Well worth reading .....

I think it would be very interesting … if a poll was taken…..
Should Christmas be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court?
Fairly early, yesterday morning … I was in a Kroger … one of three of their grocery stores that’s near where we live.
I have a bone to pick with Kroger….
People are being charged unbelievable prices for food, and the boxes and packages keep getting smaller and smaller.
$5 for a box of Kellogg’s crunchy bran flakes in a un-American.
For $6 you can get more flakes at WalMart.
But, if you buy WalMart’s house brand, the flakes cost much less, and they seem to be sweeter.
Something’s terribly wrong with this picture.
One week milk’s $3.59 …. the next week … it’s $1.49 … then. Back up to $3.25.
I was getting another two boxes of Kroger brand Pepsin.
I have to keep these pills on hand to counteract my cooking.
Usually 6 at once will do the trick.
We were out of them, and I couldn’t sleep at all last night ….
I’d made bean soup the night before.
Jackee says my bean soup works great for patching cracks in the driveway.
Just as I put the two boxes of the pills in my basket …..
I heard Nat.
You could have knocked me over with a feather…….
How many hundreds of Christmas songs are there ??????????
What’s the best one?
In its original version … this might be the most truthful one.
Christmas has always been the worst time of the year for me.
All because of my mother.
She was the saddest during Christmas.
Growing up poor ….
A lot of her was about not having what everyone else had.
When she finally got it all … she still wasn’t happy.
There’s a great lesson to be learned from this.
Some people are ####ing crazy.
She was.
But, there are some real bastards in the world ….
Who take great pride in making life especially hard on people during the time to be merry.
In 1990, four days before Christmas …. on a Sunday morning … Jackee got a call from her boss.
He wanted her to come to the office for a meeting.
We didn’t know what to think.
The only thing that made sense was that he was giving her a raise just in time for Christmas.
She’d been working there for only a few months and she had made record sales for the company.
So, off she went…..
About an hour later …. She came back home.
“I got fired, and he wanted me to clean out my office while no one else was there,” she said.
Jackee was showing up some of the other long-time sales people and they revolted. They said, “This gal has got to go. It’s her or us!” Her boss said, “They left me with no choice.”
Every year, his wife organized the people in the office into a choir, and they went around to the offices of customers pretending that they were The Ray Conniff Singers….
Practice was that night (I’d joined them).
I told Jackee that we should go to practice … in the spirit of Christmas ….
Jackee wouldn’t go.
Since then… I haven’t played any of my Conniff Christmas albums.
I just put the finishing touches on a new story.
I’m certain that it will be next year’s blockbuster Christmas movie.
It won’t be able to beat “Die Hard.“
But, it should do OK.
A week before Christmas … a woman is murdered at a posh nudist resort.
Their version of “Deck The Halls” is something to behold.
The gal police detective that’s assigned the case has to go topless to solve the crime.
As much as I’d like for Dolly to get the staring role …I imagine that Hollywood will have other ideas….
Who might get the part has me …. wanting to be there for the try-outs.
Meanwhile …
