HAPPY CHRISTMAS
from me and Bagel!
…and, this was the Santa created by B and Ing on Thanksgiving! …which they placed in the hallway by our front door! 
…and, this is the same Santa a few hours before Christmas! 
…we’re not sure where his Dorito Chip beard went. However, a sweet potato Santa doesn’t age so well.
Anyway, hope everyone is having a very happy Santa Day!!!!
Kisses from the Ghetto Fabulous — just across the bridge from Gaytown!

Wow! Merry Christmas!!!
You know how we thought Merritt Bakery smelled like a county fair? Well, the whole state of Michigan smells like one! I think I gained five pounds just stepping off the plane.
I found plans for a bed I wanted to build when I was a kid. It was shaped like a duck. And, if I had to have a bunk bed to share with my sister, it was going to be shaped like a unicorn.
I think there has always been something just a bit off. Oh, well!
I hope you all are having a fabulous and fascinating Christmas and that present opening was fun. I’m off to drink beer and watch X-tube before my family wakes up (not from the drugs–of which there seem to be many–but from the turkey. Oh, turkey).

I hope you and B and Ing and all the rest are having a wonderful Christmas, full of warmth and love and gooshy warm fuzzies.
Give Bagel a kiss on the lips for me, please.

No, santa ages badly. Maybe a passerby plucked the Dorito-beard to spare him looking really bad. Wasn’t me, cried the wolf.
I know your days were holified divine.

merry christmas!!! I thought that Dorito was a swanky scarf that a gay Santa might wear, but yes, I can see it working as his beard a well…

Dessie! I’m so glad you like the gift! I feared it was too strange and odd, but that is me! My hope is that you can look at it, close your eyes and be bouncing off of the clouds as Tori sings! Tell S we just have a goofy sensibility! LOL! Oh! You’ve sent me enough!!!!! Love and kisses, matty

Miss S! Wow! If your home state smells that good maybe I need to move there! Wait, I would gain 15 pounds stepping off the plane! …maybe I shouldn’t consider it! A bed shape’d like a duck is an exceptional idea which should be pursued but I believe that there are laws which prevent the creation of a bunk bed made in the form of a uni=corn. I don’t advise it! Hurry home!
Hope you had a great Christmas! We’ve all enjoyed your film!

Daniel! Yay!!!! I was worried and thinking about you! Thank you and I gave Ms. Bagel a kiss for you! She loves attention and being adored! I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday in your new home! I need to see if you’ve put up a new post! It is still quite early here!
Mr. Diamond! Oh, no! Yes, one must play with at least one each year and dress it up as some character! However, I do not advise the use of commercial chips for facial hair!
The Sagittarian! Thank you! And, I hope you had a grand holiday! And, yes, the cute little girl was quite spoiled. Santa brought her several surprises! She seems to enjoy the sock monkey the most! Oh! And, Santa brought her some expensive “home made” treats purchased at an indie pet store — which she quite loved but which also seemed to make her a bit drunk and crazy. So, we’ve had to ditch those treats! …but, she has had a lovely holiday! …and, went for her first walk! …which she hated. Ugh!

Gina! You know, you’re correct! Santa’s always look good! No matter what may happen on the exterior we know that inside is the stuff of love and hope! However, I can’t help but wonder if he might not look better had his Dorito goatee had lasted! Oh, well! And, yes, despite it all, I’m quite blessed! I hope that you two had a great holiday and can’t wait to finally meet you in 2008! Be prepared for a big hug!

Hot Lunch! Oh, dear! Maybe it was a scarf or an ascot! Only B and Ing know for sure! Well, if it was a scraf — it was stolen and Santa is quite cold! Oh, well. Soon, he will have to be taken down and re-creaed for next year!
Hope those pesky neighbors have stop’d with the singing of bad Byron Adams songs!

Dessie! I think I need a full-on London in my apartment! In fact, I think I just need to be in London full stop!!! If ever I visit London, I worry I’ll chain myself to a pipe and will refuse to leave! …a pipe in Hyde Park. Not the low end part of Hyde Park, but the swank part of Hyde Park!

Dessie - Oh, me and squirrels go way back! LOL! I’m ready! Let ‘em come! I’ve read the book! I know how to be British: I can make/drink my mug of tea and understand the reason of Liz Hurley!

Merry Christmas Matty! The card was cool, I was so impressed, thank you!! I envy you, I’m far too lazy to make anything like that. I did notice, though, that there is a picture of B ‘avin’ a fag …. Do you really that this is appropriate for album billed as “Christmas is for the family”?? What would Barbra say? … ;-p
