Good morning everyone. Merry Christmas, from me, and mine to you and yours. We hope that y’all have a great day with friends and family. We’ll be heading out to Christmas lunch with my parents and grandmother in a couple of hours.

As a holiday tradition, I bought some Baileys yesterday afternoon, so we could help spread Christmas cheer today. Currently it’s mixed into our morning coffee. Yummy!

We have little to nothing planned for today other that lunch at the old folks home with my gramma, and then around 3, we’ll head over to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner. So we’ll hang out here until it’s time to info out into the arctic.

During that time, we’ll watch White Christmas.

I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams

So, I found the Muppet Family Christmas (with time accurate commercials) on YouTube. I’ve found my kryptonite. It’s nostalgia. The muppets singing Christmas carols, and having to overcome an obstacle.

I’m a mess. Happy, but a mess.

For Crystal it’s sweeping soundtracks, and majestic visuals.

Today, it’s hand puppets for me.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

Be safe, if you can, be with family or loved ones. Just be in the moment. ❤️

I only hope I won’t disappoint you when I’m here down on my knees

Good morning. Last night I forgot to take the trash out, because even though it’s thanksgiving, they still pick up the trash – on the holiday. Weird! So I dragged it out first thing.

Before coffee. Lol

I had more weird dreams all night, but none that I can remember this time. I did wake up a couple of times thinking that would should try to remember them. The only one I remember was the last one. My gramma got COVID, who gave it to my mom, who gave it to me, who gave it to My dad. I then had to go over to Crystal and tell her through the door, that she may have COVID as well. She opened the door and we made out with grabbing and pulling and all the stuff you shouldn’t do on the front step.

Since today is thanksgiving, I’ll be making green bean casserole, and homemade noodles for dinner. Lemme tell you, I’d rather be having turkey meatballs with Crystal. If it meant I could be with her, I’d eat yams, and cranberry sauce. I’d have a plate just of those items.
