Bah Humbug!

BAH, Away with Christmas I say!  And, I do mean it.  I do not like Christmas and I haven't in pretty much a decade.  Scrooge had it right originally, waste of time, money and energy.  With working, every day, including the holidays are just another day of the week and honestly mean nothing to me.  Yeah, the holidays mean nothing but sour notes, hate and more hate. It actually kind of disgusts me now and deep scars that will never heal have settled in.  Give a gift, why?  If I give or receive a gift on any other day, is that less special?  Of course not, it's still special regardless so who cares if it's on Christmas Eve or Day?  The only nice thing about the holidays to me is the extra pay!  I do like that and that is all I like about it, the money!  I've really become Scrooge (McDuck) and you know what, I like it!

Weekly Update:
We finally got some serious rain!  Estimated at first to be 4 inches but I think it increased in certain areas to 12 inches!  It has stopped but I think I saw more is coming later in the week and what is really nice is the reservoirs are filled at the moment!  Not sure how long they will stay that way but we need to keep them going and filled as long as we can.  I haven't seen the mountains yet but I hope when I do, they are covered in snow!  We can only hope that is the case and the rains continue through the season.  I think we have officially started Winter Solstice?  Was it on the 21st or something like that?  I hope later Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow and hides for even more Winter rain!  Can it just rain for a few weeks straight please?  That would be such a blessing and a relief for awhile anyway.  More rain more rain more rain please!

At the movies:
Holding ground with a very mall drop in numbers is Avatar: Fire and Ash with an extra 64 million for week 2.  Just passing the 200 mil mark and with the New Year Holiday, should get to 300 in no time.  Up the charts to #2 is Zootopia 2 with 20 mil more gaining 35% climb where as everyone else drops but this puts the film just over 300 mil mark now.  New at #3 (but opened limited previously) is Marty Supreme with 17.5 mil and not too bad.  Slight drop to #4 is The Housemaid with 15.4 mil as it also had a very small drop percentage.  New at #5 is Anaconda with 14.6 mil to open and did everyone thinks this was the new Jumanji movie?

New films that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week at #8 is Song Sung Blue going wide on over 2500 runs and earning only 7.6 mil but likely going for awards over box office, I hope.
