Thanksgiving.....

Well we are getting close now! All the traditions of thanksgiving were fulfilled and it is time to start on those for Christmas. I bet you are all wondering what the traditions of thanksgiving are, well for those who don’t know I will give you all a little taste of the season. 6 started his slumber on wed night his plan was to sleep for hours and not to wake until the sun was high in the morning sky. Tradition is just so difficult to break, at 5AM the scent of stuffing filled the air and 6 could just not resist. 7: Oh, that uh, that there's an RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. It's a good looking vehicle, ain't it? 6: Yeah, it looks so nice parked in the driveway. (This could have happened, if 7 would ever get off his lazy butt and drive that so called dream of an RV.) Before 6 knew it 61 arrived, then OA, 8 and 63 rolled in “Let the eating begin” !  Oh, Lweis... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.  We try to try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup. Turkey in the oven, turkey in the fryer, Rex in the glasses, tunes blasting, fuses blowing , family members scurrying it must be Thanksgiving! Edward, what's wrong with the dog? Oh, he's just yakkin' on a bone. He's got it up!   BTW what is about our family and wine at meals?  After the feast we all gathered in front of the tub to Kick-off the Christmas season, buy watching the classic of classics, the crème de la crème, and the greatest film ever produced Christmas vacation!  As per tradition, we did have a few technical difficulties, what’s that sound? You hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound. but 62 came to the rescue with here trusty ipad and saved the day!  Friday we continued with the traditions by once again firing up the fryer and 7 made us some fries, and his famous chicken wings, while the strakes were on the grill, and without question the Rex was flowing. We all consumed massive amounts of food, loaded the truckster, and were off to Lennytown ( Burn some dust here. Eat my rubber) to see Santa and the annual tree lighting! Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa's sleigh on its way in from New York City.  You serious, Clark? As tradition dictates (Russ, we checked every bulb, didn't we?) It took Santa 3 times to get the tree to light. We left the festivities, returned home to eat some birthday cake, and drink so nice warm apple cider. Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead? Naw, I'm doing just fine, Clark.  Saturday was full of shopping ('Tis the season to be merry Oh, I was just smelling - smiling. I was just blouse - browsing. I, uh, heh heh. Well, I guess it just wouldn't... Oh hee hee, it wouldn't be the Christmas shopping season if the stores were any less hooter than they - HOTTER than they are. Whew. It is warm in here, isn't it?), movies and making the traditional lasagna dinner. With some more Rex. Before you know it was time for all to head back to the homesteads leavening 6, 6A and 62 behind to an old dark and empty house. 6 did do one thing different this year that broke tradition, 6 cleaned the old turkey fryer, he usually waits until the summer time, when he gets the beach chairs out of the shed to tackle that job, what a mess! Merry Vacation. Shitter was full.

Words of wisdom: The most enjoying traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin.
