Long day, but it was a fun one! Since we were celebrating a birthday there was cake - peanut butter cheesecake, to be exact - oh my gosh was it ever good! I am tired - should sleep real well tonight!!! I hope you were able to try the holiday chai tea and coffee mixer Carl made - so very yummy - a blend of chai tea and coffee with a hint of chocolate. I'm going to try and get the recipe from him.

Have a MERRY evening!!!!!!!

We have such talent on this forum: operas by Binger, countdown by Crown, jokes by Made and Xmas, and now stories by MerryMistletoe!!! Totally loved it!!!

 

[Seawaters]

To that list of talent needs to be added: AMD, siggie designer and all-around super hero!!!

A merry legend in my own mind some would say. HaHaHoHo!

I made this banner to the male version of myself and turned it into a song.

Based on the song "I Am Woman". I gave it a merry little Christmas twist. I switch song lyrics around quite a bit in the shower and turn them into Christmas tunes. I even did it with a David Bowie song.

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

You are making me cry!!!

That's okay too. When I walk around the survivor lap with my co-captain, she picks me every year because she knows I don't mind if she cries. She suffers from survivor guilt because quite a few of her relatives have not won their battles. I don't try and stiffle it, I am content to let her remember the pain, the fear and then the victory, and as people applaud the survivors, the joy for life returns to her.

You can cry, scream or laugh and I'll still be here!

I can't believe I'm sharing this one, it's my least favourite of all the songs I switched around, but it's bad enough to be a hit with this camel loving crowd. HaHa. I mean that in the nicest way.

Captain Christmas By: Auntie Mistletoe (Based on the song, I Am Woman by: Helen Reddy and Ray Burton)

I am the captain, hear me roar
In Christmas I implore
And I know what lurks ‘round the bend
‘Cause I’ve seen it all before
And it’s making my heart sore
Nobody’s ever gonna spoil Christmas again.

Oh yes, I am in disguise
And in my suit I’ll remain
Yes, I’ll save y’all the grief
As I venture out again
If I have to
I can conquer anything
I am strong (strong)
I am unstoppable (unstoppable)
I am Captain Christmas

You can celebrate with glee
‘Cause you can count on me
More determined to save our festive joys
And I’ll protect Santa too
I’m not a afraid of what nay-sayer’s will do
‘Cause I depend on eggnog to make me soar

Oh yes, I am in disguise
And in my suit I’ll remain
Yes, I’ll save y’all the grief
As I venture out again
If I have to
I can conquer anything
I am strong (strong)
I am unstoppable (unstoppable)
I am Captain Christmas

I am Captain Christmas watch me go
See me battling my grinchy foe
As I spread my love for Christmas ‘cross the land
And I’m still a new super hero
With a longing to show
Until I make the whole world understand

Oh yes, I am in disguise
And in my suit I’ll remain
Yes, I’ll save y’all the grief
As I venture out again
If I have to
I can conquer anything
I am strong (strong)
I am unstoppable (unstoppable)
I am Captain Christmas

Oh, I am Captain Christmas
I love eggnog (eggnog)
I love decorated trees (Christmas trees)

I am Captain Christmas
I love eggnog (eggnog)
I love decorated trees (Christmas trees)
I’ll save Christmas for you!

Remarks will be brief, I'm on my Kindle ...

I had my annual review here at work yesterday. It's not typically my most favorite day; we usually just talk about areas where I need to improve. Yesterday, though, my supervisor was very complimentary of my work and the experience I bring to the table. He even talked about future promotions and other advancements.

Wow! My arm still hurts from patting myself on the back the rest of the day.

Good for you!

hey ya'll! well only 2 more days till the weekend, i can't wait!
ok, if you must know that was a pic of carl w/ his roommate george. that shellie was driving them to the pines & they happened to meet up w/ made as he was leaving the barber shop. i swear i think they had all been in the spiked coffee already because as snowflake was walking harlowe she heard them howling out to made to jump in. & yes he did have cah's laundry w/ him to return. any hoo, made jumps in, snowflake & harlowe gave them a big wave & they were off. up the road came xmas on his way to pick up the kids w/ his crutches sticking out the car window, the crutches got caught on a lamp post, & wouldn't ya' know it, the crutches went flying in the air. star & brent were coming from her mom's party. brent being such a good soccer player totally blocked the crutches from star. bless his heart! then bradmac came out to see what was going on in town, ya' know, since he's mayor. xmas had turned & was yelling for his crutches, brad takes them to him in the street & turned to look.....here they came again, shellie, carl, george, & made going around in circles lost. they had called lauriebear for directions but every right turn they were to make ended up a left turn. iliam & cm3 came by & were cleaning up the mess from the lamp post so that the furbabies wouldn't get cuts. carl is singing jingle bells & george singing rudolph the red nosed reindeer (as it's rudolph day). gramsey & meceka were on their way to the pines & decided to follow shellie. tex & cah came in their Big TEXAS truck & in the back were,snowflake, harlowe, sugar, dawg, kerstig, sw1dennis, crown, auntie, kerstig, merrycarey, ann, & merrymistletoe. they pulled over, loaded the rest of us up, caught up w/ shellie, carl, george, made, meceka, &gramsey & we were all on our way to the pines. we had the radio on listening to rjd playing Christmas music so we all joined in headed up to the pines. as wee get there binger & jayish are there to welcome us & that binger is binging!!
so there ya' have it. the whole scoop on the pic!!! hahahahahahahahahaha

First operas, now a serial ... that's entertainment!

Good evening!

Long day, but it was a fun one! Since we were celebrating a birthday there was cake - peanut butter cheesecake, to be exact - oh my gosh was it ever good!

You're right---Carl's blend is something special! I didn't think I'd go for something with coffee in it, but Carl made it work!




Auntie---the Captain Christmas song is great! You need to get someone to make a recording of it for MCR.

As I read the words, I could just hear Helen Reddy singing it!!!

So, on this Rudolph Day, I was asked if I was "nuts about Christmas"?

:rudolph:YEPPERS! That's why I just settled in at the Pines.

So you could say were all Pine nuts..

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Listen up MMC! I am here to do all the cleaning and laundry! :lol:

Auntie, since I have become the maid here on MMC go ahead and dive into that coffee cereal. You can stay up for a week singing Christmas Carols to keep me going while I clean! I might need a keg of that coffee myself.

Well, since I can dive into that coffee blend breakfast of java champions, allow me to perform a song for y'all.

Oh yeah, it's Christmas Karaoke at the Shispering Pines - gather around!

A little word of explanation, as soon as I heard about all the fevers poppin' up around town, I got this tune I made up about four years ago stuck in my head. Now, perhaps it will stick in yours for a moment or two. Before you read the lyrics, you might want to click on the link to get the tune in your head, unless it's already there.

I've Got Christmas Fever - a little song I made up in the shower - to the well known tune - Fever (You Give Me Fever)

Never knew how much I loved Christmas
Never knew how much others cared
When I put my lights around the tree
I get a fever that's not easily compared.

I've got Christmas fever.

Fever when I hear a Christmas tune
Fever sipping eggnog in the morning
Fever reading Christmas books in the afternoon.

I've got Christmas fever.

My eyes light up when Santa at the mall calls my name
'cause I know I'm on his "good list" at the North Pole
If you didn't make it, you only have yourself to blame.
Bless my soul, I love ya, Christmas - you take my heart away!
Wrapping presents or chatting with the festive folks
At the Shispering Pines - it always makes my day.

I've got Christmas Fever.
I've got Christmas Fever - fever.

No sorry you can't buy this stuff!


May the fever be with you!!!

Just checking in real quick to say goodnight. I am off to take a quick nap before. I had a good time at the Pines tonight. Hope you all are enjoying yourselves. Talk to you all tomorrow!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:razz: Regarding the "substitute teacher comments" ... Once upon a time, I was in Junior High and my dear God-Mother was the substitute teacher. It took me three years to tell her how I felt that day. Just to show she wasn't giving me favourtism, she wound up picking on me the whole time. I told her I felt like she didn't care at all about me. I wasn't looking to get special attention, just the same respect she gave the other students. She was very apologetic. Then she said, "I thought you would have treated me better too. I noticed you wrote several names on the attendance sheet that were characters from TV shows and former Prime Minister's and Presidents." Ohhhhhhhhhhh - I didn't realize my penmanship was that obvious. So, we both let each other down, but then picked each other up just by sharing and wound up laughing about it.

Goodnight Sugar.


Y'all will have to carry on with the carols without me, I have to encourage O'Malley to do his stoutness exercises before beddy-bye time.

There's plenty of coffee left - help yourselves to the eggnog and cranberry scones!

 

[made582]

Coach- No offense but it's Jersey burning time!!!!!! Everyone meet me at the fire pit!!!!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Excellent Christmas Fever a la Peggy Lee song, AMD!!!

 

[xmas365]

I am going to say good night now, I haven't had a good day with my foot, the pain is worse it has spread from my heel to the center of my foot. I will take it easy the rest of the night. I have my big dr appt Friday, I am very nervous about it now.

Have a good night!

You will be in my prayers! I will pray that your appointment brings you good news and that you are no longer in pain. Hope you get a good night's sleep!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Sing it, Auntie!

Seawaters, I am still happy for the reminder I have cookie cutters! =)

Made, since my grandson is a Patriots fan I can't attend the burning of the jersey out of respect to him. He is a fan because of his dad but I don't know why??? They are both from Dallas!!! My other grandson is a Cowboys fan like me! Yay! Both of my grandsons got bedding sets for Christmas from me, one Patriots, the other Cowboys. (Maybe I will show up, just don't tell him!)

Seriously, when it comes down to it, I haven't decided who I want to win the Super Bowl. Once the Cowboys are out of it I don't really care. :wink: But I will be watching it like I do every year!

Sorry to hear. I hope you feel better tomorrow!

 

[Seawaters]

CAH, How are you feeling? If you don't get better, GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Take care of yourself, Xmas.
