christmas tree light tradition

Posted on December 25, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Things spouses say to each other. 😃

Since I was a child, a family tradidtion was to leave the Christmas tree lights on all night from Christmas Eve night into Christmas day. No particular reason for it, but I liked it so I always continued it.

Last night spouse forgets and turns off the lights at bedtime, so that left it wide open for me to sigh and say, “another family tradition MERCILESSLY shat upon!” 😂

All I had to do was walk over to the switch and turn them back on. 😈

It’s all done in fun. It really is! ❤️

It’s that Stille Nacht, AKA Noche de Paz.

My spouse has another Christmas music gig here. I’m in First United Methodist Church of High Point, NC, today.

Mighty nice in here.

I finally got the lights deployed.

My twinkling red star that played “L’Internationale” and blinking hammer and sickle wouldn’t light up this year, so I had to improvise.

masked santas

Somebody posted a pic of their Christmas tree today with ornaments that are a Santa with mask. Some people lovin’ this stuff.

Those ornaments gotta be made in one of those countries we’ve been instructed to hate.

He has uploaded quite a few. Some of those instruments are over 100 years old!

As a child, it was thrilling to go Christmas shopping with my family downtown. Stores glittering and music thumping inside. 🎄

Now it’s bankrupt shopping malls and Target. 🎯

christmas mock

Posted on November 22, 2020 by | Leave a comment

The corporate kindness is amazing! 🙄

T-Mobile donates to Feeding America if you play with their app and do certain things on social media. So passionate about giving back. Feeding America usually shows somebody handing a child a to-go box. 😮

Walmart has free Thanksgiving dinner, but you have to pay for it and wait for cash back on some 3rd party app. At least it includes a 2-L Coke and a can of Campbell’s.

I just feel the need to do my thing and mock a little.

Add some Christmas Child Operation Blessing, and you’d be cooking with gas. 🔥 🎄

beginning to look a lot like christmas at the white house

Posted on December 2, 2017 by | 1 comment

I read today that the East Colonnade of the White House looks like the Lair of Krampus.

The inspiration for this post was this fun read on au.org.
