Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours from The Shady Glade! If you missed any of the Yuletide cheer from the last 25 days, you can catch up here. I hope you enjoyed celebrating with me.

I leave you with a little thought for the holidays:

During this glorious time of year, there is one message that rings out around the world in every language. "Peace on earth, good will to men" is a wish to hold in our hearts throughout each passing year. A gift of immeasurable value, a treasure being handed down with care, from generation to generation. And so our holiday wish is that everyone, everywhere, share in the spirit of the season, peace on earth, good will to men.

-Narration by Walter Cronkite from Holiday IllumiNations at Epcot.

Harry Potter Quotes

Miss Erin has been posting a Harry-quote-a-day to celebrate the countdown to the new HP book. So I thought it would be fun to jump in with one of my own all-time favorite Harry quotes:

"Oh, are you a prefect, Percy?" said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. "You should have said something, we had no idea."
"Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it," said the other twin. "Once--"
"Or twice--"
"A minute--"
"All summer--"
"Oh, shut up," said Percy the Prefect.

Gotta love the twins... :-)

Quotes: People are like windows

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” -Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.

Quotes: DramaCon Vol. 2

I just had to post this one. This is my life in so many ways!

"Life, you are offically fired on an account of not being fair..." - Chrisse from Dramacon 2

Quotes: Paranoid Park

Here's a quote from Paranoid Park by Blake Nelson:

“I stared out the window. I imagined riding to the police station, my hands cuffed behind my back. That would be fine with me. It really would. I was done. There was no point now. My life sucked so much, I might as well get caught.”
