An Early gift.....

This is a warning to my younger siblings, when you hit my age apparently all goes downhill. So if you think your health is bad now. Just wait. Who knew I would be getting an MRI for Christmas!!!! The thing people think to give as gifts never ceases to amaze me. That’s all I have to say about this subject at this time.


oh and On a side note, I would like to offer my sister my sympathy of the scratching of the iPod. It's always a sad day when we hurt the ones we love.

'Tis the season

Well it’s that time of year and if you are like me you hear everyone talking about what they want or what they need for Christmas. However, you rarely here anyone talk about the meaning behind Christmas. So I have brought it upon myself to remind everyone the undiluted true of why we have Christmas.

Four score and seven years go, the founder of Christmas first hit the scene. Now you might wonder what hip-cat came up with such a joyous and festive occasion? Well that would be your very own Joseph S. Joe bought a brand new fondue pot that he was going to give as a present to his good friend Tony that just had a baby named Moses. Joe was extremely excited about the present so he left JcPenney’s and headed strait to Baby Moses’ house. Along his journey he was riding his bicycle near the Jordan River, when he just so happened to hit a bump and lost the present in the river. The present was in the middle of the stream and Joe was unable to reach it. So he looked around and he saw this lady named Mary. Joe jumped back on his Schwin 12-speed and raced over to Mary and asked of her if she knew how to swim. Mary said yes, so he loaded Mary on to the handle bars of the bike and headed back to the river. However, when then got to the river, the present had moved into very fast moving currents. Mary jumped in and tried getting the present, but as she reached for it, she missed. When Mary missed the present, she was quickly pulled under by the current never to be seen again. This truly troubled Joe. He sat and watched the present drift further and further away, until all he could see as a glistening from the rapping paper which made it look like a tiny star. As he was watching the present, he saw his friend named Chris. Chris was a polo player on Team Bethlehem. Joe new that Chris had great swimming skills and the ability to work well with his hands in the water. Joe pointed at the present and yelled, “Chris stop that present!” Chris quickly jumped into action and dove into the raging river. Chris was swimming like the champion that he is. He was swimming around sharks, bears, trout’s, and manatees’. Joe was standing on the riverbank hollering jolly old sayings at Chris in the effort to cheer him on. Chris was inches from the present, he jumped out of the water, into the air (much like a dolphin), and when he came back down to grab Joe's package, he was struck by a bolt of lighting from on high. Luckily, this bolt of lightning forced Chris’s lifeless body back down into the water with so much force, it cause a wave that threw the present out on to riverbank. Joe went and retrieved the package and continued on his long journey to baby Moses’ house. Upon arriving at his destination, Joe was so distraught over losing two of his friends for this great gift. When father Moses opened the door, and asked what is wrong? Joe stated, “Well.......Marry....Chris.....missed....and this is your present.” And that is how Christmas all began. So Merry Christmas and this is your present.
