Sometimes You Just Do It To Yourself

I’m not a hard person to shop for at Christmas- I don’t care about stuff, I just like opening the packages and being surprised.
Which means that I’m really hard to shop for because people think that I won’t say what I want…and when I do give it up and say what I want those same people think I’m kidding [...]

WHEN IN ROME DON’T DO WHAT THE ROMANS DO UNLESS YOU’RE A ROMAN

Yesterday my family were sitting around the old Christmas Tree, eating the Candy, finishing off the turkey and telling stories  with Christmas Music playing in the background- all that was missing was Tiny Tim asking God to Bless us all.
But that old fashioned Christmas feeling was sort of shot to the North Pole on a Yule [...]

What A Day!

Santa asked me, with a straight face:
“I’m sure you’ve been a good girl, what would you like for
Christmas
Anita Marie?”
I said:
“I’d like to go to Roswell for
The 2008 UFO Festival.”
” That would involve you leaving the state for a few week, wouldn’t it?” Santa says too me.
” Indeed” I say to Santa.
” Talk about killing two birds with [...]

On The Twelfth Day

All Sales Are Final 
 
On the twelfth day of Christmas, 
my true love sent to me 
Twelve drummers drumming, 
Eleven pipers piping, 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree! 

For serveral years I believed my family Christmas Gatherings on the whole were trauma and drama [...]

So on this Eve of Christmas I started to think about:
My childhood friends- gone from this life-  who used to call up on Christmas and ask if it would be okay for them to come over and how my Mom or Dad or one of my other relatives would snatch the phone away from me [...]

On The Eleventh Day

Things Start To Get A Little Too Quiet
On the eleventh day of Christmas, 
my true love sent to me 
Eleven pipers piping, 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

My favorite part of Christmas wasn’t the presents or the food or [...]
