Went from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel, took A LOT of sultan baths (the water was infused with perfume). Had these bluetooth headphones on so I could play music in the tub. Ate 10 meals a day (had pot roast every dinner with horseradish), bathed 6 times a day in the sultan, drank like a tub of pink lemonade, gained 5 kilos. The cruise ship lobby had this huge Christmas tree with fake snow on it and tons of lighting, families and their kids everywhere it was like the cruise ship was one giant family. Whenever I wanted quiet I just read at the library onboard. Will repeat.
Twas the night before christmas and all through the house, everyone felt shitty, even the mouse.
Mom at the whorehouse, dad smoking grass; I'd just settle down for a nice piece of ass. Out on the lawn, I heard such a clatter. I sprung from my chair to see what was the matter. When out on the lawn, I saw a big dick. I knew in a minute, it must be St. Nick. He came down the chimney like a bat out of hell. I knew in a moment, the fucker had fell. He stuffed all our stockings with pretzels and beer, and a big rubber dick for my brother the queer. He rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart. that son of a bitch blew my chimney apart. He swore and he cursed as he rode away, piss on you all and have a hell of a day
My dad said half the living room was mine, the other half belonged to my sister. The entire living room was filled with gifts! He told my brother his was in the garage. He definitely loved spoiling his kids Christmas was my dad's favorite time of year. He way out did himself that year. I will never forget that year :
We were also Jewish, and had 8 crazy nights as Adam Sandler has pointed out.
We did however get stockings on Christmas morning, stuffed with the usual chocolate Santas, popcorn balls, raisins, and maybe a small toy. My favorite gift from that was a small "tot" stapler. I was about 6, and always wanted a stapler. There seemed to be something about the power of attaching two pieces of paper together that fascinated me. In fact I still have that stapler and use it often at home. It's probably the oldest gift (excluding a birth cup) that I have.
into the kitchen before siblings were awake. Grandfather reading the paper while sipping coffee, then without a word he poured me half a cup and slid over the milk & sugar with a wink.
Grandmother fussing at him for my coffee but not taking it away, and instead putting down a hot chocolate so I could choose. The two of them chatting about daily stuff while I read the comic page from the paper. Then the table loading up with oranges, grapefruit, grapes, pancakes, sausage, eggs, grits, bacon, ham, and toast as everyone else started to wake up. But I got to keep my seat at the adult table next to my grandfather. Those 30 minutes or so with just my grandparents being themselves is better than any present money can buy.
A seemingly jolly fat guy knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good. And let’s not forget that you’re being warned not to shout or cry.
when I was 12 years old and WW2 was over I had been nagging my parents how much I wanted, needed, and deserved a bicycle. My dad had a Montgomery Wards bike laid away for me. In my pleading and snivvling about bikes I mentioned that I really didn't like the Monky Wards bikes. But, WOW the Western Auto bikes were really great. My dad canceled the layaway and bought me the one I coveted. I didn't know this for several years when my parents finally told me. I loved them and that bike.
Saw it on Broadway and it brought back a ton of memories when I'd go deer hunting. I miss Christmas at the hunting lodge. Managed to get stalked by a big cat once, that was fun.
I was 7 I think and beginning to think this Santa business was a big lie. I mentioned that to my oldest sister, who was around 11 then. She told me in no uncertain terms that Santa IS real, and in hushed tones told me about the time she snuck downstairs late on Christmas Eve and saw him with her own eyes. Well, I had to believe an eyewitness account from my oldest sister, so I got to hang onto my childhood innocence for a couple more years.
Another memory I cherish is when I was 10 (soon after my parents spilled the beans on Santa) and all I wanted for Christmas was a telescope. I'd seen one at Sears (this was a long time ago, when everyone shopped at Sears) when I was there with my dad and pointed it out to him. He was a very thrifty man, and huffed, "That's much too expensive!" So that as they say was that. Christmas morning came, and there was no telescope under the tree. No surprise. But what really got me down was there wasn't much of anything for me under the tree. As I wallowed in self-pity, my mom said, "Could you please go in your dad's office closet and get his robe?" I sulked over to the closet, opened the door, and there was the telescope.
