Christmas is the season of joy.
As the tattoo on my arm says, ‘One Joy Scatters A Hundred Griefs‘. I’m all about the joy. Specifically spreading it. Like preschoolers sharing their germy little kisses, I’m here to share the Christmas joy.
Or I was. Until I realized it’s Christmas eve and I still haven’t finished knitting my mother’s present. Nor have I finished the Christmas baking, folded the last of the laundry or wrapped the last minute gifts my husband keeps purchasing. Someone needs to take that man’s bank card away from him. Ahem.
Not to mention, I woke up to find I must have stepped in a pile of reindeer crap when I wasn’t looking because Santa delivered my gift early: the plague.
Nothing like pissing off a posse of festive elves and waking up with a raging head cold the day before Christmas. Merry Christmas me!
Still, I couldn’t let this Christmas pass without taking an opportunity to thank you all for your support and merriment you have bestowed upon me through out the year.
So thank you.
And to show you my appreciation, I’m reposting previous Christmas performances for you holiday enjoyment.
It’s all about the re-gifting around here. (Don’t judge me, I’m dying from the plague.)
Merry Christmas from me and mine to you and yours.
Love,
Redneck.

I’ve got the festive holiday head cold too. BAH HUMBUG! You do spread the cheer, though–hell, you started the Great Innernet Nintendo DS Lite Love-Chain

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Tanis and the entire Redneck family.

Merry Christmas to you, sweets! Hope you’re feeling better in time to fully partake of the merriment.

Thanks for the grins

To you and your beautiful family: many blessings to you. I am in full on cooking mode. The phone won’t stop ringing and I NEED A NAP.
Lol oh the couch is calling me.
Much hugs and strength to you. Just think to yourself: in 7 days 2009 will be GONE.
More hugs

You have such a nice smile and are such a beautiful person that I wish sometimes you would just take a normal photo!! It’s so hard to jack off to the goofy-faced ones.

Merry Christmas. Hope all have greater New Year. Thanx for sharing my favorite Christmas song.

OMG! You are so brave…or very drunk one….
Thursday, 24 December, 2009 at 16:16
Wow. I had no idea you such a bad singer.

Wow. I had no idea you’re such a bad singer.

Many Happy Returns. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

WOW–I must tell you that you did a much better job with the “Grandma” song than when I heard it 2 weeks ago sung by the lady who originally recorded it. When she sang it was all I could do not to just laugh. I like others before me wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. And, as for that nasty cold (that I too have) remember the best remedy is L-O-T-S of liquor. Keep it real and keep writing about it.

Christmas colds the gift we all seem to have gotten this year. I prescribe chocolate and Xanax and Kahlua. Merry Christmas!

Two days ago my wife coughed and broke a rib. My sinuses are packed with concrete. Our Queen Poodle is having diarrhea on the living room and hall carpet at half-hour intervals and our daughter is in full-on PMS mode.
Soon we will have survived 2009 only to face a whole new year of joys and pleasures…
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.”

And a Merry Christmas to you and the Redneck Family, from the Republic of Gumbostan!
Blessings to you in the coming new year. Now, I’ll just stay on the far side of the room if you don’t mind

I am pretty sure it was the cleavage but my 3 year old son was riveted by your Grandma/Reindeer rendition. And you don’t sound half bad on Winter Wonderland when I harmonize with you. MERRY CHRISTMAS from Boston.

Ugh! Pardon my lame attempt at insulting humour. I was drunk (as I am now). Aren’t the holidays good for that?

Oh, how I wish I had sound… *sigh*
Still, most entertaining!
Wishing you a clear head, so you can cloud it up properly with Christmas cheer!
Warm wishes from Oz
