Well, I thought Christmas was going pretty well. I’ve strung lights, made cookies, bought Christmas gifts, gone to church, and put up the tree. True, maybe I missed the boat on a few things. Like I almost helped an old lady across the street but she was kind of slow and I was in a hurry and there wasn’t anything over there for her to go to anyway. But hey, nobody is perfect.
At first it was like, hey, that’s interesting. I wonder what’s in the bag? It is kind of suggestive, don’t you think? Red bag, and gold embroidered lettering. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make this. You know they say good things come in small packages.
So I opened it up, and what?
The dreaded lumps of coal.
So, I don’t know. Is Santa running ahead of schedule? Clearing all the bad boys off the list, because there are so many of us maybe. Or maybe he has to get rid of his coal because of the impending global warming legislation coming up. Is Santa not green?
Or maybe the coal was a warning from a Rogue Elf? Maybe I need straighten my act up? I don’t know. Maybe the Rogue Elf is actually, The Ghost of Christmas Future? Oh, that’s not good. That doesn’t bode well.
I started to do my research. Who could this Rogue Elf be. After much exhausting surfing on the net and even more games of Facebook Bejewled Blitz trying to figure this out, bingo, I found the Rogue Elf. Her name is Baloney. She has her own blog, evil elf dot com. Check it out.
What do you think? Do I deserve lumps of coal or not? Am I not a nice guy? Is it too late or can I redeem myself?
Are you getting coal for Christmas? What did you do to deserve it? We want to know!
Funny! Thanks for the Saturday morning laugh. =)
Each day we should treat like christmas…hard to do but the littlest things the other day I was in the market and an elderly man had a bag but it was same ole’ plastic one so I gave him one of my good recycle and use cloth ones he was so grateful to me and it just made my heart swell……oh feel the season daily
THAT IS A HOOT! Made me think of another blog post topic…stay tuned!
Maybe Santa has no sense of humor and actually takes all of your teasing and joking seriously… If so, you could be in trouble.
Or maybe Santa just thinks you’re cold and could use a little fire in the hearth.
You think it was me?! Prove it.
I think Santa is just mad about your license plate, that’s what I think. That and skirtlifting.
Still beating you at blitz. Ho Ho Ho!!
@Tasha – thanks for stopping by.
@Iani – you are definitely right. Every day should be like Christmas. You sure made somebody’s day. Good for you!
@Jenn Jilks – I’m tuned. I check your blog almost every day.
@Janie – Anybody with a twinkle in their eye has to have a sense of humor.
@Baloney – I know its you girl. You are the only elf I know. Besides I was able to get a dna sample off the coal. And it matches you!!
fyi – Santa loves my license plate. He wants to bother it on Christmas.
A pretty bag and carbon-based fuel. These are good things. Naught is obviously good. Congratulations.
The Chinese have a saying, the best gift is ” Giving coal in a blizzard.”
So you got a great gift.
@Sandy Carlson – You always have a great way of looking at things.
@Ann – I love it.
@Baloney – When I tell the people at work I’m going skirt lifting for lunch I always get a lot of women who want to do it also.
Bad is Good, that’s my Motto, Yogi (though I have trouble following it!) However, the next time you see me crossing the street, you’d better slow down and help…
@Barb- Being good and being nice are sometimes two different things.
I’ll keep an eye out for you Barb.
THAT’S hilarious!!!!!!
Loved this post Yogi! I even had to read it to brett. Of course, he had to know all about your license plate!
Pobody’s nerfect!
Only two lumps? Ha-ha!
