For all you Seattle Jews out there who are overdosing on Christmas music and Christmas decorations and all the rest, I present a new single from a local Jewish artist, Mai Li Pittard...

| Chestnuts. Peeled ones. |

I have called or gone into all the big grocery stores close to me (Fred Meyer, QFC, Safeway, Albertson's), and none of them have peeled/shelled chestnuts, either frozen OR jarred. Have any of you seen them anywhere recently? Am I just SOL because I didn't get a head start on shopping for Christmas dinner? I really don't want to have to shell 2lbs of chestnuts tomorrow.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I will probably be calling or visiting Whole Foods, PCC, and Trader Joe's tomorrow, but if anyone can save me some time it would be a Christmas Miracle :D!!!!!!!!1!!
Thanks~
Wonderful people of Seattle, I thank you. I have successfully completed my quest for chestnuts. Happy Holidays, everyone! |

I am looking for a volunteer opportunity on Christmas- as close to Ballard as possible since I will not have transportation.
I do volunteer work in the community- but not with anything that will have a project on that day.
My kids are in PDX,( one is working and can't get off) my husband is going to see them on the 25th, and I am staying home with our dog who is too old to board, since we decided it isn't a good idea for her to travel ( 15 & 1/2 yr old labrador).
Sadly, my mother died suddenly a week ago, and I don't think it is good to just sit home, so I was thinking of perhaps helping with a dinner?
Any ideas?
Snark welcome as well. |

Do any of you remember the Battletech pods they had at the Wizards of the Coast game center?
Wish you could get a chance to play again? You're in luck. A friend of mine acquired eight of them and has opened an arcade in Kirkland.

| Xmas for homeless street youth in Seattle |

I am very close to many of the homeless street youth in Seattle.
For the last two years I have held a Christmas dinner for them on Christmas day
and asked the community here to contribute which you have done.
YOU made it happen and I'm grateful beyond words.
This year I won't be doing an Xmas feast since there are already two happening on Xmas this year.
But the kids still have many needs such as coats, waterproof footwear, gloves, hats, sleeping bags, hand-warmers, warm clothes, food gift-cards, etc, etc.
If you have any of these items, would like to purchase any of these items, or would
like to make a paypal donation to enable me to purchase these items, please let me know.
For those who would like to donate via paypal my email address there is: katia__r@hotmail.com
(That's two underscores after katia).
( Here's a photo from last year's feast. The kids were really blown away by all of your kindness )
Thank you for listening and caring.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!!
Katia

| Snowpocalypse and the awesomeness of this comm |
|

From The New York Times: "“Snowpocalypse” appears to have made its way into the vernacular; ABC News even used the term in a Web headline on Saturday. However, the word might be more familiar to those in the Pacific Northwest. Urban Dictionary suggests the term emerged in Seattle in late 2008 to describe a Dec. 20 blizzard. But the term seems a bit older than that. While we make no claims achieving Safire standards here, our adventure in Google etymology yielded uses of the term in 2007 and even 2006 – both those years apparently referring to northern Washington State storms as well."
