The Goose is Getting Fat

"Deer", James Jean


It has been spoken with many a co-workers, friends, and family, that Christmas has come just too darn quickly this year. Though for many, many, many of us, that is a sentiment felt year after year, I feel that this year it especially rings true with the disappearance of September.

2005 Christmas Revelations:

1. Chocolate is beleived to be the fundamental required gift of many a persons during the season. I currently have about 5pds of the deliciously evil stuff in my home, and I'm sure to receive more.

2. Company Christmas parties can become really fun when the invitation list consists of only those who work at the company and not those that the company is smoozing (AKA kissing up to). Oh, that and also about 3 Vodka Collins can do the same.

3. While CK confesses that he really, really loved the "Adventures of Superman : Season One" DVD I gave him as a gift, it will nver ever beat his own gift of getting a car. (Finally!!)

4. Speaking of CK, it has also come to my attention that he has a hidden power to seduce the girls, which did not make Satcey too happy. ;)

5. Satcey's friend Em is a fun woman to hang with...especially when she's drinking.

6. Santa and the wife are apparently having marriagable problems. (Well, either that or she doesn't mind his loose ways.)


All in all, this has been one heck of a year with surprise after surprise after surprise. The year in reveiw blog will come next week, so instead,

HAVE A HECK OF A HAPPY HOLIDAY!!

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

HAVE A GRANDE OL' TIME!!

Oh, and good luck with the family. Now I shall end with my all time favorite Christmas song (sung to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas) which is also a new Orleans classic!
