Bienvenue!

The realm in which you entered was once called Red Balloons, and before that, dubbed Waning Candles. It is now Joie de Vivre. Do not fret, though! I am still the same, and if I do not write with the same finesse, then I hope that it has improved. I also hope that you will Gain much, Learn much, Laugh much and Love much while to accompany me through my journalistic journey!!

{eggnog?}

My two brothers, my father and I were out today shopping for my mom. We passed a Steak & Shake advertising eggnog milkshakes, which began this conversation.

I said, "Well... I've never actually tried eggnog before, but that doesn't sound all that appetizing..." My brother answered, "I've tried it at a friend's house before. I really didn't like it." Through all of this, my dad was listening, amused from the front seat, as I observed, "It's weird that it isn't very good. It's the drink of the holidays, really!" My brother thought for a moment, then said,

"Yeah. It doesn't make me very holly."

We all paused for a minute, thinking that statement over, before dad scrunched up his face and said, "Don't you mean jolly?" I would have said something, as well, but I was too caught up in laughing my tail off to force words out of my mouth.


Aah, the Christmas time. I probably won't be able to post for the rest of the week, so this will be my Christmas post until further notice.

Hope that your holidays have been grand, and that this Christmas is a great one. Hallelujah, Christ is born!!!

I wish to leave you with a few reworded titles from famous Christmas songs. You have to figure out which song it's actually talking about. We went through these one dinner time: they are so fun!!! Let's see how many you can guess!!

~ O, member of the round table with missing areas.

~ Vehicular homicide was committed on Dad's mom by a precipitous darling.

~ Wanted in December: top forward incisors.

~ Sir Lancelot with Laryngitis.

~ Oh small Israeli urban center.

~ We are Kong, Leer, and Nat Cole.

~ Duodecimal enumeration of the passage of the yuletide season.

~ Leave and broadcast from an elevation.

~Listen, the winged heavenly messengers are proclaiming tunefully.

~ As guardians of the wooly animals protected their charges in the dark hours.

~ I beheld a trio of nautical vessels moving in this direction.

~ Do you perceive the same vibrations which stimulate my auditory sense organ?

~ Parent was observed osculating a red-coated unshaven teamster

~ May the Deity bestow an absence of fatigue to mild male humans.

And just for kicks.... (this was the one I couldn't get, for some reason...)

~ An apartment of two psychiatrists.

Bwahahahaha!!!

Well, perhaps not until the New Year, friends!!! Ta!!!

Be blessed in your endeavors,
