Back in October, some clever J-Lander came up with the idea to "Trick or treat" through J-Land. I met so many wonderful new friends and found some great journals. So now I think the time has come to go Caroling through J-Land.
To participate:
1) Make an entry titled "Caroling Through J-Land" with these same instructions so others can play along.
2) Visit as many journals as you can and look for their entry titled "Caroling Through J-Land". Leave the title of your favorite carol, along with your name and link to your journal for other carolers.
3) Spread the word so we all can meet new friends and spread some Christmas cheer!
4) Caroling ends this Sunday night at midnight to give everyone plenty of time to make the rounds.
Happy Caroling and Merry Christmas! 
My song....... Carol of the Bells!!!
If you can't read it...
"It's not worth it Roy, Lets just give him (rabbit with hair dryer pointed at them) our noses (carrots) & let him go."
Did you see the link on AOL's home page?
Burt Reynolds singing Frosty the Snowman (click) and a video of the Legend of Frosty the Snowman? (click) Frosty lifts his own head off his body...ICK! Listen, man is that odd. Not sure what Burt sounds like? Maybe just getting old. He will be 70 yrs old in 2006...man that is hard to believe. How did the Bandit get that old? Actually, I think I'd rather have Jerry Reid sing! HA!
Well, I still like the Classics! You can watch some clips of Christmas Show Classics (click)if you like. I got my 3 pack for Christmas last year (Frosty, Rudolph & Santa Claus is Coming To Town). I remember my little niece a few years ago kept exclaiming to everyone that "Santa Clause was coming TO TOWN" emphasizing those last two word so much it was hysterical. I'm so excited. She gets out of school Friday like me. My folks are flying in from AZ tomorrow morning! YA! I haven't seen them since beginning of Nov. The four of us are going to see the Rockettes next Tues evening & I'm sooooo excited. My niece wanted to see them & then my folks said they wanted to go. My niece is at the age now where if she sees something she doesn't forget! Ha! Before you could get away with not doing something if you couldn't, but now, nope...she sees it & she'll remind you plenty! I'll bring my camera & see if I can take some pictures. My niece loves dancing & singing & the whole stage & big costumes will just get her so excited. Got her an aisle seat as they come through the aisle dancing! I'm just excited to see her expression.
Well, that was my dinner break. Back to grading. Going to go to Meditation tonight though. I can really use it this week. Didn't get much sleep last night so I may head to bed early & get up early. We are suppose to get hit with snow again tomorrow afternoon/evening so I'll try to head in earlier so I can get out of there. 
Ok, people I know it is getting a bit stressful with shopping & decorating etc. but I think this goes beyond holiday stress! I received these pictures in my email today & just shock my head! 
How do you explain this! There is just no reason for it! Not that far. I mean someone clips you before the booth not watching trying to cut in etc but this!? I'd like an explanation! They should have their driving priviledges taken away! No toy is worth this. Just CHILL! This is when I wave to drivers & smile & say, "Sure go right ahead...I don't mind!" Nothing irritates them more when you are not upset by them yelling & making gesture at you! Ha!
Just Click Here and have a bit of a de-stressor! 
I couldn't resist! This card was just so good! I love how it just reminds us everything is a matter of perspective! I thought this would be a good reminder for everyone as people are stressing out with the holidays and OTHER THINGS! :-) I suppose it is like the other sayings...though I've had friends make those funny for me too....
When life gives you lemons...add some water, ice & vodka! Ha!
When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot in it, wrap it around the person's head who is bugging you! Ha!
Actually, I think those came from Maxine! HA!
Any other favorites out there? 
This is why people either love shopping with me or hate it! HA! I think that is true of me in general! HA! Like the line in "Something's Gotta Give" when Diane Keaton says "I'm not sure if you hate me or you're like the only person who has every got me?" and Nicholson says, "Well, I don't hate you"
I'm in Toys R Us finishing up a gift for my Angel Gift for a 3 yr old girl. They had the tags hanging in our mall. She wants anything Disney. The other day I found some Cinderella Markers & Crayons & a book & today I added a Princess coloring book, Cinderella Night light (they had it mismarked $1.99 when it was $7.99...don't you love those bargains!), Cinderella topped straw cup ($1.18! Summer Clearance!) and a Big Disney book with tons of stories to last her a good number of years of reading.
So as I'm looking around, of course taken in the kids having fun in the store & the parents desperately needing some Christmas Spirit & finding their child within, I spot Superman! Is it just me or does Superman look like he has been bulking up? Think he is "stuffing" his uniform? Ha! Perhaps some Creatine or for shame...do we have to do a Steroids test on him? Sad day when Superman has to get tougher for our society! Yep...I was taking pictures in Toys R Us! HA! I tell you I'm nuts with this digital camera. You never know where I'm going to pull it out! HA! I just can't believe what they have done to Superman. That is not my Superman!
I liked it when Superman used his brain more than relying on bulk. You think he is having an inferiority complex with all the new Superheros? What are these young boys going to think? I won't speak for all women of course, but personally there is a point where it is too much. You are like hugging mass & not their spirit! And look at Superman...does he look cute & nice? Nope...he looks mean now. Like "Don't Mess With Me!" Ugh! I just can't get over this! I want Chris Reeve back as Superman! You should have heard me in the store! I think I'm going to interview some kids there! HA! I want to know what they are getting from this! 
Then I turn the aisle & find this! UGH!!!!! Lounge Kitty! Good God! Who is this marketed for??? A Barbie like doll in a cat suit lying seductively on a couch! Ya, I want my young niece having this doll! NOT! Who is creating these things? More importantly who is buying these for their kids! I'll have their heads! I mean ok, some fun guy gets it for me...that would be cute in my stocking, but I don't think he is going to look in Toys R Us for me! Reminds me of the movie "Love Actually". That scene where Emma Thompson asks Alan Rickman, "Now which doll shall we give Daisy's little friend Emily? The one that looks like a transvestite or the one that looks like a dominatrix?" UGH!!!
Now if they had Superman & this Lounge Kitty together...man! Ha! What happened to Christmas and Childhood! Am I just getting old? I don't think so! I mean I'm pretty fun but these are kids!
Oh God...I'm listening to The Lite FM & they have this kid telling this joke....
"Mom...what did Mrs. Claus say to Santa while she looked out the window?"
"It looks like rain....dear!"
HA! I have no clue why, but I'm laughing hysterically. I love kids! I swear if kids were not around we would all go nuts! And this is why I'm so upset about the Superman & Lounge Kitty!
