I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. We're still trying to shake ourselves into consciousness, over here. Presents have been put away, coffee introduced intravenously, and I've sneaked away so I can post this weekend's reviews. It had been a silent Christmas wish of mine that they'd be done by today, so you can imagine my delight when I saw them wrapped in dirty brown paper, sitting on my doorstep this morning. I'm fairly please with what people are saying. I'll let you read while I go melt some more chocolate to apply as a facial I can eat off...
A Christmas Review:
Brought to you by the makers of chocolate and the Concerned Citizens League

"Butch and Sundance only broke one thing, this year, but when I figure out who their mother is, we're gonna have a us a little talk. She owes me some superglue and a partial Baby Jesus arm."-- Great Grandma
"She kept asking and asking, but, like I told her, "I don't care if you're out of cigarettes, you can't have the frankincense." --- The Third Wise Man
"I don't know how the baby spread poop on half his face, by 8am. But it was kind of like having a small, smelly phantom of the opera." --- Husband
"Initially, I'd planned to stop, but there was so much clutter, I couldn't get into the house. I hope those people took some initiative and got those kids some presents." --Santa
"Even though I changed the return address on our Christmas card, they still showed up, first thing in the morning. What good is moving them out, if they stop by every five seconds?" --- Paige's Mom
"She just kept yelling, "Someone ring up this stuff up and wrap it. And careful with that jar of sauce. It's not for you, unless we're somehow related now or you're a delicious rack of ribs."...It was pretty terrifying. For a minute, I thought I wasn't going to be able to spend Christmas with my family." --- Barbeque Store Clerk
"I just kept asking, "Do you know who's kids these are? They don't have a tag."...I just hope I put them in the right car." --- An Aunt
"They brought the Oreo balls? Huh...that explains the taste." --- A cousin
"She kept walking around, asking everyone, "Would you like a baby for Christmas?" and trying to put her kids on random people's laps." --- Church Goer
"I haven't been this tired since that time I tried to walk to the mailbox and back." ---Paige
"I think I've almost figure out how to put this thing together." --- Husband
"We give it three out of four cookies....but only because we ate the fourth one already." --- Butch and Sundance
"A triumph!" --- The Retailers Who Got Our Money
"By far the best Fourth of July we've ever had....wait...why are you shaking your head?" --- Paige to Husband
How did everyone fair this weekend?
Until Next Time, Readers!












Would you please send the instructions on how to make the chocolate facial--as soon as possible? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment that nobody would accept even one baby, even in church: It is entirely possible that what kept our marriage together in its early years was that neither of us wanted custody of the kids!
It was such a dandy Christmas, I just don't even know what to say about it that you wouldn't delete.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Made out like bandits, we did! (say that with a Scottish pirate accent. It helps) and you ca pawn your kids off on me anytime lady! To bad you don't live here.. Oh the fun we would have!
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Sounds like a pretty typical Christmas at the Kellerman house.
ReplyDeleteFishducky - That's what my mom and dad had worked out, as well. They decided that whoever left, first, had to take all ten of us with them...very tempting, don't you think??...:) And yes, I will send you the directions for the facial. But go get started by running out and grabbing the biggest back of Snickers you can find...
ReplyDeleteLalalalalalola - Next year, I'm sending you Oreo balls and some rum. I'll make it a personal mission that you have a spectacular Christmas...:)
Melynda - Arrrr! Good to hear. I wish you and Elisa lived here or vice versa; it would be wonderful!
Tracy - Right, you are...LOL I hope you guys had a fantastic one, yourselves!
Hahahaha, sounds like great reviews to me! Although, I will hesitate to buy Phantom tickets next time they are in town just from the image you wonderfully portrayed....
ReplyDeletePadded Cell - Definitely nix the Phantom tickets. I don't think I could actually go now....LOL
