we had Thanksgiving yesterday

all the kids have Thanksgiving with their kids so we do it a week early for the grownups

and that means

IT'S CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!!

time to pull out Ralphie and start on about lobsters coming out of my ears and you'll shoot your eye out kid and going blind from soap poisoning

and the big one "FUUUUUDGE!"



its Christmas time. magic and elves and candy canes and grinches trying to poop on the parade and ranting about Christmas is a secular commercial event

but for ME it's Jesus birthday and celebrating the birth of baby Jesus and wisemen and angels and shepherds and silent night and nativities and ghosts of christmas past and rudolph and christmas trees and caroling and lights on the roof and mistletoe and eggnog and Texas divinty (mmmmmmm)

its MAGIC!!!

ya'll have my permission to celebrate any way you please but THAT is what I'll be doin

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas"
Eggs Benedict Christmas morning.
Snow, Fun, Magic,...............

My mom used to say the Three Wise Men were late getting there because they were Syrian and Armenian and they kept tripping over those 'shoes' that curl up at the toe.
Honest she did.

We had to sit on the stairs until Dad rolled his butt out of bed, and we whispered and tried to sneak peeks around the corner at our presents. Then we had to eat cinnamon rolls and an orange before we could open our stockings.

There was always a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve.

Jesus gets a birthday cake every year.
