There once was a young man named Chris

Who gave holiday times a miss

But then received gifts

Now thinks this is bliss

Said, “next year, won’t miss out on this”

🎁🎁🎁

Promises made on the Jan first

To be good and not quench your thirst

Sadly opened the wine

Had a very good time

Resolutions are just the worst!

🍷🍷🍷

🎄All done! Now it’s time to just sit back and have fun🎄

I’m mad I uttered

In disbelief as I see

Sane colors are true!

It looks auspicious

Hope it tastes delicious

A treat for the family

They laud it readily

For it’s Christmas week

Time for a treat

While a choir of the bells

Is really neat.

My favorite Christmas song is: (this is a new version of my favorite)

I bought a bag of these for grandkids’ stockings this year, first time in 40+ years. I was feeling nostalgic for our Colorado home. Schools used to give a field trip to the Jolly Rancher factory in Denver when my kids were small.

Tourmaline .’s 2020 Countdown to Christmas

Hat off the peg

Coat zipped up tight

Ice skates ready

For a chilly night.

The sunset lights the pond

With a warm glow

And we glide on the ice

Through patches of snow.

Holding hands through a knitted glove

Christmas magic–think we’re falling in love.

Wrote about it today in the Monday Peeve

How some people act doesn’t matter to me

It’s all gibberish in this hurting world

A peeping tom watch being unfurled

I don’t need to know a star’s private life

I don’t care how they spend their time

This year has shown how selfish we can be

All for ourselves and what we need

It’s time for a change, long overdue

Looking inside ourselves for what we know to be true.

Here’s MY “I message 2020″:

😏😒😕

I feel “dissed”!

Disappointed

Disgusted

Disillusioned

Disenfranchised

And while I’m ranting, since when is news not new anymore? What’s new that I need to know about, important enough to be a headline and blasted into my world for days or weeks?

News such as Trump blah blah blah and if I never see his face again I would thank the gods! Peoples’ unbelievably high incomes, sports figure’s troubles, people who decide to back something or someone, who divorced, sexual orientation, has covid, who is fighting, who married, who is cheating, who is losing or gaining weight, who has a new pet? Who cares? Is there any real news fit to print anymore?

The topper today was a mother who’s 6 year old racked up thousands of dollars on a video game. I mean really. . .this goes into the “I’m not wearing a mask and you can’t make me” category. It’s your own stupidity and we can’t change you, so why should we read about it? Headline worthy?

Okay I guess I’m done, for now. I read a lot of different news outlets, well except for Fox and I am tired of what is considered news. Walter Kronkite is rolling over in his grave.

I watched “Antwone Fisher” on a free preview of Epic this weekend. Denzel is always outstanding in my book, but Derek Luke – what can I say?😊 You might recognize him from “Friday Night Lights” made in 2004. Another movie I recommend. A warning, child abuse occurs in this movie, be prepared. It is a story of recovery.
