Don’t list all your sins, just the ones that are fun.

Ate a little too much and face-timed with some relatives.
My list :
• I played Della in our neighborhood theater production of Gift Of The Magi (Zoom version)
• I gave all my Christmas bonus to the Salvation Army.
• I watched every holiday movie I could find on Netflix.
• I went snow camping.
• I drank eggnog until I had visions.
• I forgave someone.
Christmas Eve- Helped my mom a bit but mostly rested with an ice pack. I feel terrible I didn’t help more but it was easier when I was medicated.
Christmas Day (tomorrow)- I am working 10:30am- 7:00pm and my brother is coming over. We are doing presents after 7
I have many Christmas movies and episodes on dvd, mostly ones I recorded from tv.
I am one of the believers that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Even though only the first two take place at Christmas time, I believe in watching all movies of a collection. This year I noticed that the third movie does have a brief reference to Christmas near the end, and that the fourth and fifth movies kind of relate to this year’s Christmas season.
I still cry watching Christmas In November, even though I know how it ends.
My favorite is It’s A Wonderful Life, and I still cry during parts of it.
Tomorrow I will be singing along with Heat Miser and Cold Miser, and later I’ll be singing, “Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you’ll be walking ‘cross the floor…”
I’ll GA the first one who can name the Christmas special that song is from. No googling!
I never liked that song. John Lennon was way over rated.
@gondwanalon The devil you say! Blasphemous knave! Sieze the scoundrel!
My list: went Christmas shopping with wife. Went Christmas shopping with wife. Again. Watched grand children climbing curtains until it was time to open their presents. Made peace with one annoying sister. Attmepting peace talks with another annoying and hoitsy toitsy sister. Went to work. Ahhh, peace and quiet. There is a God!
Yesterday was one local store for stocking stuffers and cleaned top to bottom to disinfect (safety first!) Now coffee and cooking soon. Oh and caught up on Mandolorian.
Yesterday worked from 10 to 12:30 (and got paid for a full day so that was great), then went to the supermarket to pick up last minute stuff. Went home and had stew I made in the new crock pot. Passed out and woke up in the middle of the night to wrap presents. Woke up to no power in the area, due to storms and high winds. Power came on, coffee’s on, devices are charging, and a good, calm day is ahead. Merry Christmas everyone!
Pacified older brothers regular annual insulting phone call.
Can tell what entertaining books he reads by the language he uses , then makes sure that
he ends his call with another insult , just to make sure that he wrecks any enjoyment in my
life which is his real motive.
His latest books that he reads are Medieval Detective stories.
So when I texted “why do you always have to insult before hanging up?”
His laughter and reply was get this……
“Oh it must be my” INTELLECTUAL ENHANEMENT LIQUIDS ” speaking? (Booze)
I told him that its not working…ha ha
He then stated that “THERE IS NO MERRIMENT IN THE AREA”....Lol
Then ended in degrading my intelligence before hanging up.
His way of say Merry Christmas, I guess , or trying to impress with his use of language?
The world is made up of entertaining individuals and this is his attempt, I guess.
Merry Christmas to all!
@Inspired_2write: I commend you for even answering the phone when he calls. I wouldn’t answer it, and save myself the aggravation, and deny him the thrill of the insults.
@Patty_Melt The answer to your question about the Winter Warlock who becomes Mr. Winter is Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the 1970 Rakin Bass movie. One of my faves since it first premiered
@jca2 I see it as a way for me to stay calm and not get upset , at least on the call with him , by what he says.
Thereby undercutting his insult.
I just texted bye.
I suppose to take with wind out of his sails, to show him that its not going to work.
My other brother gets sucked into a verbal fight and this is what the older brother wanted.
@Inspired_2write: Still, I give you credit. I’d send a beautiful text, “Missed your call. Merry Christmas to you and good tidings for the new year!” and leave it at that. Then he could go have another drink or whatever he does, and try to find another victim.
@jca2
Thanks for that suggestion.
However I don’t want to lead him on. More texts/calls.
