Oh come on MOFF.....I'll go with you. I'd love to have a spin in your new car. Besides, I could use some distraction right now. Why did I ever decide to come back to work? I must be nutz!!

One double BM straight up please. Thanks Richard. I'm not going to sing otherwise they will lock me up!!

Sorry, Slick and Randi! I don't have a new car. Just my old broken one that sits in the drive way glaring at me. He no go!!! I was going to "borrow" one.

We really don't want to spend Christmas in the hoose cow!!! I hear their grub is awful

I'll be so bluuuuuuuuuuue thinking about you

OK OK there's no need to throw stuff, I'll sit down.

What have ya got, bartender? Something nice and warm and Christmassy? What is nog, anyway?

Karen, this one is for you! It's a history of nog!

Bartender, I would like to partake in some of the said 'nog, and will also join in the caroling! I sure do need some Christmas spirit right now. I haven't been feeling it because of my separation, and also because I won't be going home to my family this holiday like I always do. I'm feeling a bit lonely and out of place this year...but carols and nog might help a bit!

**hugs**

My Dad never used to know the words, either!
He carried a pretty good TUNE ... his version of the words was sometimes "unique".

... his version of the words was sometimes "unique" .

No one here doubt that for minute!! We'd love to hear it anyway!! And while you're at it, how about some OLD pics from your more active firefighter days?? Don't let us down!

Oooo, that you for that eggnog, Karen! I will sip it by the fire and not sing!

We have a bit of a time-warp going on here ...
The original "Dad" who didn't know the words was Phred's Dad ... many years ago.
He'd sometimes "agree to go" with us to Christmas Eve Services ...
and liked the BIG Church PIPE Organ sound ... so he'd "sing along" -
without too many referrals to the Hymn Book!

But I (Phred) will admit to attempting to "sing" in the Church Choir - before I realized I could NOT "sing".
I too, like my Dad, enjoyed the BIG Sound the Pipe organ produced -
and the Church Music Director / Organist just LOVED to *crank it up* and
rattle the Church windows at every opportunity! He'd pull all the Stops and Options
on about every piece he played - made that organ sond like a 100 chair Orchestra!

Annnnd ... as a Kid's Choir "Member" - I got to sit in the Choir Seats -
right UNDER the Pipe Loft --- darn pews would VIBRATE when ole Mr. Watkins
would Let 'er RIP! I always wondered if he knew that the louder he played,
the "better" some of us sounded!

Karen, my dear friend. If I could, I would send you a plane ticket and you could rush up here and we could celebrate the holidays together. I'll be with family on Christmas Day but I always feel out of sorts over there too. How about we just sit around, laugh and giggle and have a few lemon drops. You can sleep on the hide-a-bed in the living room and Max can wake you up in the morning.

It's all here waiting for you sweetie. {{{hugs}}}

Bartender, can I please get a Lemon Drop for my commute home??

the King.

I'd like some egg nog with a splash of Irish whiskey please. Thanks.
