A Very Merry Christmas
Chuck totally wanted me to dress him up in a jaunty bow and ribbon. I didn't even have to bribe him with cheese and bacon-flavored biscuits to get him to sit still for these portraits, not at all.

Jon and I will be spending the next several days in various corners of the Salt Lake City area, giving homemade gifts to The Family Units, listening to 4-yr old boys whine so loudly that they sound like an adult immitating a 4-yr old boy whining, picking out the walnuts in the holiday fudge and slipping them to Chuck under the table (Jon is so going to kill me for this), singing and screaming and trying not to fall asleep during the reading of the nativity story as written in several parts of the New Testament.
Have a wonderful holiday, forgive your family, and drink whiskey. See you next year.

Snow, snow please fall,
On the heads and hoods of our friends one and all,
Who bring us good gear,
And a six pack of beer,
And gift certificates from the mall.
Over highways they ride,
Or in jets four seats wide,
They travel across our crass land.
Though they've searched high and low,
They're trading love for some dough,
And wonder how giving got out of hand.
Take a deep breath, oh you harried souls
Consider while pondering the hearth's coals,
Just what we're supposed to be sharing,
The snow on the walk,
Memories and small talk,
And friendship where cash has no bearing.

I'm a Jew... a lonely Jew... at Chriiiiiiistmaaaaas... Happy holidays & a safe non-stressful journey to everyone at the Blurbodoocery. I'll raise my glass of heavily spiked eggnog to y'all while I'm sitting in a Chinese restaurant having Christmas Day dinner.

Your dog hates you for the ribbon, but bacon goes a long way toward canine forgiveness.
I have to forgive my family. We are Italian and do plenty to one another that requires forgiveness.
But whiskey? Ugh. It makes you spontaneously grow back hair. I'll stick to tequilla personally.
Merry Christmas Dooce. And thanks for making my holidays significantly more entertaining.
PS: Resolution proposal for you: Write a book.

Who knew I was channeling Dooce last night when, after 5 gin & tonics, I excused myself for a moment to turn on the Christmas tree lights so as to make the room (as I chose to put it) "Motherfucking festive."
Happy Holidays.

Many happy moments, many happy returns. You three are very fortunate to have the love, sarchasm and wit to make the holidays a bit brighter. Have a safe holiday and new year.

Chuck is such a handsome boy in his finery. He's so grown up. Thanks for sharing your fun things, your serious things, your photos, your music, your humor, and your wit. Best wishes to you, the husband, and Chuckles.

Decibels... I was watching the syndicated version of Who Wants to be a Millionnaire the other night and learned that 30 decibels is one hundred times more than 10 decibels. I think. Merry Christmas, Dooce.

Merry holiday and all that. I am currently forcing my dogs to view Chuck's pictures in the small hope they, too, will let me decorate them with various festive cheer.

What? No reindeer antlers or santa's hat for Chuck? *blocking my dog Luna's view of the monitor so she cannot see Chuck* (I told her that no dog could escape x-mas as easily as just a bow and ribbon)
Happy x-mas and all the best for 2003 in your new home; LA will miss you; hope santa's good to you even though you may have toed the line between naughty and nice.

I am just a frequent lurker but I just wanted to thank you for allowing all of us (lurkers and non-lurkers alike) to read your rantings and stories. I can't stop myself from checking back often to see what is going on in your world.
All the best to you, Chuck and the Bearded One.
