Some Christmas Cheer

Recommended Posts

My hubby forwarded these to me... Merry Christmas everybody! :(

Twas the day after Christmas, and all

through the house,

Every creature was hurting, even the mouse.

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead,

Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.

Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor,

While upstairs the family continued to snore.

And I in my T-shirt, new Reebox and jeans,

Went into the kitchen and started to clean.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,

Tore open the curtains and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;

The patch on his jacket said "U.S. Postman."

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox;

Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.

Bill, after bill, after bill, they still came.

Whistling and shouting, he called them by name.

"Now Dillard's, now Broadway's, now Penny's

and Sears

Here's Levitz's and Target's and Mervyn's - all here!

To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall,

Now charge away, charge away, charge away all!"

He sprang to his truck, and he drove down the road,

Driving much faster with just half a load.

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer.

"Enjoy what you got - you'll be paying all year!"

(composer unknown)

AND THEN THERE WAS THIS COUPLE.....

Who had been debating buying a new vehicle for weeks.

He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports car to

zip through traffic around town. He would have settled

on any ole beat up truck. But everything she liked was

way out of their price range.

" Look! " she said. "I want something that goes from

0 to 200 in just a few seconds. Nothing else will do.

Christmas is coming up, so surprise me!"

He did just that. For Christmas, he bought her a

brand-new bathroom scale.< /p>

Nobody has seen or heard from him since.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
