What with the move to wordpress and all of the associated changes, there have been a few things I wanted to blog about but haven’t had the time.
*~*
A huge, HUGE thank you to Nobody and Sheila for all their behind the scenes work on Bluepaintred; Wordpress edition. Don’t worry Shelli, I will be drafting you into service, very soon!
On Sunday last, we took the boys in for their annual photo with Santa. (For the Third year in a row, we are first in line!) The two older ones went up without parental assistance, But I took Stuperman up and lifted him onto the Big Guys lap myself. I backed out of the shot, but was still close enough to hear their conversation ( and join in).
Hohoho. Merry Christmas Little guy. How old are you
*stuperman shows three fingers* Mostly four.
Have you been a good boy this year?
*Stuperman does not answer*
What do you want from Santa little guy?
*Stuperman mumbles*
I ask him. What do you want from Santa?
*Stuperman mumbles something again*
*apparently we have given up. There is a line of about 100 kids waiting for their photos behind us*
Santa says, Well, I’ll see what I can do.
*After the photo is taken, the children are offered a treat from the jolly fat man*
Would you like popcorn or a candy cane?
*Stuperman mumbles*
I ask; Popcorn or a candy cane, honey?
*Stuperman mumbles*
Santa brings both items out from behind his back; Do you want the popcorn or the candy cane?
I ALREADY TOLD YOU! I WANT A MONSTER TRUCK! Stuperman screams.
*he takes the popcorn and we leave. *
Talking with my sister VIA instant messaging she referred to Christmas as Stressmas. I like it. We need to start a campaign to stop the usage of the word Christmas. From this point on, Christmas IS Stressmas!
I’m a moron. Let me tell you why. Last Saturday, driving into the city we passed a church. Their Christmas Decorations consisted of a cross covered in pretty LED lights. (Enter stupidity)
What a stupid Decoration, I said to Hubs. I mean there is a tree right there they could have lit up. Why would they light up the cross?
*Blank stare from Hubs*
No really, I continued, its retarded.
Uh. Christmas is Jesus’ birthday…
And if that wasn’t bad enough, on Wednesday I was sitting in BFF Kissy’s living room making gift bags. The Radio was on a Station that was playing JUST Christmas Carols. The Stoopids Returneth
Why on earth are all these songs so Jesus-ish?
BFF Kissy and her mom are Catholic. I received both a blank (From BFF) and disapproving (From BFF’s Mom) stare.
This time I caught on quicker. Oh yea. The whole born on Christmas thing, right?

Next, have you seen Larry the Cable Guy’s skit on Office Party behavior? it’s pretty funny…but what came to mind is he is talking to a Jewish guy and asks, “How long is the statute of limitations on killing our Saviour?” hehehe…so yeah..well, um it was funnier in my head…

You are a dumbass! Even I know why all the songs are Jesus-y, and I only go to church for weddings and funerals.
Nobody’s Boy has NEVER talked to Santa. I don’t know why. I think he has become quite suspicious of the whole thing this year.

I went to Catholic School for many many years, I wore the uniform, had the nuns for teachers and everything… but that doesn’t mean I go every Sunday… in fact the last time I was in church was… uhm, for a wed - nope a funeral. It’s not that I hate it - it’s just that I dislike it.
You are beautiful (I can following directions too!)

Really though, I am one of the few religious people in my family. I get to hear those kind of comments all the time. My husband still finds it very strange that nobody in my family goes to church on Christmas.
