Have a wonderful… bloomin’ Christmas…

We don’t have snow.

You may.

I have it safe in my heart

We have blooms

you may too.

or maybe in your hearts.

Merry Christmas

From my overflowing heart…to yours

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?

NOT for the faint of heart…

So…

Just what DOES happen when some teenagers decide to create

some goodies for a holiday party and steal your camera to document said creations?

IMG_4439

Ok…I get it

penguins

the little scruffians…

IMG_4430

Seem innocent enough…

until

they apparently formed their own little

penguin fight club!

IMG_4428

It was a bloody creamy massacre

poor little olive never had a chance.

And then the mice

had to come charging into the picture…

IMG_4433

… apparently red dye number 2

has been known to create deformities

IMG_4435

Massive deformities...In chocolate mice!

IMG_4436

What has our world come to?

what happened to peace on earth?

IMG_4406

goodwill to men?

and even broken mice and overly-aggressive penguins

IMG_4419

IMG_4414

Peace…people…peace.

Ok....Does it count as Christmas…

If one were to plunk some candy canes hand made

in an old pitcher

IMG_4390-1

add a few balls and sprigs

...and call it a day?

Not so much... you say?

oh.

IMG_4394

Ok…a little wee Santa too?

IMG_4391

Maybe add a teensy wreath...

IMG_4392

Or two?

Now...can it count as Christmas?

IMG_4395

Not enough yet?

Ok.

How about I take said handmade candy canes…

and offer you this

christmas

Aha!

Thought so.

Imbibe.

It’s The Holiday season.

right?
