I hope that your holidays fall somewhere in between


"Christmas in Connecticut"


On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me;

Twelve more months of therapy

Eleven weeks at Betty Ford

Ten tennis lessons

A nanny from Londonderry

A maid from Uganda

Seven days in Bangkok

A gardener from Korea

A five carat ring

Four opera tickets

Matching Ostrich luggage

Two polo ponies

And a brand new S.U.V.

        
            and


"Christmas on the Corner"


On da twelb day ob Critmiss my babydaddy gib to me;

A twelb peese box a chikken

Lebben rocks a crack

Ten pack a Newport

Sum dat gonnoreeya

Aight Biggame tikkit

Sem pints o' Vokka

Sik malt likkers

Fi' day ol’ donuts

Fo’ books ob foo stamp

Free bruse rib

Two black eye

An a cab ride to da clinic

Wranx,

I will be snickering about this all day long. Oh my, oh my, oh my.....
Very, very good.. Fun to read aloud.

To clarify, amused not because of content so much, which I'm sure is accurate, but, your ~ability~ to mimic so well. Talented, you are.

Warm regards, Pat

Now this is a Christmas spirit I can enjoy...lmao.

The thought of her hands
touching his hair
makes me want to vomit.
