David Bowie Bing Crosby duet of drummer boy is simply awesome- so pretty
I'm assuming you've seen the whole video? Their chemistry at the beginning is incredible...two amazing individuals. That video is a piece of history.
Yes just watched it again seeing if i could post it- can't figure how to do that my dumb- its been years since I've seen it. It was a strange pairing but really works I love it and you are so right two amazing people.
Its Lucy's first Christmas with us- She has carefully removed a couple choice ornaments when no one was looking and taken them to her hiding places. I have retrieved them and put them back on the tree- I guess we will be playing this game for a few weeks. She's a funny dog- has 2 areas in the yard that we call Lucy's lair where she collects whatever she can carry even a stepping stone! She likes her things alright
I'm having a festivus party on the 23rd. Getting all my close friends together and hopefully just having a really good time. Then family the next two days!
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
ok we tried a new pretty Christmas cocktail last evening if you are so inclined...
Red stag (which is blackberry Jim Beam- I don't usually drink hard liquor but I think I got that right)
and cranberry juice.
It was a little sweet but very pretty by Christmas twinkle lights and a
very tasty treat indeed
While I enjoy having time off work, and spending time with family and friends. I dread the forced gift giving more and more each year.
My thoughts too. Overall, like always I am looking forward to the memories I'll make with friends and family...

hubby and i are skipping gifts this year.
sooooooooo enjoyable!
for us, it's ALL about being with friends and family.

we decided to skip presents last year- and what a joy the day was- almost no stress.
This year- we will do the same and just give to the Munchkin as its her first.
The in-laws don't really get along so we are doing the round-robin traveling to the Grandparents, as because its her first. So not looking forward to the traffic
I'm glad it's not a Saturday. Otherwise you lose the three-day weekend.

WOW sorry I forgot to update this guys!!!!!!! Studying for finals was fucking ridiculous but I have ONE MORE at 11am tomorrow and I'M HOME FREE FOR CHRISTMAS BABY!!!!!!
I'm glad it's not a Saturday. Otherwise you lose the three-day weekend.
I was shocked....
And I mean SHOCKED!!!!!
When the owner informed us that we will be closed on Christmas Eve.....
I havent had Christmas Eve off in a long long time....
4 day weekend!!!!
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice, i'm working christmas eve, but it's irrelevant to me since I'm Jewish. When i worked at the sports wire service, I liked working Christmas Day because it meant I had the following day off which is a day when both the NBA and NHL usually played a big slate of games.

Bubble lights and all- our tree 2009
to celebrate a birthday!
Daughters village this year- "the place where nothing bad ever happens"
Hubby surprised me with a new decoration this year, Baby Jesus has leaves for a blanket how realistic is that!
Back deck is a peaceful place where you can find PJ playing Christmas style with Rudolph keeping watch
Chasing yankee lights make for a wild porch in 2009! Frostie tips his hat and rings his bell- he's 17 years old this year!! They don't make 'em like that anymore
The Wisconsin cow hangs with Santa-there is no place like home- Wisconsin memories live in my heart especially at Christmastime
Merry Christmas to all and to all enjoy your holidays!
WOW pandora - gorgeous!
(any why oh why didn't you post your tree in the 'oh christmas tree' thread? :(
beautiful job!
xavier - even if christmas was on a saturday, we'd still get a 3 day weekend. most businesses plan on 1-2 days off for the holiday regardless. also why i think next year, for 2 years in a row, we'll more than likely get the week off. we always get christmas, day after and new years day off - so 3 holidays. so even if on a weekend, they'd give us the days, or make em floating holidays. however, i think we'll simply have another firm shutdown. gave us the extra days this year, think they'll do the same next. whatever. i am definitely enjoying the extra time off this year! 5 more days of work than i don't come back until the 5th!

hope everyone thoroughly enjoys their holidays however they spend them!

Life is good.........

"I Hate Christmas"
People who "Hate Christmas" are the same people who will tell you how...
Work sucks
Life sucks
The entire world sucks
Christmas is all about money
Why should I have to spend money???
I cant wait for the Holidays to be over
Fuck those people
Christmas is fucking great....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
There are plenty of us who actually wake up every day with a smile on our face....
And if the Christmas Season cant put a smile on your face....
Then stay the fuck away from me....hehehehehe
Fa la la la la.....
La la la la....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
happiness and cheer to all
