New Stuff!

The 12 Projects of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, I started am-bish-us-ly
to wire-wrap a partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas, I started am-bish-us-ly
knitting two socks,
And put aside the unfinished pear tree

On the third day of Christmas, I started am-bish-us-ly
three batches of cookies, knitting two socks,
And glared at the unfinished pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas, I started am-bish-us-ly
Writing Christmas cards, ate up half the cookies, unravelled one sock,
And accidentally sat on the pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas, I started am-bish-us-ly
Poured myself a stiff drink, sent email wishes, went to Walmart for socks and cookies,
And tossed out the d4mned pear tree

Merry Christmas one and all!

Hope your holiday plans are going well and that you are in fine shape, stockings stuffed, gifts wrapped, turkey planned, or tickets booked and suitcases packed. Whatever floats your boat!
