Holiday tips from krix:
- Too busy to bake? Go buy some Pier 1 vanilla buttercream candles or scented spray to give your kitchen a yummy smell that will fool everyone....until they ask for a cookie, anyway.
- Stop into every Starbucks you pass and have a gingerbread latte while you can.
- That pimple in your ear? DON'T MESS WITH IT, you'll only make it worse (this actually applies all year).
- Make smart dinner choices, consider Turducken.
- If you have last-minute shopping to do, listen to Dtracor (aka Eric) song - Merry Christmas - to get you all riled up to brave the crowds.
- The capacity to give a damn if the tree is straight and the lights are all working is in exact inverse proportion to the number of rum balls consumed.
- If you are Keanu Reeves, please read the title of this entry again. Don't worry, it's not like there's a subliminal message in it or anything.
And most of all, have a rawkin' holiday! \m/
*smoooooch!*
Season's Greetings to you, krix.
And thank you for giving us our daily
Keanu Fix. T'would be lost without you.

i hope everyone has a phenomenal holiday season.
cool facts! lmao, it took me a while to figure out the whole entry title. but then i did, then I laughed. :D
Posted by: Steph on December 24, 2003 12:40 PMKrix, if he accepts your proposal, I hope we're all invited. But even though I'll try to be happy for you, please be prepared for very loud weeping and wailing background noises.
Merry Christmas, All!
Posted by: heather on December 24, 2003 12:49 PMYou have a rawkin' holiday too, Krix! Merry XMas, Happy Hanukah or whatever makes ya happy.
Oh, and the rum balls are EXCELLENT!
Posted by: Rhonda, somewhere in Texas on December 24, 2003 12:49 PMHappy Holidays, krixy.
Oh, and because most of my college courses made me a nitpicky bastard, it's either "directly proportional" or "inversely proportional". Not both at once. :)
Of course your capacity to care about this detail ALSO depends on the amount of rum balls you've had...
Either way, I loves ya. *hug*
Posted by: Mikey2 on December 24, 2003 01:04 PMWell, Mikey I have not had any rum balls today so I fixed it ;) Thanks for being the cutest fact-checker ever.
LOL@Heather "weeping and wailing"
Eric doth rock muchly, huh?
Thank you for all the wishes everyone! Much love and smoooshes to you all!
Posted by: krix on December 24, 2003 01:16 PMMerry Christmas, love! mmmm..rumballs. Alas, I've given all of mine away. Which is probably where they belong, but damn, I sort of miss them. hee.
Posted by: skits@skittish.org on December 24, 2003 02:24 PMMerry Christmas Krix! *hugz*
Posted by: Catz on December 24, 2003 03:04 PMhappy holidays to all!!!!
Posted by: TINA on December 24, 2003 04:19 PMSo that's what I've been doing wrong all these years. Rum balls first, THEN tree lights! You're a fountain of knowledge Krix...where would we all be without your sage advice?
Wishing you all safe and happy holidays.
Posted by: Irene on December 24, 2003 05:49 PMWell, this is late, but I hope all of you Keanuphiles out there had a very happy and safe holiday.
Next year, I have to try the rum balls. This year, I did Kahlua balls.

Posted by: shelli on December 25, 2003 08:00 AMlate as always...A Merry, merry krixmas to all here, especially The Krix herself!! I've become addicted to this place in such a short time...as evidenced by the fact that I'm here on Christmas morning.. *big cybersmoochies to all*
love this entry, I'm getting my dress for the wedding tomorrow--that's what sales are for!
Posted by: bakednudel on December 25, 2003 08:09 AMwell, i ***forgot*** to check on the falco jersey yesterday, and totally lost it (the other bidder lost it too, to some last minute ambush bidder -- aacckkkk!). 'sokay, though, i saved about $350...good idea, anyway, krix.
whoa ho ho?! i love it! i'm adding it to my list of classic christmas greetings:
happy christmas (war is over)
have a yule that's cool
whoa ho ho
not a very long list, but it'll do. so, to all keanuvision folks -- COOL YULE!
Posted by: lori on December 25, 2003 08:14 AMHappy Xmas! And have a fabulous new year!
(And hey....what happened to krix.org?? Tell me you're just taking a short break!!)
I love you Krix!!!
Thanks for the pimple advice...LOL
Zen, here is the recipe I used for Kahlua balls. VERY GOOD! Never made rum balls, but I bet that these are just as time consuming. Your friends will thank you.
HINT: Put the dough in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you attempt to roll them up. You may want to do this again when you are about half way through the dough. They are SO much easier to roll that way.
Sorry the link is so long. If you lose some of it, just go to epicurious.com and look for the no bake kahlua balls.
Posted by: Melissa on December 25, 2003 03:32 PMAs an add to the above comment, if anyone does attempt to make the Kahlua balls, you will need to use more crumbs than the recipe says. I used probably 1/4 cup more. The dough should be pretty firm. And these are not really "cookies" when done, but more like the consistency of fudge.
Sorry to hijack the blog, krix.
Posted by: Melissa on December 25, 2003 03:40 PMNo problem Melissa, they sound yummy!
(I made the link clickable so it should work fine)
Hope everyone had a lovely holiday, and thank you so much for the holiday lovin'!
Thanks Melissa! :D
Posted by: Zen on December 25, 2003 06:45 PMOoooo, yum! I missed out on the rum balls this year, but next year will definitely make them, along with the Kahlua balls. Keanu-lovin' AND recipes in one site? Now, that's the *ultimate*!
**I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the day with people you love! :) **
Posted by: r.j.girl on December 25, 2003 07:16 PMkrixy, you OK? cause I just saw in the news there were floods (!) in Las Vegas! Here's thoughts and prayers that all is well with you and yours...
Posted by: bakednudel on December 26, 2003 07:55 AMThanks, nudel. Everything's fine :)
