Feliz Navidad -- I'm Outtie, Yo!

Alright you guys, I'm done blogging until the first Monday of the new year -- though I'll likely be lurking for the rest of the week (still have more of the Be Jolly blogfesters to get around to!)

In case I don't get around to you sometime in the next couple of days (and you haven't already hit the eggnog a little heavy yourself) I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy, happy new year. I know for some of you this is a difficult time, and I truly hope you're able to find some strength and good times even through the bad stuff!

As for me, I'm going to eat lots of food, read lots of books and send Santa Claus a reminder text message about my Christmas Wish List.

I'm really hoping he leaves me one of these under my tree.

That way, maybe in a few years time I can have my very own one of these.

But if that isn't possible at this time, I'm more than willing to settle for one of these.

Until next year, folks!!

"Would You Rather" Wednesday -- Christmas Edition

Check out my Be Jolly By Golly entry here. 

Now, on to today's bizniss...

Would You Rather Wednesday Quickie -- The Rules are simple. I ask a "Would you Rather" style question with two options, throw in my two cents and then you all do the same. The answers are our opinions, which means. . . there are no right or wrong answers! 

Would you rather be given the opportunity to relive the best Christmas/holiday from your past all over again OR would you prefer to have an advanced screening of your best Christmas/holiday yet to come? 

My two cents:

Time to put the writing aside for a bit and have a little fun with the upcoming holidays. You can check out the rest of the gang participating in the  Be Jolly By Golly Blogefest!

Though room is limited this year, I've managed to find a spot to squeeze in a little Christmas Tree love.

Though summer is months away, it wouldn't be my tree without...

I was hoping to rent a real-life reindeer to help add a little authenticity to the decorations, but with the economy the way it is this was all I could afford.

Cannolis aren't typically considered a treat reserved solely for Christmastime in Italian culture . . . unless you live in my family. We're lazy, and cannolis take a LOT of work to make!  So, needless to say, they don't last long!!

And last, but not least. . .  

No one will ever be able to convince me that "A Christmas Story" isn't the best. Christmas. Movie. Ever. 

Even if Ralphie is all growed up now.

So there you have it folks! I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful time for the holidays!! (No matter what holiday you celebrate)


To all my fellow Blogfesters, can't wait to get around this week and check out your entries!!
