Christmas prep done yet? …Well then you must be a conservative.

It’s a festive non political Christmas-related NewsQuip!  And here’s photo proof:
image Yup we’re done with all the prep for the “holiday” of “seasonal values” known to some as the “happy-tree”, um, “festivus”.  Normal Canadians call it CHRISTMAS!  … And are ya like me?  Do you don an official “we’re done” Santa cap which means there’s no more prep work to do until after Christmas?  Well I mean besides cooking delicious things and opening bottles of wine and beer and mixing what I call “smart” (that means using enough rum to light your butt on fire) rum ‘n eggnog cocktails for me and other folks and getting more ice out of the freezer which is way outside in the shed meaning I have to put slippers on to get it —can you believe the suffering?. …  Another “we’re done” clue: Jo-Anne and me played Scrabble last night.  She whipped my butt.  And she did the unthinkable:  she used all her letters in one word —a word which started on the big red top-left Triple Word Score square.  The word was FLIRTING, the cheeky monkey (I set her up with that G at the end).  Eighty-some points.  Anyway we drank to that.  … We’ve visited people—more to visit; people have visited us—more will.  We’ve gotten Christmas presents and cards from lots of people including PTBC visitor people.  Thanks all!  … In typical Vancouver fashion, it’s a

green Christmas, which, mercifully, has nothing to do with conserving electricity by eating raw turkey or recycling last year’s stuffing or walking anywhere —it just means snowless (and not because of the damn “man made globa…”  —well you know).  Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS

to all my friends and PTBC visitors and supporters and associates.  (Watch for a really new look for the site probably before year-end!)  Please with your tips or even if it’s just to say hi or, you know, “that was brilliant writing!”, or whatever strikes you!
