Challenge: If you can guess the Christmas song that the following lyric excerpts belong to, then you win a free copy of my upcoming book I Don’t Drink Alone and Other Lies.
Simply write the song to which the lyric belongs (in order) in the comments section.
Challenge closes December 24th at midnight, moments before Santa comes clattering down your chimney.
Here goes:
“…I’m gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene…”
“…Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small…”
“…folks dressed up like Eskimos…”
“…how many people are crying, people are dying, people are asking for love?…”
“…door bells and sleigh bells and warm schnitzel with noodles…”
“…bells on a wintry night with a friendly fire burning warm and bright,,,”
“…Once bitten twice shy, I keep my distance but you still catch my eye…”
“…you will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices singing let’s be jolly…”
“…someday soon we all will be together if the fates allow…”
“…a long time ago in Bethlehem the holy piper said…”
Good luck, everyone and have yourself a Merry little Christmas.
December 26: Winner-Kevin Shaw 🙂
Are you feeling the Magic of the season? For me, it comes and goes. I have days where I’m meh about it all. Whatever, Santa’s no big deal.
And it’s just so damn dark all the time. Even though it’s been short days for almost two months, I’m still surprised when I look out the window to see that my day has been stolen. Like I have lost a sense of time for a split second. It could be either 5:30 pm or 8:30 pm because it’s pitch black outside. Thank goodness for mini twinkle lights, right?
And baby, it’s cold outside.
We’re approaching the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. Do you celebrate the solstice more so than Christmas day? Winter solstice is beginning to hold more meaning for me as the years pass. Meanwhile, the importance of December 25th seems to be diminishing as I get older.
If you feel like me, you may be tired of the Christmas carols. Enough already. One more Jingle Bells and I’ll have to jingle away somewhere warm. So to make it fun I’ve interpreted the “hidden meaning” in a few of these time honored Christmas Carols we’ve all come to love.

If you’re home alone for the holidays, no need to despair. There are several inspirational lessons we can learn from young Kevin in the iconic Christmas classic movie—“Home Alone”.

10 Tips to improve your Christmas post divorce, is something I think will help anyone coping with co-parenting issues over the holidays. One of the most difficult times of the year for divorced and broken families is undoubtedly the Christmas Season. Especially the first couple of years when it is a time for re-building and transitioning the new family unit. What makes this even harder is having to let go of old traditions. Also, Christmas memories from before the divorce are still raw. Due to these changes in family dynamics, the holidays become a challenge and a tug of war between households. Neither Mom nor Dad want to be alone during this time and the children inevitably get caught in the middle.
The C word is back. Are you ready? I’m not. At. All. So, I thought a Christmas Prep roundup would be just the thing for us today. Let’s get inspired, started or finished with Holiday preparations. Usually by this time in December, I’ve done some shopping, wrapping and have the tree
The big ‘C’ is almost here. Instead of getting all anxious and thinking about what could possibly go wrong (presents aren’t wrapped, Santa forgot something or someone, the stockings aren’t full enough etc.) I’m going to be grateful. Gratitude is something I’ve been
It’s right around the corner—the C word. When I think of it, the Jaws soundtrack plays in my head. The dread. The fear. The money spent.
