Another year over, and a new one just begun

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning. It’s Friyay! We made it again. Also, Merry Christmas. I hope everyone got to sleep in a little. Not me, because I forgot to shut off my alarm! It went off as if I had to work today. So here I am 7:13, wide awake, waiting for coffee.

So yeah. Happy birthday Jesus.

I think in an attempt to help me feel better, my dad went downstairs and found the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. It was a movie that we’d watch every Christmas. It didn’t disappoint. Still just as funny as ever. So it did help.

Mom must have gotten up in the night. And moved the tree out of the shower and plugged it in.

So right now, I have coffee. I’m letting Shady Acres sleep. I do however, hear my mom moving around. So the bustle starts.

Happy Friyay all.

All I want for Christmas is you

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need?
Won’t you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas… is you
You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

I love you so much ❤️

You gave your presents to me – and I gave mine to you

It’s Christmas Eve. There’s only one place that I want to be. If Christmas wishes are real, they haven’t been working for me yet. It’s a short day at work today. So I won’t be taking a lunch today.

These next two days are gonna suck. I’m trying to stay positive. I’m very excited for Crystal’s amazing dinners the next couple of days; Chinese food, and then Indian food on Christmas Day. It’s gonna be very yummy food for her.

I did ask her over the next two days, if she could, watch the greatest Christmas movie of all time: Die Hard. So hopefully she can watch it.

Other than that, nothing much is going on these days. I hope I can get in some reading over the next couple of days. I have the weekend off, but back to work next week – the bonus is the shop isn’t open until January 6th. Lots of cleaning and rearranging of the shop, and cleaning of the warehouse and getting everything organized the kicker; the warehouse isn’t heated.

Ok time to watch some news and sip some coffee. I don’t have a quiet morning to wake up here. My mom has sung to the cats at least 3 times already. She doesn’t have an “indoor” voice. And isn’t a good singer.

Well happy holidays y’all. Hug your loved ones. I wish I could hug mine. I love you Crystal.

Home video: The Christmas Club

Posted on by Shawshank

Here’s another edition of Lockup Library Home Video. Its the Christmas season, so it’s another Hallmark movie. Hey in my defence (as bad as it is), there’s nothing on TV at 7:30 in the morning. So I usually catch the last 15 minutes of one movie, and then I can catch the whole next movie.

This weeks movie is The Christmas Club.

In all honesty, I haven’t really been paying attention to the movie, but the plot is tried and true.

Two strangers meet to help an old woman find her live savings, which by the looks of it totalled about $80 dollars. One is a dance instructor, the other, I think is in real estate. They have total chemistry. And by chemistry I mean it’s like a lab rat and a scientist type of chemistry.

She finds out that his client wants to buy her dance studio and turn it into something.

I think he’s going to surprise her by buying another building for her studio.

It’s a Christmas miracle.

ALL THE PLOTS ARE THE SAME.

But if you’d really grab me tight – all the way home I’d be warm

So we had our first major snowstorm here. I couldn’t tell if it was snowing hard, or if it was the 30kmh winds. I think it was the winds because where i had just shovelled it had drifted.

I think it snowed maybe 6-7 inches. Total. My dad says there’s about 4 inches on the ground where I shovelled last night.

Coffee.

I slept like a stone last night. Up just once to pee. And then I was out again. I needed a solid sleep like that.

My mom has some pretty wild cats, and this is what she has to do every night. I don’t think they even exchanged gifts or put up a tree last year or the year before. Somewhere in there is a gift for me and Crystal. When I saw it last night, I had tears in my eyes.

So yeah. Sigh. Tears. I love you
