Ah, what the hell.  I'm in the Christmas spirit.

Hey @JUAN !  Thanks for putting up the Ellgab version of our Christmas Tree. I knew we couldn't rely on @Bart Ell or @KSM to do it this year. I've got a few goodies to drop off as Christmas gets nearer

This will be the first and the lamest. But @ShayP will understand. He may think it's stupid but he'll understand

If anyone wants a good cry, watch Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey.  1977 stop motion animated movie.  A young ShayP cried when Nestor's mom died.

Off to the IGA to get some Christmas cheer.

Around here, we don’t know anything about that white mess.  We know about timbales and altered chords.

Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year.
Ski shop encounter most interesting.
Had his number but never the time,
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls. Trim those trees.
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.
I just need to catch my breath;
Christmas by myself this year

Calendar picture. Frozen landscape,
Chill this room for twenty-four days.
Evergreens. Sparkling snow.
Get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time saw him again
Would have been good to go for lunch.
Couldn't agree when we were both free.
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't of course 'till summer time,
Out to the beach to his boat.
Could I join him?
No. This time it was me;
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
Of course I am excited.
Tonight's the night I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight.
Last minute have-to-dos:
A few cards, a few calls
Because it's RSVP.
No, thanks. No party lights.
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
Turn down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party.
Waited all night for him to show.
This time his car wouldn't go.
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late.
Trudge on home to celebrate.
In a quiet way unwind.
Doing Christmas right this time.

And he has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey.
Already in the oven, nice and hot.
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot.
So on with the boots
Back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.
'Spending this one alone,' he said.
'Give me a break, this year's been crazy.'
I said 'Me too, but why are you..
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed.
Caught on to what was happening.
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.

Am I the only one that can't stand that George Michael Christmas song?  Also, Mariah Carey?  I noticed she has a special coming up.  Ugh.

Oh, and Dr. Seuss' The Grinch can suck it as well.

I'm actually in the Christmas spirit this year.  Occasionally my bitterness needs to be let out.

So, what are your Christmas day plans?

Anybody..

I am going to make a delicious roast chicken stuffed with lemon, thyme, rosemary, and seasonable seasonings rubbed inside and out. This will make for delicious bastings. I realized late last night that in my haste when packing to move that I failed to pack certain things like a BAKING DISH/Roasting pan! A cookie sheet will have to suffice, and it will.
 
Accompanying the chicken will be roasted fingerling potatoes and Brussel sprouts. I'll have stuffing on the side, and of course gravy. Dessert will be a chocolate-chip-cookie-cake.

Booze? Is that what you're asking me? BOOZE? Well, yes, copious amounts of various winter ales and lagers, not to mention GUINNESS. Throw in some Irish Whiskey (good stuff) and some GIN (good stuff) and I'll quickly develop a WC Fields nose.

I do not yet have a anyone to fuck put up some shelves for, so therefore I shall enjoy all the above alone. And that's OK. More for me and V. Speaking of V (Vera) she'll make off like a bandit with chicken scraps 'n such mixed in with her regular giant breed kibbles.

Merry Christmas @KSM and I hope that 2023 will be a more awesome year for you and your family.

Yum, yum, as they told Grandpa Jones.
