“Mom’s cooking chicken and collard greens”

We’re just a mere few hours away before midnight hits and Santa comes down the chimney(or for us chimney-lacking folks he uses the key under the “welcome” mat.) So make sure you’ve got those milk and cookies waiting out for the big guy and the dog is secured, otherwise you’ll be getting coal in your stocking and melted, dirty snow under the tree. We know how this works guys. We’ve been doing it for some time now(some more than others.)

I’d just like to let everyone know out there that I wish you all the merriest Christmas and happiest of New Years. I hope this Christmas Eve finds you with loved ones in a warm and cozy home, Christmas cheer in the air and Christmas spirits in your glass. Raise that glass to those that may not be as fortunate; maybe they’ve lost loved ones this year, have hit hard times financially or emotionally, or maybe they just don’t have that support group that you do. Wish them well, give them a call, invite them over and share that warmth with them. I think that may fall under the “Christmas Spirit” banner, too. While things may be going alright for you, others may not be as fortunate.

Just saying.

Anyways, I love you all. Here’s to 2017 and more posts about music, life, movies, comics, and whatever the hell else comes to mind.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

To my friends in Europe, Australia, and beyond…I hope you’re having a great one!
