In reply to the discussion: As a child, did your parents/guardians tell you that Santa brought you gifts at Christmas? [View all]hunter
(38,264 posts)And I think I saw Grandma apologizing (in that never-an-apology manner she had) to some old fat guy wearing a red suit, scribbling him out a hand-written ticket for the Mexican bus north. The drivers of the Mexican Bus always felt sorry for anyone who'd crossed Grandma. They also knew she was good for the fare.
Whatever year your family had an especially bad Christmas, that may have been it. It sure as hell was a very bad Christmas for Santa.
It seemed to me at the time there should have been more reindeer meat added to the homestead freezer and smoker, but maybe Spot ate the rest.
Spot has never accepted strangers landing on our roof in the middle of the night. I'd always feel a bit uneasy whenever I noticed helicopter parts in his poop, or the more durable bits and pieces of guns.
Let's just say that it's all for the best Doug usually slept through the Christmas Eve chaos.
You never ever want to see Doug when he's angry, and he's not terribly fond of Christians who always ruin perfectly delightful pagan celebrations with their Christian nonsense.
My childhood Easter stories are much the same as my Christmas stories.
What's cooking, Grandma?
Rabbit.
