My whole family is gone for 3 whole days! I can do what ever I want! WOOO!!!!111!!one Chances are though, I’ll just draw. I don’t do anything crazy or throw wild parties when I get the house. I draw or play games because that’s what makes me happy. ^_^ When you get time to yourself, what is it that you do?
While I was at work today, Wife took at trip across the border for some holiday shopping. When ever she goes over, the only rule we have is that we have to buy some crazy American food stuffs. I say crazy because there are so many strange “foods” on your shelves. Things that we don’t get here in Canada (which is why I love doing Snack Swaps). Take for instance the above picture. It’s probably one of the tamer food items she brought back, but not the first “cupcake” flavored thing to enter the house (cupcake flavored ice cream topping anyone?). We don’t really get the cookie Goldfish here. We get some, but it’s mostly the cracker flavors. Let’s see what else Wife bought in the States.

Let’s go for a third Christmas post! This past weekend, while we put up our decorations, we listened to holiday appropriate songs. I had forgotten how much I love the sound of the classic Christmas songs. Songs like “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives, “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby, “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole, “Baby it’s Cold Outside” by Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting, and “Frosty the Snowman” by Jimmy Durante. There’s just no better versions than these in my opinion. Sure there are great versions being put out now, but I love the classic/original versions of these carols. But my all time favorite Christmas song is Elvis’s Blue Christmas performed by Porky Pig. It’s the first song I have to play every year. And so… take it away Porky. ^_^
…and yes I realized it’s not Mel Blanc, but this guy does a fantastic Porky, I’m willing to over look it.
Since we’re on the topic of Christmas. What are you looking to get for Christmas or better yet do you have an awesome gift you’re looking to give to someone? Because as fun as it is to get stuff, it’s fantastic to see peoples faces when they open things you’ve bought them.
Me? I’m hoping that I get a Wii U. I know it’s an expensive gift, so my heart isn’t set on it. I’m pretty sure that will be an after the holidays purchase. As for what I’ve bought… I have a very nice gift for my wife, but I won’t mention it on the off chance she visits my site. It could happen and with my luck, a pretty good chance of it too. ^_^
Christmas decorations went up in my house today. Did they go up in yours or did you already have them up? I know some people who put them up the day after Halloween. No fool’n! November 1st the scary stuff comes down and the tree goes up. That’s a bit early for me. We normally do them towards the end of November, so this is late for us. This year we also thumbed our noses at LED lights. They just don’t have the same look and feel as the old ones do. So we went and bought some of those in stead. Not sure what we’ll do with the LEDs. Maybe put them out side or something. We also have a fake tree. I’m not particular on real ones. My Dad got a real tree for years, but he’s since converted too fake as well. We got our current tree about 6 years ago and spent a little extra for it because it looks like a real tree. So much so that we’ve fooled more than a few people with it and that alone makes me happy. ^_^
So the other day I mentioned that we don’t get cartoon type books about sex. Well I was wrong. I totally forgot about this one book… two books actually. They’re called Where Did I Come From? and What’s Happening to Me? They’re sex education books that were published in the 70’s and they both feature illustrated cartoon nudity! Don’t get too excited though, the characters in this book look nothing like the ones in the online dating book from yesterday.
