Christmas Cheer

 Welcome!

All kaleidoscopes by inkspired and KaleidoCam 

Let’s start the holiday season off 

with some cheerful red and green!

Not feeling too cheery?

Find something to laugh at!

Something to wear to the annual Christmas party.

Now why didn’t I think of that?

Even those funny celebrities we love 

know how to dress for the parties.

Katy Perry

A young Debbie Reynolds

Madonna as ummm, a, Christmas tree....?

Okayyyyy,

The ‘new’ blogger has just frozen my choice of font, size and color so I guess we are stuck with black and whatever else they have chosen.

If blogger.com is trying to drive people away and go to other blog servers, 

I think they are doing a pretty good job.

All of which does not seem very cheerful to me, 

Ok, rant over.

So I think I need to find some humor fast!

Oh yes! That’s a good one.

Do you have funny holiday pictures lurking in your family?

Here’s another:

Ho! Ho! Ho!

This thoughtful pooch thinks those kids are silly...

This Kitty doesn’t care.

Mellow Kitty...

I have found new-to-me holiday themes cartoons this year.

Here are a few:

This princess needs no introduction -

She’s ready for her photo session!

Oh those dogs...

So....have you cracked a smile yet?

You know what would make me smile?

Post a short note to me!

Sometimes it feels very lonely out here in blogger-land.

Not sure who is having the worst time here.

I hope you don’t mind I have not been posting the artists’ names today.

I felt each cartoon was pretty well identified .

The photos have been re-posted so many times on Pinterest 

I really could not tell whose photo was posted originally.

I’m happy others share their humor however!

😘

Time to go.

Been an ‘off’ few weeks. I apologize  for not posting more.

I am working on some drawings to show you better 

how to finish your Mermaid Altered tin diorama

Truth,

Usually discovered before coffee and/or 10 am -

It’s not such a good idea to ‘put a few decorations’ on your tree.

Ornaments fall, and crash.

Trees want to tip over.

Hangers go flying.

(The dog does enjoy the candy canes 

that were supposed to stay at the top of the tree however.)

You’re going to have to re-do it all anyway, once you are awake.

Go make a cup of coffee now...

See you soon!

Humor for all and special humor for friends

Today, we need humor.

I read the Yahoo headlines many times before I start my blog.

It is mostly depressing, with a few humorous shots if you really look hard.

In today's blog

you shouldn't need to look too hard!

"If a woman has to choose

between catching a fly ball

and saving an infant's live,

she will choose to save the infant's life

without even considering

if there is a man on base..."

Did you know that laughing can lower your blood pressure?

Did you know that laughing can extend your life years?

Did you know that humor in a marriage = longer marriage?

'Spoiled Milk!'

What lies at the bottom of the ocean

and twitches?

'A nervous wreck!'

What goes CLOP, CLOP, CLOP,

BANG, BANG,

CLOP, CLOP, CLOP?

'An Amish drive-by shooting!'

Now remember, humor is humor.

It is in its' truest form not meant to be derogatory or demeaning

to any one people, race, gender, disability...

you get the idea.

So, take my humor at face value.

Do not read into it any deep religious undertones,

or a hidden agenda against ___________ (fill in the blank).

My humor is just something that makes me laugh,

and I hope it makes you laugh too!

Clowns make us laugh!

Sometimes intentionally, and sometimes not.

Sometimes in costume,

and sometimes not!

Songs can make us laugh!

How can you not laugh at this song sheet cover?

'Old Fashioned Garden' (with a stork and a flapper?)

from the 'Hitchy-Koo Musical Review'!

'When I die, I want to die like my grandfather -

who died peacefully in his sleep.

Not screaming like all the passengers in his car."

cast of TV show - '3rd Rock'

Doncha' love John Lithgow?!

and another favorite -

Jerry Lewis, who loved to play the 'fall' guy for Dean Martin,

yet was terrific all on his own too!

Notes on true friendship:

Promises I give to my friends -

When you are confused ... I will use little words.

When you are scared ... we will high-tail it out of here.

When you smile ... I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

When you fall ... I'll pick you up and dust you off.

When you are sick ... Stay away from me until your are well again.

I don't want whatever you have.

When you are worried ... I will tell you horrible stories about How Much Worse it could be until you quit whining, ya' big baby!!

and last, but not least,

When you are sad ... I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey after drinking a 6-pack of Mountain Dew!!!
