On The Tenth Day I Look Up And See…
This Galaxy is not watching you.
It’s actually two Galaxies that are dancing, and one day they will get to close and…
what’s the science term I’m looking for
here it is
KABOOM.
But until then they will dance together in Canis Major
and they will look
beautiful.

On Day Eight I actually enjoy Christmas Shopping…so tell me, how did that trip to Mall Hell Go for you?
I went Christmas Shopping last night.
To be more specific, I gave my husband a list of things I wanted and we went to the best store in the world…
We went to Archie McPhee’s.
Archie’s is home to wonderful things like Crazy Cat Lady and Jesus Action Figures and Pirate Lunchboxes
It is well stocked with things like zombie and pirate finger puppets and bacon and egg bandages.
In other words, it is a big piece of heaven on earth.
Where else would you stand patiently and wait for your turn to check out a shelf full of things like mini-flying monkeys, screaming pickles and Angry Mob Play Sets?
I can tell you this much, there aren’t many stores you can go to right now that are crowded full of holidays shoppers where you can hear people laughing and having a good time as they take their turn to get from one aisle to the next.
I worked in a Mall for eight billion long punishing, unforgiving years. I haven’t enjoyed Christmas Shopping for years…that is YEARS.
Last night at Archie’s I had a good time, I could easily order from a catalog or go on line- but if you can- do what I am going to do from now on-stop in for a visit because its fun and during these unfunny times we could all use a few good laughs.

On day seven I doom my immortal soul
Today I was listening to Christmas Music on the radio when this song comes on and I’m not really paying attention until I hear:
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Well. This is feeling a little ominous I think to myself.
The singer goes on:
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see, she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.
I stand there in front of my radio with my hand over my mouth and tears are streaming down my face.
And I’ll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma’s gonna look so great.
I take a look around to make sure I am alone
I take my hand off my mouth and I start to laugh. I can’t help it.
Oh sweet God, this kid is buying shoes for a dead woman and this a Christmas song.
A CHRISTMAS SONG.
To add fuel to the fire
this kid is not any kid. Oh no. He’s a poor kid which means:
… his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
So this dirty poor kid is buying shoes for his Mother who might be going to meet Jesus.
I don’t know why this song sent me into hysterical fits of laughter. Maybe it’s because the song was so over the top and it was an obvious attempt to tug the heart strings of who… I mean, I’m drawing a blank here…who would be touched by a song like this?
All I know is that with my luck this is probably a true story and for reacting the way I did I’ m sure I’m going straight to Hell when I die.
Aren’t I?

Fede Alvarez, an unknown producer from Uruguay,created a video of a robot invasion and put it out on Youtube.
The video cost about 300.00 that’s three hundred dollars to make and the concept was snatched up by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures for THIRTY MILLION dollars.
Merry Christmas Mr. Alvarez
and you might as well have a Happy New Years too.

awesome ‘bots, don’t let Hollywood mess them up to much.

On Day Six I start to think outside the box.
A few days ago a co-worker of mine walked by my desk and commented on the Christmas Music that was playing on my radio.
He said something to the effect that he was not in the holiday Spirit and whenever he hears Christmas music he just wants to ask ‘why.’
I told him, ” I listen to it because I FEEL like it.”
You know, this year has been a struggle for me. I have not been throwing myself into the season the way I normally do and I truly enjoy Christmas Music…and nobody is going t Scrooge that for me.
Since the music incident I have decided to find fun ways to enjoy the holiday. Like, today I sent an e-card to Expedition 22 crew who are on board The International Space Station. NASA has these Holiday E-Cards that you can use- you write a little message and sign your name and the city you are from.
Then you hit enter and poof…your e-card goes to the crew.
Image above: From the left (front row) are Commander Jeffrey Williams and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov, flight engineer. From the left (back row) are T.J. Creamer, Maxim Suraev and Soichi Noguchi, all flight engineers.
So did I actually enjoy doing this?
Yes.
Yes I did.
So go ahead, send a message to the Expedition 22 Crew.
Well, while we are outside the box, let’s go a little further.
Let’s talk
bleccchhh
Presents.
I wish this was a real gift because I would REALLY give it to everyone I know.
It’s called A Screaming Tea Kettle
Cartoon by: Carolita Johnsoncartoonista, etc.
Of course, I wouldn’t tell them it screamed.
Where would the fun in that be?
Hey.
I’ve learned something here, when I don’t feel like I have to do the Christmas, or think about the holiday in a certain way
I am really liking it.
Whoo Hooo.
I’m feeling the Spirit tonight.
YAY!

On The Fifth Day It’s all about faith
This is Faith when she was a baby:
Faith was born without her two front legs ( just before Christmas in 2002 ) and with love, patience and peanut butter she learned to walk upright.
So what is Faith and her family doing with this amazing thing that they have accomplished?
They are using it to help other people.
Patience, love, peanut butter and Faith…the world has not been ‘user friendly’ as of late, and this story has warmed my heart somewhat uninspired Holiday Spirit.
