3rd annual HICK CHIC CHRISTMAS BLOG PARTY!!!!!

It's blog party time!  

Come on in!  Just step through my imaginary front door here- oh thank you, yes, I'm glad you like it.  The kids and I made the pine cone garland from things found out in the back forty.  Yep, we put on the snowshoes and made an afternoon of it.  Good times!  But come in, it's cold out there and my imaginary farm house is toasty warm!

Just kick off your shoes and oh here, have some egg nog!  It's okay if you don't normally like it, because this stuff is special.  It's BLOG NOG!  Everybody on the planet likes BLOG NOG!

Hey, which one of you rascally pirates brought the rum???  You scallywags!  Ah well, sneak a drop in there if you want to.  I won't tell.  

Nice jugs.  I can't believe I just said that.  Bwa ahahahaha!  Okay forget I said that.  

Warm up your toes beside my fireplace!  I know, it's like Pine Cone World in here.  Crazy eh?  It snowed a lot that day.  I didn't feel like going anywhere. 

mmmmm, fireplace...

Want some cookies?  Or some of these... other things?  I baked so much I don't even remember what I made.  Oh heck it was worth it.

Seriously, go ahead.  You won't get a belly ache or gain an ounce.  That's why I loooove to Blog Party!  Also my bathrooms are sparkling clean.  And my house is magazine quality.  Virtual partying is AWESOME!

My son Bucky put up the tree and decorated it!  My girl The Tribble did all the arty hangy pretty floaty stuff.  I told them they could stop by the party later.  They're old enough.  I think.

Ha, look what I found!  The old BOOM BOX!  HOPE YOU BROUGHT YOUR MIX TAPES!

Wouldn't be right if we didn't have the TINY CHEESEBURGERS!  Yay!!

And back by popular demand, by request... DEEP FRIED BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGE THINGIES WITH BARBECUE SAUCE!!!

Of course if that's too low brow for you, here's some nice elegant white wine.
Or red.  Caution:  I think the red-ache will still happen in imaginary world. I don't know for sure because I can't take the red.  So you're on you own here!  I'm not telling you your business, man, I'm not out to ruin your trip or anything... 

And remember there's always nice cool water to drink.  I love a tall cool drink of water!

And hey, doncha just love eating things with little sticks in 'em?  It's like finger food... but not!

Almost forgot - free beer!
If you figure out what these little silver ball things are on the cookies, please tell me.  I don't care, I'm gonna eat them anyways, I'm just curious.

Party always ends up in the kitchen?

Shoo!  Go sit in my beautiful dining room!  I even lit the fireplace for you!  Oh I love this room.  I think I'l sit here for awhile.

Although the breakfast nook is cozy too.  Let me light the candles,and the fireplace.  Ah that's better.  So, tell me how your year's been.  Any plans for '09?  
If you need to get away from it all, you can go hang around my library for a minute or two.  I didn't get it all Christmas decorated - even in imaginary world I get really busy - but it is lovely in here.  I lit the fireplace in here just in case, and you're welcome to wrap that blanket around your shoulders.  
I love the library.  Let's say it like we're British: LYE-bruree.  

Now let's say it like we're from the Sowwwth:  LAH-brair- eh.

Now let's say it like we're Canadian: library.

HAHAHA that was fun!

Want some cheese with your whine?  I mean, wine with your cheese?  Gah, there's that pesky red wine again.  Maybe the magic blog cheese defeats the red-ache.  You wanna be brave and try it out for me?

Oops, the boombox cacked out on us.  I guess we'll have to sing.  Gather around the ol piano, kids!  Which one of you knows how to actually play this thing?  
Just a sec, gotta move the stuff on the seat.  There you go.  Let's sing!  Yay!  

Pass the Blog Nog!
