Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Fa-la-la-la la-la la-laaaa. Tis the season to be…

Waiting in line in the shops for hours

Staying six feet apart from other shoppers

Debating over gift cards or sweaters

Drinking champagne in crystal glasses

Zooming in friends’ and family’s smiling faces

Washing your hands to be extra nice

Wearing your mask to keep coal out of your stocking

Staying socially distanced from stray elves…

Building a snowman with only people in your bu-b-b-le…

Fa-la-la-la la-la la-laaaaaaaa!

    Moose milk?! I need to know what that is.
    My kids have never seen It’s a Wonderful Life and I wonder if tonight is the night. I think they would love it if they’re ready for it. I remember sobbing the first time I saw it, as a child.
    We have really loved Jingle Jangle this year.

      It’s boozy milk and whip cream! 😛 😀 It’s a Wonderful Life being a classic, is a no miss. But it is loooooong. Might be too much for the littles just yet? Aw, exactly. I’ve seen grown men cry watching it for the first time. No lie. Merry 1st Christmas to Rider! xx Enjoy the season, Tamara. Hugs.

    Loved all of this Lisa. I’m hoping 2021 will bring much positivity and promise. Sometimes I wish I’d wake up and 2020 was all just a bad dream, ha-ha. Anyway….Merry Christmas to you and here’s to a BETTER New Year!!

      Thank you, Balroop! Ha. Deck the Halls is the song. Fa la la laaaaa is only one part of it lol. Good for you. The baking makes the house smell like Christmas. I always eat too much of it though. 😛 Now that you mention it, I may have combined two different Carols to make one. You, too have a “holly jolly” Christmas. See you in 2021! xoxo

      Thanks, Jeff. Yes, we sure do. That sounds good. I used to go often and hardly at all since Covid. It was a simple pleasure that I also look forward to again. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    Love the poem/song. I haven’t watched as many holiday movies as I’d wanted, but oh well, I can always watch them after Christmas too.

    Happy Holidays!

      Thanks, Lauren 🙂 Me, too. Only one. The Hallmark ones were too boring but I still want to watch some of the Classics. Indeed watch one or two AFTER. Happy Holidays, Lauren! 🙂 <3
