My absolute favorite part of this Christmas classic… made even more funny by where I am writing this blog post from this Christmas!

Merry Christmas!  Tis-the-season to be Jorry Jolly!

Christmas is almost here!

Christmas is almost here and wow, are we busy!  There is just so much activity here around this time of the year.

For example, today started out with a trip to our favorite photo studio to get a nice family portrait done for Christmas…

Then we came home and I finished up getting ready for my last classes of the semester.  (I give my final exam next week.)

Today in my classes, Erica brought the girls by to help give out cookies to all 183 of my students and to sing some Christmas songs for them.

After that, we had dinner and then we were out the door again to go to the girl’s school for their Christmas party.  We were originally told there would be 15 or so people there and we were asked to give a performance for about 10 minutes.  Well, it turned out that there were 100+ people there!

Erica was able to share with the crowd about the true meaning of Christmas and then the girls sang “Away in a Manger” to everyone’s delight.  We returned home around 9:30ish – waaaay past everyone’s bedtime.  But we sure did have fun!

Tomorrow is Christmas eve and there is a whole new set of activities and parties!  Should be fun!

Isn’t he gorgeous!?

Funny the things you remember.  I can clearly remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard that the passionate and always energetic “Crocodile Hunter” aka Steve Irwin had passed away.  That was a little over two years ago (Sept. ’06)

I was looking for some media to share in my Society & Culture class for a lecture on Australia and I came across this funny ESPN Sportscenter commercial with  Steve Irwin and Albert, the mascot for the Florida Gators!

Tebowisms

Last year I wrote a post that included some “Tebowisms“, you know statements that recognize the awesomeness and total domination that exists in the Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow.  Here are a few;

  • “When Tim Tebow was a kid, he made his mom finish his vegetables.
  • “Tim Tebow doesn’t punch in to work. He stiff-arms.
  • “People with amnesia still remember Tim Tebow.
  • “Tim Tebow gets called for roughing the tackler.”

You may recognize some (many) of them as statements that were formerly assigned to our favorite Texas Ranger – Chuck Norris.  No offense Chuck, but there is a new sheriff in town.

Tebow for Heisman number TWO!
