On a Scale from 1 to 12

Now that most of you have probably celebrated way too much or at least eaten your way out of house and home, how do you know if your holiday celebration qualified as successful?

So in the true spirit of an unreformed geek, I've come up with my own criteria to define SUCCESS:

1. No celebration attendee is transferred to the ER either by ambulance or speeding vehicle.
2. Fewer than 3 guests expecting to arrive at your house at a designated time to begin a meal are more than 15 minutes late.
3. Absolutely zero toilets overflow at your home.
4. No fire trucks arrive at your residence to put out any type of fire or explosion.
   
5. Your smoke alarm only goes off 1 time.
6. None of your guests break out in hives.
7. You don't hear shrieks of "OH SHIT!" and/or hear the sound of breaking glass.
8. You do not receive bathing products in your Christmas stocking or in a wrapped package.
9. All major household appliances, including the AC/heating units are in working order.
   
10. No living creatures set up housekeeping in your Christmas tree.
11. Two-thirds of your Christmas tree is still intact and over half or your ornaments are unbroken.
12. All of your pets have been located and de-costumed and are being treated for post traumatic stress syndrome.

In the spirit of the holiday, if you got 10 out of 12, you did good.

I hope your celebrations were grand and that you still have enough good cheer left over to give me a vote at humor-blogs.com.

Rest up for the New Year!
