...And speaking of being socked, ponder this~

What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?

hmmmmmm... LOL! This wee Christmas smile is especially for Dravidia CuChulainn, courtesy of the Red Knights New York Chapter 27, "Time for a Smile" page.

Hugs to you, especially for all you're dealing with at this time. XOX

Hey.. Did y'all notice that Caily's snowstorm gift from December 05 is still happening in here? It's been coming down for two years straight with no signs of stopping! At this point, I'm wondering what the total accumulations are. *L* At the Great Pyramid, where would the snowline be?

This year, you've got more choices. You can to try the child-friendly version or "Nice & Naughty". You can also pick from a number of world languages, even Pig Latin.. but Ancient Middle Egyptian is not included. *L*

Used to be that he wasn't as "bent" as the Subservient Chicken, but last year Santa, Rudy and Mrs. Claus would:
spank
the robot
moon walk
punch
sleep
do sit ups
fight
beer
smoke
toke
balls
doctor
hump
scratch and
tango

among other things ;-) . Please leave me a scroll if you have discovered some new activities I can try on the bearded one. No.. not that bearded one, although I'd love to try! *weg* Santa of course.

Perhaps you'd like to try your hand at... the Simon Sez Santa. *L*

He's not as "bent" as our subserviant chicken, but, so far, he, Rudy and Mrs. Claus will:
spank
the robot
moon walk
punch
sleep
do sit ups
fight
beer
smoke
toke
balls
doctor
hump
scratch and
tango

*crosses legs & puffs a chocolate cigar*

Upon my return to AW, I found a lovely Hunan Hunny in my guest scroll, along with all sorts of handsome & happy MannyHuggys,
Hoppy HoggyMoneys, a Honey MiniHapsy
(waiting down under, of course)
and even a Humpy Hoogymummy ...

The Sacred Three To save, To shield, To surround The Hearth, The House, The Household, This eve, This night, Oh! this eve, This night, And every night, Each single night. Happy MannyHuggy!

Hoppy HoggyMoney! It's guid to be merry an' wise, It's guid to be honest and true, It's guid to be aff wi' the auld love, Afore ye be on wi' the new!

The Old Bard is here, with Huggymanny Cheer, Bringing his Best of the Season. First-Footing ‘s best done by a dark, handsome one, So a big blonde like me seems like treason. Just as I feared, I got "volunteered". So that is my rhyme and my reason! I come bringing gifts of the New year; a bit of black bread for the table, a wee dram of whiskey for the master of the household, and a small sack of coal for the fire. HuggyManny Blessing May the Gods grant their blessing Upon this dwelling, And upon each stone and beam And stave of it. And upon all the food and drink, And the furnishings and clothing. May the family and the animals Enjoy the fullness of health And prosperity, For now and always.

Look...




a Honey MiniHapsy!

And a Hunan Hunny, too..

Caily even made it snow. *look up*

This is clearly the happiest, huggiest, hoppiest, humpiest, Hogmanayest
HoggyhoneymannymoneyhunanminiHapsyhoogymummy day
ever. So cheers.. Humpy HoogyMummy,to you AW!

Right now, there are two women passed out in my bed. For me to fit, we have to (all three of us) roll in the same direction, at the same time. Anyway, there is another woman, Grandma, sleeping in my child's bed. Hub Oset is sound asleep sitting in a chair, in the "music room". My child, along two friends, a girl and a boy... sleeping on my living room floor.

Kitten twins: last seen in the laundry room, snuggled together on the floor in my bathrobe.

Fish? Well, they got the tanks!

And there is a teenager (my blood-sucking adopted cyber-son Quatara Isetnofret... who painted my left arm with genuine GIANT TEENAGE BUGGERS.. I'll GET you, Q...) asleep on my couch.

The spare room is filled with s**t.. Not literally, thank the Gods. You can't see the floor, so there's no sleeping on it.

So there is no room for me to sleep anywhere except for maybe under the piano (risking being painted with more buggars, being in close proximity to the couch) or on my bedroom floor (where I'll probably end up), so I'm up at my computer, drinking Irish Coffees.

Want one?

Maybe a scoop of some vanilla bean ice cream dropped in there?

Some whipped cream on top?

Cherry?

It's all diet stuff. *yeah, right* My "see it eat it" diet. Try it!

Earlier, we went outside to bang pots and pans. There were more people then, from ages 3 - 73. We all wore silly hats. Titi wore a lamp shade!!! No, not Titi Thutmose. The REAL Titi, who is asleep in my bed.. cutting logs she is. Not.

Chopping down the whole forest, she is!

At around 1 AM, we all played the card game "spoon", which knocked us out. Did you ever play that? Some did end up on the floor... Spoons, cards and people. We'll have to play this one at the next convention. Are spoons hist-ro-ically accurate?

But alas, there's no room at the inn for AER.

Why am I writing this? Well, I wouldn't even have a house right now, let alone a housefull... if it weren't for you, and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you...

So, this is me ringing in the New Year with Thee, being sentimental instead of just plain mental, for a change. ;-)

Happy 2006!

I raise my cup to you, AncientWorlds. This holiday season, I feel so blessed to know each and every one of you. The year has been, well, at times somewhat hard *to say the least* for so many of us. But putting all trials aside, I'll simply quote Frank Sinatra and say...

"It was a very good year."
