i do not know why but in that picture i think she looks a little miffed...
Hi Alady,
After observing your crafty scenario and asking myself why things are in such a way, the riddle is solved. She is mad because she forgot to prepare a holiday dinner for her visiting loved ones, but subtle clues point to the fact that we, the audience, will become that dinner! A trap most devious, she waits low, ready to duck the impending stream of flame about to spew from the fireplace, a yuletide rebel to flambë the prey. That is why there are presents on one chair while she blocks the other at ten minutes to three, the room has been feng shui'd to keep the guest standing still - and indeed why she sings of those who will be home for Christmas. Clever scheme, Alady - bbq to all and to all a good hollandaise!
