It is here
That I am supposed to write something deep and thoughtful about the season.
I just can’t. I’m so tickled to just be alive that I cannot express it in words. I am surrounded by a bunch of literal grinches, and I love them so damned much I’ve decided to be the Christmas Spirit for them despite their grinchiness, and it fills me with great joy.
I hope for each of you that you have someone or something that brings you the joy I feel right now. I hope you hold that person/animal/shotgun/whatever close to you every day and feel the joy it brings you.
There are advantages to being a grouchy old bastard. It don’t take a bunch to make us really happy. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your little clan as well as to all wander in here. And you are right about not needing much to raise my cheer. Thanks.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you, the Ogwife, Oglet, and Partner too! MC and Mr B
Merriest of Christmases Og.
The warmest wishes from our little house to yours and a big hug for the Mrs. and the Oglette from all of us.
Merry Christmas your self, you old coot. And many more.
Merry Christmas to you and the og-clan. Count me among the “too blessed to be depressed”, too.
I’ve reached the age where a brand new pair of thick Smart Wool socks makes me absolutely giddy.
Right now I’m sitting by the wood heater converting some well-seasoned hickory into ash while the bluetick coonhound licks my toes. Like George Bailey, I’m the richest man in town.
Merry Christmas…Happy New Year… and to all a Good Night.
Merry Christmas, Og! God bless you and the Ogwife and Oglet.
Belated Merry Christmas Og, was too busy yesterday to bother with the Internet. My wife is the joy of my life, I try to tell her that every day.
When people first meet me they think I’m a grouchy, cantankerous, anti-social old bastard. Once they get to know me they realize they were mistaken though. My parents were married.
