A Christmas Tale, but crapper - Part 4
Check out the entire Christmas Tale by clicking here! Thoughts of homicide aside (for the moment), we had a dilemma. A little over a week to Christmas and still no tree. The way things were going, it wasn’t looking like we would be having a proper Crimbo at all. FOOK!

A Christmas Tale, but crapper - Part 1
Check out the entire Christmas Tale by clicking here! Christmas is upon us again, oh joy! Like an STD that visits once a year, it can only be cured temporarily, with lashings and lashings of money. Nothing else works, believe me, I’ve tried all the creams. What follows is a slightly embellished version of my Christmas adventures in 2007 and 2008. Wow. If only blogs had pay per view. Now...
