And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men. – Luke 2:8-14

Merry Christmas, GoJoy.
So you decided to come over to the dark side, eh?
Merry Christmas to my TCH family. May my Lord, Jesus the Christ bless each of you and your families with long life, good health, everlasting happiness, and abundant prosperity.
Merry Christmas to you too Tommy. We all wish the same blessing for you!
“It may not feel like it, but 2012 has been the greatest year in the history of the world. That sounds like an extravagant claim, but it is borne out by evidence. Never has there been less hunger, less disease or more prosperity. The West remains in the economic doldrums, but most developing countries are charging ahead, and people are being lifted out of poverty at the fastest rate ever recorded. The death toll inflicted by war and natural disasters is also mercifully low. We are living in a golden age….”

This isn’t about Reagan as much as it is about hearing the words of a leader at Christmas. It warmed my heart.

‘Bid to clone perfect Christmas trees – German scientists are searching for a way to clone the perfect Christmas tree. Scientists from the Berlin’s Humboldt University are planning to refine a method to clone popular Nordmann fir trees by 2016. They are looking for a method to ensure that the sensitive saplings of the popolur Nordmann fir species grow into impressive specimens. The fir is native to the Caucasas, but is often cultivated on massive plantations in Germany’. IMO, not a good idea.
Marijuana clones work really good.
So I hear.
RIP Charles Durning.
Klugman and Durning make two. Who will be number three?
MERRY CHIRISTMAS
we made it through 12-21-2012
Merry Christmas you bunch of scalawags. Ho, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum.
Why is, why is, why is the rum gone?
Merry Christmas Morning !!! I hope everyone is having a good morning ! It must be 2012 , my granddaughter texted me Merry Christmas !
Merry Christmas all! (My oldest gifted me with a phone that seems to be smarter than me. Hmmmm)
If you want to blow minds go into a cell phone store and ask for a regular phone that only makes and receives calls.
They will look at you like you are insane.
I have one of those. The grandkid keeps trying to use his finger on the screen.
Merry Christmas! Is it too early to put Frangelico in my coffee?
It is never too early–or too late–to put Frangelico in coffee. It’s always the right time for Frangelico. YUM! Merry Christmas!

Because this is a fair and balanced blog, I’d like to add a slideshow of the Clintons’ WH Christmasses. Class.

Thank you Denise.
Notice how happy the Clintons were to be in the WH…wow, so different from the current occupants. The Obamas have such negative attitudes and vibes.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!
Merry Christmas to all at TCH.
Merry Christmas Morning Noon and the rest of the day too.
‘Now meet the real Santa Claus – A man from Long Island who looks like Santa Claus legally changed his name in March so his moniker could match his face. Earlier known by the name Frank Pascuzzi, the father of 4, bears a striking resemblence to Santa. He has long white hair, a beard, a big belly, and a loud laugh. The 54 year old also likes to dress in red and white with sleigh bells draped around his neck. Pascuzzi claimed that he looks like Santa Claus and that people know him as Santa Claus’. Ho ho ho
Don’t know, myiq. The above was by Mens Health Magazine, so I assume its done only for men.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and happy new year folks!
Merry Christmas! I raise a virtual glass of eggnog to all the iconoclasts, contrarians, non-conformists, and rascals left in this crazy world.
Bells!
Amen
Merry Christmas everyone !!!
‘Anne Hathaway (over the publication of her near-nude photos) : I was getting out of the car and my dress was so tight that I didn’t realise it untill I saw all the photographers’ flashes. It was devastating. They saw everything. I might as well have lifted up my skirt for them’. Devastating indeed. Hollywoodian intelligence never ceases to amaze me. Is that an intelligence-free zone or something?
She was a celebrity Occupier. Or as my daughter would say, she’s living proof that it’s better to be pretty than smart.
She’s really really pretty though.
Oh yeah.
Those things are often publicity, on purpose. Either that or she’s an idiot. Or both.
Dandy, I’d go with the idiot bit. Hollywood stars (whether male or female) lack intelligence. They look good, act good, gain wealth. But zero matter between their 2 ears. And idiots is actually an understatement.
I am really weary of celebrities , most of them are such hypocrites.. She fails to mention that wearing underwear might have prevented her “overexposure” so pfffft.
Merry Christmas to everyone from Hawaii and my son and daughter-in-law’s home on Hickam Air Force Base!! Sadly, we’re leaving to go back to Ohio tonight. Happily, I won’t have to look at Air Force One 20,000 times a day to remind me of the fact that the Obamas followed me out here………
Mele Kalikimaka!!
Since yesterday I watched all of season 1 and half of season 2 of Justified.
It’s not quite as good as Breaking Bad but the nude scenes are better.
have to check that out when I get home…..
‘A smart toaster to give shade to bread: A US student has developed a new ‘smart’ toaster which can cook bread to a persons exact preferred shade of brown without burning it. The toaster ditches traditional time settings in favour of a state-of the-art color sensing method to ensure the bread inside never burns. The ‘Hue’ smart toaster has been designed by 21 year old Basheer Tome from the Georgia Inst of Tech. When the bread is put into the new toaster, an electronic screen on the machine displays the color of the slice as it is’.
That sounds pretty cool actually, but probably toaster overkill!
Beats holding the bread over a candle.
lol

Merry Christmas to everyone at TCH!
Merry Christmas to TCH and all posters. May Santa bring you joy and blessings in your stockings along with a bottle of your favorite refresher.
Cooking Christmas dinner. Ham is in the oven. Discovered I’m out of scalloped potato mix. Experimenting with a cross between shredded hash browns and potatoes au gratin.
“Potatoes Au Rotten”
Mom is coming by at 5 with beer.
better than trashed potatoes
I’ve made those before too.
Drunk cooking is when the recipes get “interesting”
I was making enchiladas one time and grabbed the cinnamon instead of the chili powder.
I don’t even need to be drunk to make a kitchen disaster ; it has been a long time , but there was this one time , when the lid to the celery seed fell off over the potato salad . that wasn’t good.
We’re having our Christmas dinner tomorrow night because hubby works tonight. I didn’t want to do potatoes with ham, so I’m doing this recipe instead. I think it’ll pair well. That, country green beans, and yeast rolls will finish off the meal.

They came out really good!
just because it’s Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all at the Crawdad Hole!
But they mean well. And you’re stupid if you don’t understand how they’re right, right up until the point where they’re wrong.
Except they are never wrong. It’s someone else’s fault. No one could have foreseen. I blame Mitt Romney.
My Justified marathon is almost over. I’m watching the last episode of season 2 right now.
26 episodes since 2 pm yesterday.
I’m sure you had your reasons. Get it, reason, justification.. {{if you have to explain your jokes…}}
Now I’m Breaking Bad.
