The older I get, the more low key it all is.

Kirk said...

Favorite is the homeless man and the cat. That's the way to do it.

Mistress Maddie said...

The only thing I can't stand about this season is the god awful, dreadful screeching and caterwauling of a song from Mariah Carey. When I hear it I go from Jekyll to Hyde. If I can, soon as I hear it, I'll turn it off!

House Hunters cracked me up.

Pixie said...

They're not even his own teeth? You have to ask, why does he a xray of his neighbor's teeth.

Thanks for the laughs this morning:)

Bob said...

So hilarious ... the teeth card? I died.

But that last one is spot on.

Jamie Ghione said...

These are funny! I'm stealing the treejaculation and the "run over grandma" ones!

Old Lurker said...

There is only one thing that is tolerable about this god-awful, dreadful season and that is Mariah Carey's 1994's hit. Expose me to anything else Xmasy and I go from Hyde to Hyder.

As much as I try to avoid the holiday frenzy, it’s somehow finds me anyway. People to visit, cookies to make, and can you believe Costco was totally out of flour? I usually get the 10 pound bags of organic flour, in a two pack. My motto this year is stay calm and eat cookies

Marie Smith said...

The last one speaks volumes!

Oh dear, it would seem I experienced premature treejaculation this year, which for a woman is very rare. And now I'd like to thank you for placing "All I Want for Christmas is You" in my head this morning. -Jenn

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

That last one, though... TRUE!!

And I think I'm the only person who feels for Will Ferrell what Mads feels for Mariah's song: absolute ennui.

XOXO

I like Christmas and people have been complaining about the commercialisation of it forever. I will say I enjoyed it more when my kids were kids and the grandkids are getting too big now for it to be the whizz bang it was. The front room looks bare for about a month after the tree comes down so I enjoy it while it’s up.

Gingerbread house-hunting is never that pleasant! Where is the giant argument about the master bedroom en suite not having double sinks?! I mean, the very idea of a married couple having to share anything!! Eww!! 🤢😉

Bill Lisleman said...

North Pole Dancer - that would be the talk of the nursing home.

Moving with Mitchell said...

All I want for Christmas is for everyone to stop playing Mariah Carey. Then I can help Henry Cavill enjoy his life.

Boud said...

Well, this is a cheerful area, yes..

e said...

Christmas and Christians... sigh.
The dental x-ray was hilarious.
Thanks for the humour - it always helps!
Cheers,
E

You have the funnies and then they really hit. Especially the homeless with cat one.

roentare said...

It is so true that more sympathy would be gotten by saying one needs to feed the cat

angela said...

Ah yes the mega month of consumerism and madness
My excuse, for doing all my Christmas stuff early is that I want o avoid the shooing Centres
During the whole of December
I’m pretty sure I can I’m done and dusted for the spending part of the year
And I did it all under budget. Go me!

Mike said...

"Help me" You have to target your appeal to the right crowd.

Kay G. said...

Refrosted with new gum drops. Our son and new wife bought a house this year and that reminds me of them! 😊

Richard said...

I'm just going to go with the flow. All our base are belong to Christmas. Resistance is futile. Who knows, they might drop a cookie or do something nice? Anyway, it is only for a few weeks and we still have to observe the solstice.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Quite true.
Coffee is on.

River said...

Love the clever cat helping the homeless man.

DVArtist said...

Love this post. Very funny. Have a great day.

Fundy Blue said...

I can always count on you for great laughs, Debra! The cat one! LOL! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Hugs to you!

Iris Flavia said...

Dad made a gingerbread house with Bro and I when we were little. Once. After Christmas it was stored away and up again next season.
When our parents both´d passed we found the hose. It was intact. Not kidding. All gluey, so we threw it away. I regret that now.

baili said...

Such festivals like Eid and Christmas feel powerful and charged with excitement when we are young :)))

Adam said...

All I Want For Christmas is for Mariah Carey to shut the fuck up

Richard said...

I think it would be a good time to not worry about Mariah Carey. Who invited her? Why would you even be thinking about Mariah Carey?

That is all a fantasy I don't see what is so great with Mariah Carey or Taylor Swift or any of the whole bullshit scenario.

Is life that empty? Asking for a friend.

I think these singers have talent
but now they have sold their voices

We don't even talk about the songs
we only talk about whatever
how famous they are.

So, for these reasons, I could never
tell Mariah Carey to shut up.

Me personally, she is a singer and thank you.

Gingerbread House Hunters!!!!!

Grandma Pole dancing, Help me feed my cat and the last one especially.
