My mum's birthday was on Dec 22nd, I imagine over the years she got a lot of presents that were for her birthday and Christmas. We had an 80th birthday party for her and I found out that she'd never had a birthday cake. For the next eight years, I always made sure that she had a birthday cake. I always bought her two gifts as well.
As always- you have made me laugh. Thank you for that. I've always thought that Paul McCartney Christmas song was the most inane thing in the world but now I UNDERSTAND! Great one, Paul.
My oldest son was born on December 10th ... birthday and Christmas is always combined! As long as I send enough money, he's OK with it and so is my D-in-L!
🤣 OMG! The Gay Men's Chorus of LA did its own cover of the 50's "classic" about a hippopotamus!* I have heard that Gayle Peevey's parents did buy her that hippopotamus and rebuilt part of their house for its comfort where it lived happily for 45 years! I hope every member of the Chorus got his wish! 🤞🤠* **"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"** by **Gayla Peevey** https://share.google/25mmJKaahMz8zHeY0
Love love love the lumberjacks! And am quite glad that I was very successful this year in avoiding Christmas music (except at the dentist - why oh why oh why?).
Great memes, as always! I have a new appreciation for Paul McCartney's weird holiday song. Love the cookie cutter vs oven. They all gave me a chuckle! And, you are so generous to your gay male readers! I'm glad those giant men didn't hurt themselves or others while swinging their axes so freely...
While I'm not at all disappointed by the sight of all those mostly shirtless men, when I saw that it was "The Lumberjack Song", I expected Monty Python!
I may never hear that Paul McCartney song the same. Thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteThe Lumber Jack for Christmas was great. I avoided all commercial radio Christmas music until yesterday when they played it at the gym ... barf!
ReplyDeleteI'll take those poinsettias!
A well made fruitcake is a thing of joy. I make my own.
ReplyDeleteLove the video. I have an aversion to Christmas music this year but I enjoyed that one!
ReplyDeleteThe poinsettias are very cool..but I must protest the slander on fruitcake. We fruitcake aficionadas eat it happily.
ReplyDeleteI feel for baby Jesus -- as a December baby with aunts giving one present for birthday and Christmas!
ReplyDelete...Debra, thanks for the Christmas cheer!
ReplyDeleteGood ones. I never thought that way about the Paul McCartney Christmas song.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I agree with Jamie - I will never hear Paul McCartney in the same light again!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs, Debra! My fave is the Paul McCartney one :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh the lumber jacks are just too much.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Debra.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what I wanted for Christmas but now I know: lumberjacks, in every size and color!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these, my favorite is waiting for them to turn red, lol.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Read before giving book meme. I used to do that but unfortunately not enough people I know read books instead of Kindle. Darn them.

ReplyDeleteI thought the two leg lamp memes were spot on.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies won't matter if you smoke enough poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteAs always - terrific! The senior leg lamp killed me.

@ Cleora Borealis -- I knew that you, being such a fan of the original, would particularly like hearing this alternative version!
DeleteI laughed out loud at the leg lamp for seniors but they're all hysterical! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI like fruitcake if it's made well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone has thought of a leg lamp as a Halloween costume?
ReplyDeleteLove love love the lumberjacks!

Never mind Duran Duran. I REALLY want a lumberjack for Christmas! And your Christmas Story lamp!

ReplyDelete@ Kirk -- So did I. But I was glad to discover it was something different and unexpected!
