Signing off for the holidays

13 December 2010 4 Comments

Barring something unexpected and earth-shattering (well, aside from my singing), I am not expecting to post much, if anything, until January.

Weirdly, my shopping is already done, so I will not be out on Christmas Eve as I usually am, trading secret desperation-filled looks with other Christmas Eve shoppers. If you are out that night, know that I am with you in spirit. Do not buy the karaoke machine; there is a reason it’s the only fully-stocked item in the store. No one wants it.

May Christmas morning find everything you ever wanted under your tree. If you happen to open boxes that contain a spray-in bed liner, a weight-distribution hitch, or a back-up camera, Santa has clearly confused your house for mine. Email me, and I will let you know where you can send my presents. In return, I will send you the wool socks and tins of multi-flavored popcorn that incorrectly found their way under my tree under my fake tree next to a drawing of a tree on my wall to the corner where I’ve been stashing gifts.

If you do not celebrate Christmas at all, come on by on the 25th. We’ll have some lasagna and watch a Ghostbusters marathon.

However you plan to spend the next few weeks, I hope everything goes as well for you as it seems to be going for me.

And, seriously, the weight-distribution hitch—it has my name on it. Call me. Let’s sort that mix-up out.

I hope Santa gets that gifty switcheroo straightened out asap! Please keep your eyes open for 4-5 tandems of sand and some crush and run - those are mine smile

Happy holidays and best wishes to you for the New Year!!

If Santa delivers anyone a cute Haflinger, it was supposed to go to my address.

Santa always seems to leave my LQ trailer parked outside someone else’s house. Just drop me a line, I’ll be by to pick it up.

What can you say. The guy is getting old.

Marlene, we can bleach Ro’s coat and mane. She’s got a decent winter coat—she can pretend to be a Halflinger. You can borrow her for a couple weeks (but not keep her… sorry!)

I can’t believe Santa has messed up so many peoples’ presents. There must be a Better Elf Bureau or something we can complain to…
