Now, since this blog is going to be six years old in March, we've already gone through five Christmases together here in Cyberland. I've told some old family tales about Yuletide celebrations from my childhood. I've waxed philosophical and comedic about things that...well, just scream to make me wax philosophical and comedic. There's been a ton of good and clever Christmas material printed here in the past.
So, like "A Charlie Brown Christmas" every year since 1965, some of the funny stuff will make a return. I recognize that there are new and regular readers who were not clicking here back in 2007 and 2008. I might re-package a piece or two so it will look new, but it really won't be. Oldies can still be goodies.
As for those darling memory dumps that I share on Sundays, there have sadly been a finite number of Christmas memories. Every once in a red and green moon, I recall a tale or adventure that slipped my mind previously. Eroding brain cells can tend to do that sort of thing to you. But, for the most part, my grandmother is no longer saying funny things around the holidays. She died in 1982 and stopped being amusing shortly thereafter. The same with my parents. So that well has dried up. No egg nog left, folks.
But, just like Lucy and Ethel in the candy factory, we thank goodness for reruns. Bear with me as I bring back, over this holiday season, some stories and posts from the past. Carefully selected for your daily amusement and laughter. If you can watch that darn "Miracle on 34th Street" every single year, you certainly can re-read some of my handiwork one more time.
Keep on checking in every day. For some new, some old, and all hopefully enjoyable. Trust me. There will be no coal in this stocking.
And the egg nog starts spilling tomorrow.
Dinner last night: Hanger steak and mushrooms at E & E Grill House.

Let's hear about favorite/least favorite Christmas gifts from childhood.
Also, any Carvel Christmas memories. I do have an agenda for that.
