El Tannenbaum
Ah, the family Christmas tree, lifting our holiday spirits with all of its pine-y goodness:

It’s real, and it’s spectacular
What’s this? I haven’t seen that ornament before. Must be a handmade one that one of the kids brought home from school. It looks like it might be a dove, or perhaps a melted snowman that was tipped over by those neighborhood hooligans. Damn teenagers.

Let’s get a closer look. What the fuck?

That, my friends, is a half-eaten quesadilla carefully placed in the tree just so, right about here (holding hand out at the height of a certain weirdo four-year-old). And here we were calling Jamie-Lynn Spears white trash. Mr. Pot, I believe you know Mr. Kettle? Lou Dobbs has already blamed this circumstance on our lax immigration laws.

Oh, the quesadilla ornament, it goes so well with the chunk of cheddar cheese ornament and the “I thought I’d like this orange nougat chocolate, but I really don’t” from Fannie Mae. The christmas tree, age old convenient end table for foods to be eaten later and hiding place for foods to be forgotten.
It’s beautiful, although I’m not a fan of the all-white lights. Just not my style.

Yes, come over to the multi-colored side! We put our tree up, but waited a day or two to decorate it (we decorate on St. Nicholas Eve) and one morning I came in the living room and ds had put a bunch of small toys and cars on it. It was funny!

Nothing beats opening up my washing machine to little bits of Paper Mache all over my “clean” clothes, only to discover upon further inspection and to my great horror (WTF) it’s not Paper Mache at all…..its meat?!
My precious 3 year old son used to giggle with delight when I removed the beef teriyaki from the stick when we ordered Chinese food & gave it to him like finger food. Then the ungrateful little bastard must have jammed it in the front pocket of his OshKosh B’Gosh overalls when I wasn’t looking (perhaps saving it for later?) and unbeknownst to me I stuck them in with the darks. Very nice! Being a Grandma is going to be like getting a HUGE friggen payday!!!!!
