Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Take a look outside. Red, white, blue, purple, green, yellow, black... We're all looking at the same moon. Merry Christmas, everybody. -Froz
Are you sure we're looking at the same moon Froz? Cause while mine's white/yellow/black, I sure don't see any red or blue or purple or green on it.
Perhaps I need more wassail?
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at December 24, 2007 11:11 PMMerry Christmas, Froz, Apo, GB, M/tch, and the rest -- I was looking at a really beautiful orange moon this evening at around 6 and wanting to photograph it. By the time I got my camera and back outside, Luna was white and obscured by a cloud.

Perhaps, yes. Or Zinfandel, which seems to do the trick just as well.

Not since An American Tail has this sentiment been expressed so beautifully.

Posted by: Doctor Slack at December 25, 2007 05:18 AMThanks, Froz. I did go out with that gentle reminder and gazed up at Sister Moon.
Very merry to you and yours.
I immediately thought of this poem by Su Dong Po.
Wang Fei (a.k.a Faye Wong) has a nice version set to music.
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at December 25, 2007 01:48 PMThat's funny, I saw a movie on Christmas eve and one of the previews was for a film with the same premise. Perhaps the saying should be, "We're all looking at the same moon thinking the same cheesy sentimental thoughts."
