We Wish You A Merry Christmas…
Merry Christmas to my dearest readers and I hope you have been blessed as I have been. I am barely hanging in there my friends. With all extra hours at work and cooking and baking and crap like that I am exhausted. My children were up BEFORE the butt crack of dawn. (By the way is this a southern saying or have you “others” heard this phrase?) Santa was good to my kids this year. My oldest got a computer (don’t ask Santa had to sell her soul for this my dear readers and Santa will be paying for this for a few months) Then My son got Rock Band. (Santa did some pre-holiday shopping) and then my baby got her art set she had been wanting. (Santa got off easy with this one) Then they were blessed with my cheapskate shopping and the work of Angels who with their good hearts provided for my children and for that I will be forever thankful. I was excited for the Rock Band gift. I thought how “cool” I would be playing the drums, guitar, and singing. Cool was NOT what I felt like after playing this game. I felt like not only did I get of the “short” bus I felt like I fell off it and got run over by its “special” tire. It is still fun as long as the only people who watch me make a fool of myself are the ones I can “threaten” to ground or withhold “favors” if you know what I mean. We got some other games that might be fun but I am too tired to even cut the tape on them. So as this Christmas is coming to a close I can tell you that even with the shortness of money, the being sick as a dog, and perverts calling me at work we managed to have a wonderful Christmas and most importantly we made memories (even if I have to threaten my kids to forget the Rock Band memories) I hope you and your family have the most blessed Christmas ever. I hope you had the privilege of seeing a smiling child opening their first present of Christmas morning. I hope you had the chance to hear laughter following from around a kitchen table and ate so much sugar you are shaking like a pissed off Chihuahua. Most importantly I hope you are able to sleep in tomorrow and threaten bodily harm to those who might wake you up before you are ready. May God be with you and to quote a famous character “May you know the true spirit of Christmas and keep it in your heart all year long”. We wish you a Merry Christmas; we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year…… Oh I am sure you wanted to know about our “deer” tradition. Yes my dear friends we had a close call with Bambi’s mom but she had just crossed the road and was in the ditch and she had the NERVE to give us a “Bite Me” look…….
