Welcome, Welcome, Christmas Day! December 25, 2011

Every year, we watch the Grinch. Every year we smile as he puzzles and puzzles until his puzzler is sore.
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
The Grinch can’t understand it. Under cover of darkness, he had managed to steal the presents, the trees, and the wreaths. He had taken all the food for the feast ~ from the last can of Who Hash to the rare Who Roast Beast.
But his nocturnal efforts hadn’t stopped Christmas from coming. It came.
Somehow or other, it came just the same.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day.
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
The words repeat . . . of peace on Earth, good will to men.

Thanks, SIG! We had a lovely few days with my sister and her family ~ games, food, music, food, beach, food, pool, food, movies, food, gifts, food.
And lotsa LAUGHTER too!

I had no access to the the internet yesterday, but one day late, I wish you a Merry Christmas anyway.
Thanks, William. Hope your day overflowed with Light, Love, and Laughter.
Thank you Nancy. Some people from my Church invited me to their place for Christmas dinner. I had an excellent time.
Lovely! Holiday warmth of the best sort. 😀
Christmas greetings!
Of course, old sourpuss Cromwell had a bit more success than The Grinch, for a while, but that didn’t last!
Maybe all the “Grinches” currently seated will turn over a new leaf for the New Year . . . or get “unseated.” 😉
love the Grinch and Dr. Seuss – magical moments.
Always fun to watch at this time of year. 😀
You’re lucky – every year we get to watch The Dam Busters! At least we used to but I think the UK is gradually coming out of the ration book era – now we get to see Dr Who specials 😉
Ha Ha! We have the Grinch on DVD so that we are no longer at the mercy of the Networks!
LoL – I have some great things on DVD – not sure if the lad is allowed to watch the though 😉
We waited years before being able to share some of our favorites (Caddyshack and Animal House) with our nieces and nephews.
It was worth the wait . . . they loved them!
So cute, touching!
Hope your holidays were a delight, cuhome!
Love this.
Hope you’re enjoying the tail-end of 2011 as 2012 readies to burst onto the stage! 😀
Maybe the zebra had something to do with it 😉 (those little tubby Santas are too cute)
Thanks, BB! Zebras often inspire heart-expanding giggles. 😆
Merry, merry Christmas! Hope you had a blast! 🙂
Lovely. Sounds like you enjoyed some family time too!
