And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a:
He-he-he...
You know, I jumped into the car earlier today, in an attempt to find something appropriate to photograph for a Christmas post. Not wanting to brave the malls, or anything of the like, I stopped in the parking lot of Zion Market, and happened to looked up....
And call it silliness, or a sign if you will...... But it has indeed been a pretty stormy year for many.
And so I stopped there. So, instead of a post on our Christmas dinner, we divided up the 40 bucks or so set aside for dinner into fives, and are giving it away tonight. Not much, I know. But whether it's to make us feel better, or will make someone's Christmas Eve a bit better, so be it. We can eat simply at home, and I can put aside my snarky cynicism for one night!
How can you tell the Missus wasn't born in the US? Ask Her to sing Her favorite Christmas Carol:
"Jingle Bells, (short pause) ummm, Oldsmobile, da-dee da-dee daaaah!"
A drunk walks up to the Missus:
Drunk: "Give me liberty, or let me diiieeee"
The Missus: "You really don't want to me to make that choice for you right now....really!"
The mmm-yoso gang would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Hello! Merry Xmas to you, the Missus, Cathy, and Ed from Yuma (sorry if I forgot any other guest blogger)!!!
Happy Holidays!

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guys. I hear you on the stormy seas. It will be interesting (to say the least) to see what effect this situation has on our local dining scene!
