Home fer the Holidays....

Mornin' Ya'all!!!

It's lookin' to be another fabulous fall/winter day! :)
Now, I gotta start thinkin' bout what I'm gonna do fer the Holiday. I've got a large family, so everyone usually takes part. It's a tradition, and one of the only times of the year my 8 1/2 kids listens to me...LOL

On Thanksgiving, I usually have the kids all make a side dish or dessert. Now, this can be a good thing or a bad thing...LMAO!!! I've got 3 words....Gummi Worm Meatloaf!!!! EEEEK!!! I try not to have rules fer them, as I like them to express their creative sides, plus I wanna keep them helpful and interested, so it looks like I gotta take the road to educatin' the younger ones bout recipes and the proper way to cook things. Cuz I will tell ya, it took me a week to clean my teeth with all that Gummy Beef!!! LMAO!

Now fer Christmas, I make sure we all pitch in by doin' a Secret Santa with each other. Plus, I make sure each kid gets an actual present from Santa. I mean, Santa has been that way every since I was a little girl. ;) My kids know how tough it can be with finances and such, so they are actually grateful fer what they get. And, I make sure the kids aren't all about those Iphones and Ipads and crap like that. The only pads Im gonna have to worry bout buyin' are scrubbin' pads and maxi pads!!! LOL
We got one computer, and a schedule fer the older kids to use. Plus I got one of them blockers on there so they can't look up porn! Those Thorton boys are pervs, but they can go take a damn cold shower!!! Heehee...
Now, back to Christmas. We usually all have a tree trimmin' party, and when the Grandma's come over, they usually bring baked sweets as gifts fer the kids. And then we draw straws to see who's gonna go pick up Tex from jail! HA!

So, when they say the Holidays are Magical, they ain't jokin'! It truly is when everyone in my family comes together and are appreciative, of course, if I start in on the eggnog early, there's usually a drama scene to be acted out....AHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!!

Well, lemme know what some of ya'all do fer the Holidays, yer traditions and such.
Have a Happy Day!
