Eat drink and be marry, for tomorrow today will be yesterday!
I'd rather eat, drink, and not take a spouse, thank you very much.

Each to their own, my wife is my life, she is my treasure, my rock, my support and my being. One day, if it has to be, those words, that I swore in front of witnesses, to death us do part, will be a reality. It has to be, but it's so hard to face...........................let alone bear.I'd rather eat, drink, and not take a spouse, thank you very much.
On this Christmas eve I'll share a thought that has bothered me for many years. As every other Christmas, children are hearing traditional Christmas songs and even being made to sing some of them. They must be mystified by so many of the references, which are long obsolete. Few have ever seen chestnuts roasting on an open fire. How many 21st century children would know what sleighbells are if they heard them? Have any ever seen a one-horse open sleigh? And are there children anywhere in the world who will go to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads? Would any of them recognize a sugarplum if they saw one? I guess a new X-Box will make up for all the nonsense they are subjected to.
Sleep in heavenly peas!I grew up wondering what an "elephant boat" was supposed to be.
I was always puzzled by the "Round young virgin."I grew up wondering what an "elephant boat" was supposed to be.

Are you trying to tell me, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, is not a touching Christmas song?They still try to write Christmas songs but they are all boring depressing rubbish. There were a few from the fifties that are empty and meaningless but cheerful. For a decent, touching Christmas song you have to go back to the 19th century and earlier, when people actually believed in Christianity.
Many of the Christmas songs are actually seasonal, having nothing to do with the Nativity. I mean, "Frosty the Snowman"? Gimme a break. "Winter Wonderland,""Jingle Bells" and many others are about winter and snow, but you only hear them during the Christmas season.

I miss watermelon seeds, sort of. It's such a visual reminder that they are messing with our food.
