Sounds like your holiday 2009 was not the greatest either.But I think I can help. I have a suggestion for you. You should take a psychology class and see if you can learn what is at the root of all your negativity. Oh wait. You teach a psychology class. Then let me amend my suggestion. You should see if you can sign up your own class next semester! Here’s to a Happy Holiday 2010.

Hey Merrill. The forced cheerfulness of the holidays makes me retch. What the hell is so happy about short days and freezing weather? It’s a GD pagan holiday recognizing that the days are finally getting longer for CS! Great! I’m really happy about that but it will not really be WARM here till April! If then. Sorry about your brother, hope he gets better from whatever is ailing him. Hope it involves few pills.

Merry Christmas, Merrill. I’m really sorry about your brother’s accident and I hope and pray for a full and speedy recovery.

The centerpiece is truly something. One look at the picture and the viewer is instantly aware of its existence because of its tangible appearance. And how ’bout those cheery Christmas pills? Those are the prettiest capsules I’ve ever seen. They look like those pills you put in water and after a few minutes they expand into a washcloth. I’m so glad nobody removed the price tag from the candle because we’d always wonder what was missing.

After Little Septic Boy and The Fate Awaiting Thee, I’m in such a festive mood now, I’m thinking of wearing my 1960′s aurora borealis Christmas tree pin.

Have a wonderful holiday and God bless you and your family.

Everyone has his role in life. He just has to imagine what life would be like for the clueless, if he DIDN’T do his job! Maybe he should allow a few shit storms to happen to wake people up.
My sweet little plumber is more valuable to me than anything. The money I’ve paid out in the past year though would have paid for many reconstructions on my facial features at a strip mall plastic surgeon’s office.

I am so glad you like McDermott the little septic boy. It is kind of sad that he has to play on the septic pumping pipes through all eternity so its nice that he is appreciated this time of year. Happy holidays to you, Barb!

On behalf of my brother, thanks. He’s pretty messed up but I’m hoping he comes out of the whole thing better than he went in to it. And even I dont know what I mean by that. Except thanks. And happy holidays to you too!

McDermott the Septic Boy is very Cherubic! I think I’m in love.

Best wishes for the holidays, Merrill, and I hope your brother’s OK.

Being a kind of blabbing blogger, I couldn’t resist adding My version of humorous Christmas songs (in case you’re not already familiar with SNC! — boys being boys):

Merry Christmas Merrill! Your latest blog post here reminded me of Tom Lehrer for some reason, so below is a favorite song for you.

Reading your slant on anything is the gift that keeps on giving – hope you know how much you’re appreciated.
