Fa, la, la, la, la

Rumor has it, if it isn't perfect this year, there is another one next year. Don't let the stress eat you alive.

Smiles,

And are you going to follow your own advice? :)

Actually, I was thinking of celebrating only Yule this year (winter solstice) just to see how many people get bent out of shape because I'm saying "Happy Yule" instead of "Merry Christmas". Maybe I'll build a big bonfire out in the front yard out of someone's old oak kitchen cabinets. . .
At least, today we're having a BLIZZARD and it is like Christmas and winter. . . last week, it was 65 degrees, downright balmy. I went outside last Friday to get the mail and saw these people crouching by the neighbors bushes. I was alarmed until I did a double take and saw that it was their life-size nativity scene with Mary and Joseph hovering over baby Jesus (Baby God, as Darcy puts it.) I thought, what the - until I remembered then it was, indeed, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Sigh. Can I put the lifesize crucifix up the day after my birthday this year?

Bee: How about going ecumenical for Good Friday/Easter and put up a giant egg-laying bunny carrying a cross?
But for this season, lay your hands on some Tom Lehrer and lean back and listen to his Xmas ditty. Belief me, it puts you in the right mood.
