My holiday guide. (it's profound)

Here is my guide to "surviving" the holidays.

1. You don't want to gain weight: Then don't eat too much.

2. You don't want to go broke: Then don't spend too much.

3. You don't want to over-commit to holiday gatherings: Then don't invite your family on Christmas.

Happy 2nd day of December folks. Just remember, we've all got 99 problems, but a brain injury "ain't" one. So have a little fun.

Tonight I am making balloon swords for 2 four year olds, reading the latest US weekly and drinking a mahogany colored beverage that rhymes with
dine, fine, line, mine, nine, vine, shine, swine, decline, twine, sign and my personal favorite, consign.

I am now addicted to consigning things and seeing my "crap" slowly disappear (and making a few bucks to boot.)

What goes in, must come out.

Oh and for those of you who have young kids, and have "Elf on a Shelf" at your house this holiday season, here is a link taken from Pinterest, that gives creative ideas for fun Elf adventures.

(For those who don't know, Elf on a Shelf is an elf (a real Elf/doll) who comes to your house each year, watches you and reports back to Santa if you've been naughty or nice......daily. That's right people, screw the honesty policy, there's an elf in town and he doesn't just sit on a shelf in this house.
































I would like to add number 101 to the list.
101. Elf on a shelf cooks mom an amazing red velvet, pancake breakfast on Christmas morning. (after all, this IS make believe.)
