We both just had tears of laughter running down our faces recalling this Christmas Eve memory.

[LuckyCharms]

In-laws house.

House full of people. All warm and fuzzy, the Christmas spirit abounding.

Coincidently, In-laws' cocker spaniel was just neutered and was wearing the cone of shame.

Just ate a nice dinner, everyone feeling nostalgic.

I have a passable singing voice...so in the living room, I said "Can I sing a Christmas song"?

Yes, please sing it!

So I said "OK, I'll try to do it without getting emotional"

Everyone is looking at me real serious like, and I started singing gently.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
Folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways

(Then I picked up the dog while I sang, and kind of made out like the dog was continuing the song)
Where'd my balls go?
Where'd my balls go?
Where'd my balls go?
You rotten bastards.

Kind of hard to explain in writing, but it got a good laugh and it is brought up every year since at Christmas.

1. Was the dog's name Chester?

”Chester’s nuts resting in an open jar….”

7. It was probably over 20 years ago that this occurred. But as it turned out tonight...

My wife turned off the TV after dinner. She turned on the radio to a Christmas music station, then she laid down on the couch.

I almost never sit on the couch with her (I have a chair that I like to sit in), but tonight I picked up her feet and sat down on the couch with her feet in my lap.

We were sitting there quietly, not speaking, just listening to the Christmas music.

This song came on the radio.

I see my wife's face out of the corner of my eye, and she's smiling. I looked at her a few seconds later and she had tears streaming down her face because she's trying not to laugh.

Then we both started screaming laughing.

And not a word was said about this incident that happened a long time ago, but we both knew why we were laughing!

11. Bravo, LuckyCharms!

Reminds me of the time my husband and I were at his sister's house on Christmas Eve.

We have the same humorous bent and I'd just satirized lyrics to Camelot changing the words to illustrate his rather 'active' bladder, and began to recite:

"Each evening from December to December
before you drift to sleep upon your cot,
think back on this tired member... this poor bladder, I



PISSALOT!"

(MERRY CHRISTMAS, DU BUDDIES!)
