Type in "let it snow" into Google and it will snow!
This is the most sugary Sugar Plum Fairy dance ever. Amazing.
Visions of sugar plums.
What is a sugar plum anyway?
Apparently it's not even, necessarily, a plum. Huh. Another one of those Christmas myths.
How I imagined they would look
More how they really look
A sugarplum recipe: Sugarplums are a mix of dried fruits, nuts, and spices with brandy as a preservative. In Victorian times, without refrigeration, brandy not only added seasonal spirit but also aided in the preservation of items.
"A sugar plum is a piece of dragée candy that is made of dried fruits and shaped in a small round or oval shape.[1][2]
Cartoon voice actors read Twas the Night Before Christmas
The names of the reindeer:
Dasher,Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder (or Donner), and Blitzen
Holiday reality calls
When a house in Moscow caught fire the firemen doused the blaze and this is what it looked like after.
This is the before and after story of that house in the above images.
An archive of wonderful images, comparing Moscow then and now on Bridge To Moscow
Ok, nothing to do with sugar plums or holidays but significant. The potential censorship of the web via SOPA. What is SOPA and why could it impact everyone on the planet?
Wtf is SOPA?

"Plum" in the name of this confection does not mean plum in the sense of the fruit of the same name. At one time, "plum" was used to denote any dried fruit. [3] Sugar plums can be made from any combination of dried plums (aka prunes), dried figs, dried apricots, dried dates, and dried cherries. The dried fruit is chopped fine and combined with chopped almonds, honey, and aromatic spices, such as anise seed,fennel seed, caraway seeds, and cardamom. This mixture would then be rolled into balls, often then coated in sugar or shredded coconut."
