It's still Christmas and, in case you don't know, that awful song, “The 12 Days of Christmas”, is between Christmas and 3 Kings Day- January 6th. So Christmas is still the way ta go! I'm still dealing with my weakness, cough and voice sounding weak, but I’m getting better. I'm joining in with Monday Music Moves Me even if it's Wednesday. To everyone, Happy New Year!
1. BLUE CHRISTMAS BY PORKY PIG-2011
When I first heard this, I laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes. It's not Mel Blanc singing this but just a gifted individual at some party. Actually, I read it’s Seymour Swine and the Squeelers…ya, don’t know them either.
2. 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BY BOB & DOUG MACKENZIE-1981
3. BING CROSBY NARRATES CHRISTMAS BY HOLDERNESS FAMILY-2020
I have watched a few of his videos with his very pretty wife and they are funny. They made it big on YouTube, Instagram, etc… and, I have to say, he makes me laugh and we need that now.
What will the new year bring? Let’s hope, on a personal front, we have no major costs this year. A new furnace, water heater, followed by major vet bills and then, this past year, having to rip out our beautiful ivy fence and install a wooden one that meets the guidelines, is enough. My hubby and I are looking to create…maybe I will have my bathroom on the main floor. This bathroom has been gone since January 6th, 2018 and I would love to not crawl up the stairs at 3am for my nightly pee. My hubby is hoping to put in his garden pond and finally have my secret garden.
My one friend will be going through a transformation, selling the home and divorcing that idiot who has told his 2 daughters not to give him any Christmas gifts and that he’s busy. Why? They dared to speak to my friend’s new boyfriend ( she used to go out with him when she was 20 and they met, by accident, at a festival in July and rekindled their relationship in September). My friend and her ex have been separated for over a year even though they still lived in the house. The ex found out, went ballistic, as I wrote before and made it about him and how he has been hurt by his wife blah blah. Now, he has kicked his 2 girls to the curb for “siding” with their mom, bringing back all their cards, school grades etc…that they gave to him over the years. Thankfully, this year, my friend can find her path.
My other 2 friends, they are brothers, have been caring for their mom, for over 20 years, since their dad died. They worked and, aside from vacations or the day they took off to Toronto, they spent every evening at their mom’s as well as the weekends. She is a good person but she has been manipulative making them feel guilty if they dared not be with her when they had a day off. This past summer, she fell and broker her pelvis and hip and has been bedridden since then. To say she has had physical ailments is an understatement, and she is tired. She is 89 years old and just wants to be with her husband and I can’t fault her for that. She is getting more confused and her body is literally broken. They have a sister and the 3 of them take turns being with her every day since she went home in October. They take shifts and a PSW, is with her from 11pm to 8am. I know she will soon meet up with her husband and it is so very sad. I wanted to visit her but couldn’t during Christmas because of my pneumonia. When she passes, the brothers will be lost because she has been a mainstay I. Their lives for the past 20+ years. I will make sure to invite them every month for dinner and be there for them whenever they need it.
Sorry for going on and on but it just shows how some of us will be meeting the New Year with big transformations and others, like my husband and I, are happy to have a year less eventful.
May all of you have a great year ahead without the major upheavals my friends will be experiencing. A boring life can be good too.
Happy New Year!🥳
