I'm told it's "The Holidays", that wonderful time of the year that brings out the best in everyone. We feel all tingly inside, frolicking about in shopping malls, graciously handing over the last of the latest fad toy to the person behind us. We eat and drink moderately at parties and we don't make fun of crazy Uncle Earl at family events. We reach out to those in need.
Let's all sing Kumbaya around the nuts chestnuts roasting on an open fire......
SCCCRREE-EEEECH!
*removes needle from record*
Oh my. I don't know where that came from. Let me try again.
Humbug, bah. Holidays. Again?
SIGH.
Yippee.
SCCCRREE-EEEECH!
*removes needle from record*
Let's give it one more whirl.
Cookies. Rum balls. FUDGE. Virtual Shopping for Bloggy Buddies!
YEE-HAW! It's "The Holidays!!!"
That's more like it.
I'm kicking off the season with a few special gifts just for you, my loyal readers.*
For my BBFF (Best Blogging Friend Forever) Zombie Queen Quirky, I have found the most delightful gift:
Our favorite Zombie Loon will never be at a loss for a thought brainz again. Quirky, if possible, please share with us how much you enjoyed your meal gift!
May they light up your life or at least a dark hallway. I hope to hear that you now sleep with them on your bedside table and they comfort you.
Today's last gift is for Driveling Deb, my nearly always frozen pal up in coastal Maine:
I'm expecting Deb to wear these while walking to her mailbox and taking Nutjob, her crazy ferocious beast she calls a dog, for a walk. I'd like a report from Mr. Man and the neighbors.
*I hope to find gifts for all of you but I reserve the right to run out of time, energy, and interest. Yeah, like regular Christmas shopping. Snort.
Tune in next time for the 2nd Day of Christmas gifts, knowing that my definition of day may be different than yours. It will probably be next week.
