The holidays, a Christmas sock,
turkey cooking in the oven,
remembering how wrong I’ve been,
my mind listens for Santa’s knock.
His sleigh is coming t’wards my block,
I cannot change my acts of sin,
the time I laughed at Joey’s chin,
or put that roach in papa’s beer…
The bells! A ho-ho-ho – he’s here!
God help me! Santa’s in the den!
Lol I reckon he/she got away with it. Apparently according to one of our supermarket adverts there no naughty list this year!
Phew 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My daughter (a hellion if there ever was one) said in her teen years, “It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.”
She turned out to be a very strong woman of whom I am quite proud.

We all want to see strong, proud women, even though they truly test the mettle of those raising them!

Things like Décima are beyond my talents. I possibly could do it, but it would take me all day.
