nothing says christmas like decking your neighbor
Mmm ch mmm ch mmmch. I love the holidays. By far the best time of the year and this year proves to be even better because it will be Irishman O'Swoon-less. Wooofeckinghoo.
Today I woke up to the smells of Chexmix and ginger snaps. After the first taste of both, I boldy proclaimed: "Ist now da holidayzz jah." No really, just like that. Shuttup.
Drinking my chai that I received from Tent-Boy and watching the snow try to come down yesterday was nice. He also bought me an American Quote book and that is where most of my quotes will be coming from henceforth.[i love that word. say it kids and try not to feel important. yeah, gotcha.]
We put up the tree and it didn't fall over. No really. Not even once. Which is great despite the fact that the tree is a tad crooked at the top and the star only weighs it down. Eheh. They need to make a book 'Tree Trimming For Dummies' because Mr. Fabulously Flamboyant and I had a weensy bit of trouble stringing the lights.[the orange buggers wouldn't work...then the blue died] Meanwhile Carol and Miss Linguist dined on pizza from the Hut of Pizzas and watched us wrestle. Somehow, this holiday just screams rockin' since we're spending Christmas morning with them. And possibly Christmas Eve.
I'm going to go string lights in the windows now, since we are usually the anti-Christmas decorating family. Suburban Weed Nazi brought it up the other day that you can always tell when someone hates the holidays. But I don't hate them and I refuse to be overshadowed by Miss Linguist's overly French way of looking at things. So I am putting up lights to alert the suburbia grapevine that the kids really are alright.[in a sense]
This has been your holly jolly diarist. Ho ho ho and a bottle of eggnog.(with rum)
