Fly On The Wall In A Holiday House

 
      Welcome to my special Fly On The Wall holiday edition, hosted by Karen of http://www.bakinginatornado.com. We've made the fly quite dizzy this month with our frenzied holiday  preparations. He might have landed in my spiked eggnog the other day, so don't believe everything he tells you that he overheard in my home. It's probably the rum talking.

"Oh good, it's Christmas! Time to play my favorite holiday board game, 'Gorge, Party And Purge.'"

"Elves are the illegitimate children of Mrs. Claus, who was the original ho. That's why Santa yells, "Ho Ho Ho!'"

"Reindeer poop is magic fertilizer for the garden---kind of like Miracle Grow."
"Does this mean the roses will sprout antlers?"


"You have too many tubs full of holiday stuff here! You belong on Hoarders….the Christmas edition."

"Santa must have been agoraphobic. He only left his house once a year to drop off gifts and pilfer cookies."

"What is the nog in eggnog? The dregs of the egg?"

"Stop feeding the dog so much Christmas ham. Pretty soon she's going to need a pug girdle."

"I think I have a holiday yeast infection."
"Then you're out of luck because I don't think they make Monistat for men."

"He hated having to wear that tux to the party. He was practically foaming at the mouth for a beer…..it made him look like a rabid penguin."


"Are those moose knuckles in your pants or are you just happy to meet me under the mistletoe?"

"I love your holiday rum cake but it always gives me heartburn. I'll need a barrel o' Tums after eating a slice. An enema might also be in order."

"What does he want for Christmas?"
"An alligator, but it needs to be toothless."
"Why, so it can gum him to death?"

"Are you planning on spending New Year's Eve passed out on the front lawn again?"
"I wouldn't mind it as long as there aren't anymore fire ants on the grass. Last year I woke up looking like I had measles."

"What a nice surprise! A Coconut Bliss pillow from the mattress store for Christmas. It smells like vanilla cake. If I wake up a few pounds heavier tomorrow and the pillow is missing, you'll know why."


"Feeling blue during Christmas? All you need is pug therapy!"

"I  just had a two layer burp---Special K cereal on top of taco salad. I think I'll follow it up with some Christmas fudge."

"I don't need Viagra. I have you."
"Now THAT'S the holiday gift that keeps on giving!"

"Elves are the mischievous cousins of yard gnomes. Forget 'Elf On The Shelf.' We have Elf In The Butt."

"Time to upgrade your radio for Christmas, Mom. You know, they do make ones that aren't as big and heavy as a cinder block."

"I just got my period after two years, just in time for Christmas. WTH, I'm menopausal! Well played, Santa."

"Next year I want to be in the Christmas boat parade."
"Forget it---the pirate rum ships disappeared a long time ago."

"I'm not trying to be a grinch but I'm tired of putting up Christmas yard decorations. The lights always burn out and inevitably the reindeers will end up beheaded. The others have backward antlers. They're dyslexic reindeers."


     Merry Christmas from our crazy home to yours! Now put down that eggnog and go visit the other merry bloggers participating in today's Fly On The Wall!

  2. I had no doubt that your family is going to have one hell of a Christmas do. Wish I was there, even though I don't celebrate it. I have an urge to be crazy with you all, if you know what I mean.

    Your pug needs to stop exposing herself, and your husband needs to think about what message he is sending out to millions with a pose like that, ha ha ha. A slight bend with a cocky face :). And the elf in the bottom? And it's not even Christmas yet, so I can't wait to hear about what happens next in your household.

    Have a great one MM, enjoy because we only have one life to live and nobody has come back from beyond to tell us any different.
    Seasonal Greetings. You've been a very good friend to me and being from the East End of London we don't forget.

    1. You are so kind, RPD. I hope one day you'll hop on a plane and pay me a visit. We could sip libations in my garden and chat about this crazy thing called life. Thanks for being such a dear friend! XO

  5. Two things: One can never have too many holiday tubs. NEVER! And...you must have the most cooperative guy in the world. What a ham! Um...I'd pack that elf away somewhere for a while after hitting it with a little Lysol. Just sayin'.

  10. Marcia! Your family! Those sayings! I am buying a ticket to visit you after the holidays.I want a toothless alligator and a double layered burp :) I hope you have the happiest holiday season. I feel blessed having you as a bloggy friend :)

  11. Your kids are utterly gorgeous, your dog is adorable, your home is warm & hysterical & we want you to adopt both of us & talk to us 24/7 as you have the best & most comedic outlook on life EVER!! We are still laughing over this one & had never heard of the coconut pillow nor the theory that Mrs. Clause was a ho, ho, ho!! Makes sense as to why Mr. Clause has learned how to be a crew member of CHEATERS sneaking into peoples chimneys & lurking around their roof at night!! As for the "Elf on a Shelf" we''ve been so tired of seeing this on every blog that your buttcrack-elf gave a whole new meaning to "Santa's little helpers". From that position I can most definitely see where they'd be of some use. lol~ This was great MenoMama~ we will be sharing this with all of our networking community so as to spread the wonderful gift of Christmas laughter!! :)

  13. Merry Christmas Marcia from Australia! You've made me feel like Rum Cake. It was hilarious as usual. Do you mind if I use the "Fly on the Wall" theme for one of my blog posts? I'll put a link to your site on as well of course. If you just want to reply on here I'll check back...or I've reinstalled comments on my blog :)
