(And a Happy New Year!!! – promoted by buhdydharma )
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin’ champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn’t know what to think of him til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz NavidadBrother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin’ while the stereo plays Noel, Noel,
The first NoelCarve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog’s gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the familyFran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can’t remember how I’m kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on and we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent NightCarve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop ‘n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite
A box of tampons and Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the familyFeliz Navidad!

Time to take a nap….. I am going into work tonight.
Author
after a large meal of leftovers (no cooking-YAY!) so I’m heading off for a nap…
Happy Holidays One & All!
and i ate lots of great food, drank wine, laughed and laughed… and got beautiful pearl, pink gold and white gold earrings from my honey for my birthday… they are beautiful and they look great, have to say…
and my nephew ryan wrote me a poem and when you read each letter down, it spelled “my aunt”
and he thinks i’m awesome!!! now really, does it get better than that?
One of my better ones as instead of cooking a gigantic meal for all the family they came this weekend in separate batches.I got to enjoy the grandchildren and actually talk to my kids. Tonight were going to a fancy hotel for a romantic dinner. Everyone in my family got me art supplies without consultation. I am a artist who hasn’t painted for about 2yrs. so I think the universe and my family are telling me to get back to work. Hope all your Christmas’s are peaceful and full of the light we all need so much.
who sent it???
I got my 13 year old grand-niece “To Kill A Mockingbird”, I think she’ll enjoy it very much, and I got my 6 year old grand-nephew “The Swiss Family Robinson.” I going to get his parents to read to him and his sister at bedtime.
Merry Xmas to All.
Just have a moment to check in and say hi….and wish you all the very best!
Love to all, buhdydharma!
The cats are disappointed.

“‘Ight”. The word is correctly pronounced “‘ight.” It does not have a silent “a” before the “‘”. “‘Ight?”
Merry Christmas Everyone!
