newmoonstarChristmas is almost here! And I'm actually happy about it! Usually I'm a humbug until about a day before, but man, when the first snow hit this year, and the whole world looked like a perfectly frosted sugar plum wonderland, the holiday spirit bit me big. So I'm wrapping presents and decorating and generally being a happy Christmas elf like I never have before. Christmas cards are up next, but they've always been one of my favorite things, as many people probably know! (Because yes, I am a greeting card-aholic!) I've got adorable Edwardian themed postcards this year just waiting to be sent out. :)
On the Broadway musical front, I've just listened to Rags, which was quite decent, absolutely nothing about it would have pointed toward it being a 4 performance flop like it was. 'For My Mary' was even one of the most adorable numbers I've heard in a while. But it was pretty average Brodway stuff mostly. The really weird thing was that the cover art, subject matter and title, are almost exactly the same as Ragtime. Has no one else ever noticed that? Did the people making Ragtime notice it? One has to wonder. But being an Ahrens/Flaherty fan since Anastasia, I give Ragtime the edge. Even despite possible copycat-ism!
