Christmas album?
It's an education, blogreading, innit?
Now [says to self, firmly] must go get ready for Christmas!
Labels: soapstone stove, weirdness

There's a whole Jethro Tull Christmas album!? I've got one of their holiday songs in a compilation, but never knew there was a whole album! Woot! Must find! Thank you. :)
Love the Jethro Tull - great choice!!!
well the yarn harlot was playing the Bee Gee's Christmas album at her place so there are all sorts of marvels out there!
I'm trying to imagine what a Tull Christmas would sound like and failing miserably :]
Greensleeved is our current favorite Holiday song!!!
