The ABC’s of the Christmas holiday: light-hearted

A- Afghan. Best moments in life are spent snuggling.

B- Bows. Ya gotta put somethin’ on top of all those boxes!

C- Carols. Come on, this is the only time you get to sing those Christmas songs.

D- Decorations. Duh! It’s Christmas!

E- Egg nog. Long winter nights, fireplace roaring...wouldn’t be complete without egg nog.

F- Family. You may not like it, but blood runs deeper than water, my friend.

G- Gifts. Believe it or not, it’s NOT just the thought that counts.

H- Heaters. Them tootsies gonna get froze in that deer stand without one!

I- Icicles. Don’t walk under ‘em. 

J- Jelly. ...because I really wanna poke Santa’s belly and see if that’s what comes out!

K- Kay Jewelers. Dumbest commercials in all of television this time of year.

L- Lights. Go outshine your neighbors.

M- Mistletoe. Overrated. 

N- Naughty or Nice. Well...?

O- Open. Boxes under the tree are pretty, but it’s what’s IN those boxes that make things exciting on Christmas!

P- Packages. Presents. Parcels. Exciting!

Q- Quest. Everyone’s looking for that perfect gift.

U- Unite. Each year over Christmas, friends, families and loved ones get together to celebrate the season.

V- Vests. It happens every year. SOMEBODY wears the tacky Christmas vests. 

W- White Christmas. Classic film! -a holiday must-see.

X- Xmas. X is greek for Christ. Don’t be ignorant. Look it up.

Y- Yule tide. NOT Roll tide!

Z- zzzz’s. With all the excitement, try to get some sleep this season.

Struck down but not destroyed

Sick in bed today. Dumb. Get this though...Advil, bananas, Goldfish, Poweraid, water, Thieves, Suphedrine, Argentyne 23, and 4 different Sprayologys are being used in the making of a healthier me right now. Working for a Doc is pretty much a guarantee that if, on the off-chance you actually DO get sick, you won't be that way for long.
Jr. year in college my Psych professor told our class that the best way to get over a sickness is to bore the bacteria. See, bacteria love to be active and have a life just like we do. When we are active, they start dancing, bouncing around and multiply like crazy! If we stay in bed, drink nothing but water and watch daytime television, then they will get bored with your sorry self and hit the road. Now...I know you're rolling those eyes, but her point, though a tad on the loony side, is valid. It's better to be out of commission for one day than try to "tough it out" in utter misery for a whole week or two. Look, the best way to stay healthy is to take care of your body. It's the only one you've got.
