The Flu That Stole Christmas – Part II

That smile is not forged from anything wholesome.

I left you last, Christmas Eve, 1am, while our last guest had to be escorted by my father who walked her two houses down from where she lived.  She also had helped clean, although I believe broke a few dishes.

The Flu That Stole Christmas – Part I

Should I Run Around Naked This Christmas? (Please Say Yes!)

Got nothing on me, except about 40 lbs.
