Dance of the Sugar Plum Lesbians

If you haven't already discovered it, you simply must click on over to Joe.My.God's site, and read Dance of the Sugar Plum Lesbians. It's wonderful and sweet and a better holiday story than most of the fluffy new Christmas specials flooding the TV these days.

I read Dance of the Sugar Plum Lesbians last year, not long after I started blogging. It made me smile, it made me teary -eyed. It has a magical feeling, and Joe's writing, the pulse and life of the station, draws the reader in, like a little kid hearing the story of Santa.

Willym mentioned it on his site recently, and I remembered it immediately from last year. This is the first "annual tradition" that I personally have experienced in the blogosphere, and is absolutely the perfect story to mark that time in my mind.

I love this story.

First off, nice art, love it. I also love Joe's Sugar Plum Lesbians. It is a super sweet story. I read it last year also and again when he posted it this year. He has such an eloquent way of observing and transferring it for us to enjoy.

This is my first blogging Christmas, thus my first year to read Sugar Plum Lesbians. I was touched my the sweetness. I look forward to hanging around here for another year to catch it again on the re-re-re-re-release. :-)
