Daily Grin December 23
We have four days off. I did bring a little work home with me, but not much. I had a very productive day today, except for a few minutes when I got distracted by Santa. Santa came to our office today and I invited him to sit in my lap. Of course, Santa correctly insisted that it should be ME sitting in HIS lap!! I think I made Santa blush when I told him I was probably going to be a naughty girl. I know *I* was blushing! lol Especially when Santa told me he leaves something SPECIAL for naughty girls! I think I was one of the last folks to leave the office today.
It's been very cold here.... close to -40F or colder with the windchill for a couple of days now.
Tomorrow, we'll pick up the turkey we ordered, do a quick shopping trip and then settle in for a long winter's night.
Two days to Christmas!!! J

The strange Christmas scene
In a small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me.
The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.
Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You stupid Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"
From the redneck dictionary:
FAR - noun. A conflagration. Usage: "If my brother from Jawjuh don't change the all in my pickup truck, that thing's gonna catch far."
