It’s the day after Christmas. I hope you had a good one.
Our family still has Christmas plans. With all the snow, bad traffic and surprises it was a little difficult to get us all together for any one event, but, whatever. The family is getting big enough we’re starting to rent places to have enough room for us all to sit down. 😀
Here’s a little post Christmas humor for your amusement.
If you liked what you saw, or didn’t but are willing to give the idea another chance, click HERE to go to the link up of all the bloggers doing #MirthMusicMon this week. (Thanks to the creator of this weekly idea, ReGi McClain! 🙂 )
If you should decide to join in on the Mirth and Music Monday fun as a blogger you’re more than welcome. All you’d need to do is find something funny and something musical, create your post, then add it’s URL to the linky on the other side of the above link. It’s easy. 🙂
“That’s what I just asked. What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, just some things.”
“Like…”
“Like how come when it’s Halloween it’s all “Oh, look at all the cute kids in their little costumes.”, but then the rest of the year we’re just pests in their way?”
“We’re not exactly little anymore, ya’know.”
“You know what I mean. It’s just… what’s with the duplicity?”
“Ummm, I don’t know.”
“It’s the same kind of thing with Thanksgiving. All year long our culture is full of gimme-gimme, then we take a day or two to suddenly remember all the good things we have. Celebrating all the things we normally take for granted. We get together with all kinds of people we normally dodge, eat four thousand calories each, and then pass out on the couch. It’s almost exactly like Christmas.”
“What about Christmas?”
“That’s another time when we’re all supposed to be happy and stuff. Everyone is in a good mood because it’s the season of giving, but what about the week after that? It’s like the instant Christmas is over everyone is already worried about their New Years resolution and who they’re going to be kissing at midnight. All that fluffy, happy, glowy feeling is just poof gone.”
“Uhhhhh-huh. And your point is?”
“I don’t have a point. You asked me what I was thinking about, so I told you.”
“You sure did.”

Now, hand me my share of the candy, some pumpkin pie
and assure me you’re getting me something awesome for Christmas!

(No, I didn’t set out to preach. All I did was sit down to a blank screen and let my mind barf words all over it. There’s no intention of toe-stepping, or guilt trips.)
One of these years I’m going to get used to the fact that every week has one. *groan*
Here are my offerings for MMM (Mirth and Music Monday). It seems to be about birds. Huh, who would have thought I would ever get into some kind of a theme for a Monday meme. (lol)

This is a long-time favorite of mine.
There seem to be a couple of morals to this story.
If you want to watch more MMM’s go over to ReGi McClain’s blog. She’s the one responsible for all this giggling on Mondays. Here’s The Link!
Don’t forget to check out the smiley faces on the right hand side of her page. The top one will let you follow links to other MMM bloggers, and the one beneath that will take you to snippets of stories by all kinds of different writers. They post their stuff on Wednesdays.
