Only 5 Days of Christmas!?

I write to you on this extremely windy wintery day….it’s absolutely lovely to me, as I just enjoyed an episode or two, or four, or 20 of ‘Gilmore Girls’ and had a spot of tea.

Earlier this morning, I took it upon myself to shovel my driveway, shower, and get ready for church.  Well, truthfully, I just wanted to see if I could make it to the church, I didn’t actually intend on going to the service today, I had other things on my mind instead.  So crazy, and so heathen-like, I know!

During my prep time for church, I was reminded of one of my absolute favorite TV shows when I was growing up, ‘A Different World’.  It was that episode where Whitley was playing the role of Scrooge and was visiting Christmas Past, Present, and Future.  Anyways, since my favorite time of year is CHRISTmas, I was totally remembering their rendition of the “12 Days of Christmas”.  Hmmm, however, because of their limited amount of time or lack of writing staff, they widdled it down to only 5 days of Christmas.  It is with great joy that I share their 5 days with you, my wonderful friends:

On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

MC Hammer CD

On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Two butts a bumping (go back to the first day and add “to my” before the line)

On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Three French Kisses (go back to the second and then first day)

On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Four Flunking Freshman (if you don’t get it by now, I cannot help you!)

On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Five Onion Rings……(you know what to do)

Anyways, just thought I would share that with you wonderful people.   Merry CHRISTmas.

Tis’ The Season…For The Same Wish

Good Evening.  Gee, I feel like Alfred Hitchcock right now.  Well, wait…not really.  I mean, he’s dead and buried; I am not quite there yet.

So anyways…tis’ the season for the same wish.  Peace on Earth.  Because I will be enjoying the sultry sounds of Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler tomorrow night, I felt it was good to review some of their masterpieces this evening.  I came across their song with multiple titles – ‘How Does It End’ or ‘Idea #21′ or ‘Not Too Late’….

Let it simmer while I finish listening to “North Pole Man” by them as well….

Till we lay these weapons at your feet, Lord
How long, how long
Till we call all hatred obsolete, Lord
How long, how long
Till we walk like lovers thru Bethlehem
How long, how long
Till the lion lies down with the lamb, Lord
How long, how long Too late
I know it’s not too late
To wrestle with this angel
Higher and higher
Don’t let go
Higher and higher
Before we know
How does it end
How does it end
We’re all riding on the last train
Trying to find our way home again Till we wash the blood from the hands of our fathers
How long
We’re all sisters and brothers, sons and daughters
How long, how long
Our eyes all shine in different colors we cry, Lord
How long
Our dreams our tears are all the same by and by, Lord
How long, how long Too late
I know it’s not too late
To climb up Jacob’s ladder
Higher and higher
Don’t let go
Higher and higher
Before we know
How does it end
How does it end
We’re all riding on the last train
Trying to find our way home again
It’s not too late Now…you lovely people…go buy me presents.  That will bring me some peace.  

For those that don’t know me…I am seriously kidding and seriously serious at the same time.  Let’s practice some peace amongst ourselves during this holiday season
