Christmas With a Capital "C"

Looking forward to Christmas? These young men comprise a group called Go Fish. Enjoy their video/song.

On Marriage...

Room Temperature

Some hoist the windows, gasp for air,
While others find it chilly.
Some turn up thermostats a hair,
While others think them silly.

Some like it cold, some like it hot,
Some freeze, while others smother.
And by some fiendish, fatal plot,
They marry one another.

Life is Often Too Seriously Taken

So... for that reason, I'm going to post a silly poem from time-to-time. These first several will each be taken from a small booklet entitled, Lighten Up! 100 Funny Little Poems, compiled and edited by Bruce Lansky.

Slight Mistake

So I took his horse

And had it shot.

When I returned

The Prince wailed, "What?

Shot my horse?

You stupid clod!

I said to go and have it shod!"

Grandchild Painting #5

This is an acrylic rendition of the last of my grandchildren to receive a painting/drawing of themselves for Christmas. Hope she likes it!!! :-)


Love you, A!

Gingerbread Christmas!

The local Art Association board asked people to decorate gingerbread houses (already baked and assembled by some wonderful people) to be sold to local businesses as a fundraiser. Please enjoy the photos below... hopefully they've all been decorated by now! :-)

This is "mine."
Actually, a friend and I decorated it together. What do you think?

What a fun day! :-)
Are you looking forward to a special holiday season? Any special Christmas plans in the works?
