'Twas the night before
Christmas and all through the kitchen ...
... I was cooking and baking and
moanin' and bitchin'. I've been here for hours, I can't stop to
rest. This room's a disaster, just look at this mess!
Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed.
They expect all the trimmings. Who cares what I need! My feet
are both blistered, I've got cramps in my legs. The cat just
knocked over a bowl full of eggs.
There's a knock at the door and the
telephone's ringing. Frosting drips on the counter as the
microwave's dinging. Two pies in the oven, dessert's almost
done; My cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs. I've had all
I can stand, I can't take anymore;
Then in walks my husband, spilling drink
on the floor. He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady;
then grins as he chuckles, "The egg nog is ready!" He looks all
around and with total regret, says, "What's taking so
long....aren't you through in here yet?!!!!"
As quick as a flash I reach for a knife;
He loses an earlobe; I wanted his life! He flees from the room
in terror and pain and screams, "MY GOD WOMAN, YOU'RE GOING
INSANE!!"
OK! Now what was I doing, and what is
that smell? Oh darn it's the pies! They're burned all to hell! I
hate to admit when I make a mistake, but I put them on BROIL
instead of on BAKE.
What else can go wrong? Is there still
more ahead? If this is good living, I'd rather be dead. Lord,
don't get me wrong, I love holidays; It just leaves me
exhausted, all shaky and dazed. But I promise you one thing, If
I live 'til next year, You won't find me pulling my hair out, in
here. I'll hire a maid, a cook, and a waiter; and if that
doesn't work, I'LL HAVE IT ALL CATERED!

A little girl was sitting
on her grandfather's lap as he read her a story.
From time to time, she would take her eyes
off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was
alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she
spoke, "Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God
made me a long time ago."
"Oh," she said and then "Grandpa, did
God make me too?"
Yes, indeed, honey," he answered." God
made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again,
she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?
