I've been trying to think of why bones and clouds might somehow be linked.  The two things that come to my mind (though it might be different for others) is that in general I think we mostly think of clouds and bones as being similar in color (white).  Although, clouds are not always white in appearance (the could be grey during a storm, or pink during a sunset).... still, the general notion is probably to think of clouds as white.  And, both clouds and bones give structure (either visual structure or physical structure) to things that would otherwise be loose, amophous, unstructured, etc.

And, when it comes to the demonic energy of a mountain... I can think of ways that a mountain (its massiveness, dangerous craggy materials, etc.) could be thought of as threatening.  There are ways that mountains can be beautiful and peaceful, and other ways that they can be dangerous (for instance, getting lost, getting stuck in a storm, feeling tiny in the presence of massive natural structures, etc.).   I think the way a mountain can be perceived may be somewhat tied to personal mood at a given time... so that makes sense for the coming down the mountain mood in BBM.

Ennis's perception of the mountain as hostile all of a sudden (when it once was benevolent) is his internal projection.

Me! Usually, I'm the last moment type and don't start buying gifts before December (and I have lots of people to gift, big family and plenty relatives).
Anyway, Barbie releases a new Barbie movie every year a while before Christmas (of course!). Last year my son wanted one of the Barbies from the movie for Christmas. And I waited, and waited. When I finally got around to buy Christmas presents, this specific doll was sold out - and never got back in stock again. You can't buy it anywhere in Germany (except on ebay, for the triple prize).

This won't happen again this year. The new Barbie movie came last week, and I've already bought the doll he wants to have. *phew*
So yes, I have already bought one Christmas present .

Sounds like a hard job to shop for kids! I remember being like that myself when I was a kid, it almost felt like a death and life situation that I got exactly what I wanted (and that my sister didn´t get any better gifts than me of course )

I asked because I´ve noticed that the stores have started to pile up on christmas decorations and such.

Chrissi and Monika, your English is so good!  I often forget it's not your first language.
