So I gotta ask....are ya in the mood yet?

If you still find you're not, maybe you oughta try a little Yule Fuel

I know...it's the economy, stupid...then there's the this, the that and the other...hey, screw it.

Regardless of whatever else is happening, ya still have to enjoy the holidays.

We finished the tree yesterday and I'm gonna finish off the rest of the decorations on the front of the house this afternoon.

So put on some Christmas music, sing to your dogs like I am......hey, I've got Monday off and the Mrs is still at work - whatever it takes, ten days and counting.

Think of it as a pre-Holiday warm-up drill

Wish we had a Santy Claus smilie - but Happy Holidays to All just the same!

Okay, let's see if this works any better than the cute Golden picture.

Yes, Santa, I've been extra good this year.

I got FIOS but the Yule Log is not on until Dec 24th and then only for two days. When I had Cox it was on for days and days - bummer, that's my favorite part of the holiday - watching the log.

Clamma Claus,
Raven, too bad you didn't have a pic of the face I made at Clamma's first TFCTFN moon, it would have looked great on the pic of the screaming kid.
Happy Holidays from the Bombas!

Just wanted to let you all know that I got a very nice Christmas card from Clammer yesterday expressing a warm holiday sentiment as only Clammer could - he signed it too -

It said:

'Hey,have a #$&%^*#ing Merry Christmas ///&/ a $%##* Happy New Year'

This is the front of the Card -
