Two Christmas Spirit stories.

The rabbit was let out of the bag and everyone hopped to help:

She stopped. She wrote her friends. Now she has a new friend.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Hope last night and today are special for you!! We had a nice time last night. We had a nice dinner. Then we played charades. Then we played Catch Phrase. Then we shared gifts. One of the things I enjoyed about charades was it really hit home to me how much the comedy classes helped. I am a lot better at charades then I was before the classes.

I got some nice gifts too. One of the big type of gifts this year is Oregon Duck gear. This is the first time in a lot of years that Oregon has been in the Rose Bowl so the whole state has gone overload on their support of the football team. My sister got me a nice pair of Oregon Duck pajamas. If I do meet Miss Right I hope she goes quakers over the pajamas. I also got a nice tool set. Plus Mom gave me a hundred bucks and a bunch of socks. I also scored a nice shirt and tie.

The gift from heaven went over well. "You can have anything I have but you can't have my woman." That may be a sexist statement but Mom and dad are from a different generation and that was what Dad always said and Mom always loved the phrase. That is how the card from heave started. Written in what looked like dad's writing. It was a special way to end the evening. I think, however, this may be the last year I do it.

I did most of the time bite my tongue at the game circle last night but I completely failed to make it through the entire evening keeping quiet and take one for peace and the team. I will expand on this in another post. To much history and to little time to write about it today. Believe me I tried. And when I did indicate to the offending relative that she had crossed the invisible line it got better. We will see at another family get together today. Wish me luck and not only send me good thoughts and vibes but send me the courage to bite me tongue for peace and harmony today and include a few band aids to cover the holes in my tongue that will be created!

How was your Christmas? What did Santa bring you? Peace On Earth and Goodwill Towards Men and Women?
