SPEEDY MCCREADY

Though I have gotten smarter the last few years....

We will put the tree in the stand....

And which ever way the tree is leaning.....

I just take some rope, pull the tree in the other direction, until it is straight......

And tie that fucker to the wall using rope.......

That tree isnt going anywhere!!!! hehehehehe

The fact that Kathy and I havent beaten the shit out of each other, over the years, still surprises me....heheheheheheheheh

we actually even have the spats over the tree, the setup, straightening it in the stand, the "just right" side to face forwards, hubby bringing up the 20 boxes of xmas decor from the basement and putting on the lights...down to a science. it's like...yada yada yada....we both know like shorthand, exactly what sets the other off and we just gloss it over, roll with it...tho sure, go theru the motions of cursing each other out over it. and then...when it's all done.....pizza and wine by christmas tree lights.....

Spats???

Kathy and I have almost gotten into fist fights over the tree!!!!

Last year....

Right in front of the home depot guy........

Kathy told me she was going to shove the tree up my ass...........

The home depot guy is probably still laughing his ass off...........hehehehehehehehe

well, knowing you and your profession...i know you won't be offended when i say, i usually curse like a truckdriver at some point during the day of buying/putting up/decorating the christmas tree. it's a beautiful dreamn family tradtion, and we would never want to break from tradition.




oh, and i am CERTAIN the home depot guy has seen/heard MUCH worse. ever see a couple try and buy floortile together? brutal, i tell ya....;)


ahhhhh...the love the holidays bring out!



btw - on the recommendation of my older sister, a few years ago we bought this new-fangled $75 tree stand. i kid you not. however, the thing is fucking genius. one foot pedal and you can move the entire tree, easily, in micro-directions, and that sucker ain't going anywhere. it has lowered mr. dream's holiday blood pressure enormously.

My Kids: Dad, what do you want for Christmas?

Me: A new Furnace!

MrMerkinball

This year, the kids are really into mystery stories and clues......but they are still the perfect age for Santa.

I am planning a little bit of a "crime scene" this year. On Christmas Morning, they will find deer foot prints in the kitchen, a spilled milk glass, a broken cookie plate on the floor and the kitchen chairs toppled over. Also planning on having 3 empty milk cartons on the counter, the fridge door open.....and the remains of a quickly made Turkey Sandwich, stolen from the leftovers of our Turkey dinner on Christmas eve.

29 days left . Missed the update yesterday because I'm home for thanksgiving and extremely happy to see my family and friends!!!

You shouted "I love youuuuu" while wrapping gifts????

Wait 10 years....

You will be shouting...

Where the fuck is the tape???
Can you get the fucking cat off the damn wrapping paper???
Where did all the fucking bows I bought go???
Where are the fucking name tags???
I dont give a fuck if the bow doesnt match the wrapping paper, just put the damn bow on and lets move on to the next one.
Whose sweater did i just wrap? I dont want to unfucking wrap it to find out!!!!
I cant fucking believe you only bought one roll of fucking tape!!!!

We have turkey again on Xmas @ my house. But with more goodies. Like ham, roast beef, sweet potato, souvaki, etc.. As for deserts, forget about it.
