What Happened on Your Christmas Day?

My progeny is in the odd position of being substantially younger and older then the other cousins.
On my Christmas Day, I watched yea progeny put together toys for the very youngest. I watched the same progeny whip the older cousins in a conversation on religion in politics and current activities on such matters. I watched as the progeny spent two hours playing board games with two other cousins. To my great astonishment, someone's trash was carried out without a request, begging or pleading by anyone. Of course at 3:30AM, the entire household was awakened as the same progeny opened the door to go to the car for the pillow and blanket still therein and the alarm went off. I was astounded to see the same individual arise at 9:30 to again put toys together, play board games and take more trash out. I watched the older cousin learn respect was due and see the three younger ones fall under the spell of full attention given by their older cousin.
It was worth the trip down the road (easy traffic) and the five hour return trip (HORRIBLE traffic).

Quite an eventful vacation! I trust that you are home safe and sound! For me, I spent the day alone, unless you consider The Grinch and The Christmas Carole as a blessed way of spending the day. All in all, it was okay. Perhaps next year I can spend it with family.

You most emphatically did not spend the day with the Grinch, unless you were hiding in my closet, in which case I plan on swearing out a warrant on you for home invasion, trespassing, and undoubtedly burglary. Ho,ho, ho.

You have some real interesting things in the bottom of your closet. Toy gun among the other "stuff" in the back, and some lacy thing that would not qualify as dental floss....what is that all about? Anyway, thanks for the cozy blanket! Had a wonderful time, and I will see you next year.

There was a mistake; the blanket was for someone else. The lacy thing wasn't dental floss, it was butt floss. I meant to send that to Harry Reid.

Oh well, I guess one should not expect too much from strangers. I will send you a new blanket just in the event that my uneducated, unkept, or otherwise impure body spoiled your blanket. I am sure that you make Jacob Marley feel he has job security.
Happy new year, and do not worry over my visits again. I know when I am not wanted.

Now I know why I did not receive my present. You left it in the closet. You will have to obtain something else since my new blanket is gone. What oh what shall I do without my blankie. :mrgreen:

I question your home security system, Banjo, if it is that easily broken into. :roll: :oops:
I'm not sure if I am more disappointed, or shocked.:shock:
