[One Day Late] Merry belated Christmas to everyone here! The only
Christmas present we got was from my daughter. She sent a fire blanket
to quell kitchen fires. I had my first, and minor, kitchen fire the
other day, and I blew it out with wind from my mouth. As everyone knows,
I can be quite windy.
We watched "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" to enhance our Christmas
spirit. I don't recommend it.
One more holiday to go! For us, the next one requires hors d'oeuvres
only. Chicken wings, ham wraps, assorted crispy vegetables with dip,
et cetera. I would have used etc., but it doesn't go well at the end of
a sentence, at least for me. Two dots? Nope!
