Well today is Christmas so I’d like to start by saying “Merry Christmas”. I hope the jolly fat bastard (also known as Dad) got you some great presents. Luke and I haven’t bought each other Christmas gifts for the last 7 years or so because seeing the kids faces light up as they open their gifts is enough joy for us… plus I’m a tightwad when it comes to money! So what ever your plans are for this day have fun,drive safely, enjoy your family, roll your eyes at the drunk relative making an ass out of himself and remember… Christmas is more than just a pain in the arse driving from one relatives house to another… it’s the celebration of Christ’s birth so if you don’t celebrate the birth of Jesus feel free to send all your gifts my way and I’ll celebrate for you!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Let’s hope next year brings much joy and …oh blah blah blah…. no one is reading this anyway.  You are all opening your presents or riding new bikes or just too full from eating so much to bother with the computer today.  When you do read this I want to thank you for reading my blog and I hope I can entertain or inform or simply give you something to look at while you’re meant to be working in the new year…here’s to 2008! Cheers!!!!

p.s. This is a cute little game my kids love so in the spirit of Christmas – go bowl over some elves with a snow ball.

I had to laugh after reading a news article about police on the hunt for a filthy elf….. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=337148 …. hee hee. I have to say that after all these years working in slave like conditions round the clock in the freezing conditions of the North Pole, it’s bound to happen…… a disgruntle elf! Do elves get long service leave? How about fair and just working conditions? Paid maternity leave?? I think not! Santa is a workplace bully and he needs to step up and take better care of his employees. It’s a good thing Santa doesn’t exist otherwise he would have the elf union to deal with and an angry mob of short people shouting in high pitch voices picketing Santa’s head office.

Well it’s Christmas time and if you are like us your parents are divorced. That means four sets of grandparents for the kids to visit not to mention aunts, uncles, cousins, etc etc etc. The shops are so packed with people that claustrophobia is never too far away. Kids are excited about Christmas gifts and parents are stressed out and stretched with credit debt. We just happen to have both our girls celebrating their birthday in December so add that to the festive season chaos and what you get is nuts! The feeling that you’re going nuts, the strong inkling that your entire family are nuts! The sinking feeling that if you were to stand still for a moment and look around you would find yourself in a David Lynch movie as the leading roll. Well I’d like to say that if you feel a little nutty this month, you’re not alone.
