Silly Christmas Funny of the Day..... December 8th

 .


A Russian couple was walking down the street in St. Petersburg the other night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to his wife.

"No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied. "No, I'm sure it was just rain, he said." Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor communist party official walking toward them. "Let's not fight about it," the man said, "let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing."

As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?"

"It's raining, of course," he answered and walked on. But the woman insisted: "I know that felt like snow!" To which the man quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

(Oh, come on now, you know you are laughing.....  )

Maxine Explains Healthcare Reform.....

.




Let me get this straight . . . .

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care

plan we are forced to purchase and

fined if we don't,

Which purportedly covers at least

ten million more people,

without adding a single new doctor,

but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,

written by a committee whose chairman

says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that didn't read it but

exempted themselves from it,

and signed by a President who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who

didn't pay his taxes,

for which we'll be taxed for four years before ANY

benefits take effect,

by a government which has

already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general

who is obese,

and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

'What the hell could

possibly go wrong?'

Monday's Music Moves Me - It's Hanukkah Time

.

 
 
Photobucket



Hey there my rockin' friends, it's time once again for our Monday's Music Moves Me, the fantastic music meme that XmasDolly and I are hosting, along with Larry from Cakeblast and Callie from JamericanSpice. Won't you play along... here are the rules:



First step: You need to run on over to You Tube, (or wherever your find your songs/videos) and get your pick for the day according to the theme. Upcoming themes are over on Dolly's blog on the right sidebar.


Second Step: Grab our "Monday's Music Moves Me" button above or on Dolly's right sidebar.

Third step: Dance with (follow) your hostesses (that would be me and Dolly); grab our buttons; then sign the linky, either here or on Dolly's blog - they are linked.


  Final step: Start lookin' for a partner and boogie on down to her blog (or his), and say hello by leaving a comment, and tag (follow) her/him. If you've been tagged (followed) be polite, and go on over there, leave a comment and tag (follow) her/him back.


In honor of the holidays, for the whole month of December, we are posting holiday songs.  Well, since Hanukkah began on Wednesday, I chose the following, with NO disrespect meant what-so-ever.  I happen to love the history behind the holiday of Hanukkah and I love this song as well.




Adam Sandler's Original Chanukah (Hanukkah) Song






Part 2 (not as good as the first, but still cute)





And finally, Part 3 (also not nearly as good as Part 1, but OK)





I think Part 1 will always be the funniest and the BEST, a true holiday classic.... OK, maybe not a classic, but I have to hear it every year, and it puts a smile on my face. Hope you liked it  - or at least tolerated it!


Now, don't forget to sign the linky and visit the participants and leave a comment. For more Monday music fun, visit Amanda, Run DMT and Hairbows & Guitar Picks. You may even be picked as the Spotlight Couple for next week like our couple for this week... who were chosen by Random.org. The SPOTLIGHT COUPLE of the week for today is:




~~ Joanie's Random Ramblngs              ~~ Xortr's Ramblings





So let's get dancing, get into the Christmas spirit and have some fun... Since next week we are continuing our theme of Christmas songs for the month. If you don't celebrate Christmas, that's OK, just post something that moves you, we are happy to have anyone play along - WE LOVE EVERYBODY!!
 
 

ROCK ON EVERYBODY!!!

After a really tense registration period and an equally tense waiting period to find out who would be able to attend, this is what myself and several other bloggers received in their email inbox:

"LET THE SOCIAL MEDIA MEMORIES BEGIN!

We look forward to seeing you in March 2011 for a weekend of fun and professional development at the Walt Disney World Resort. We hope the conference will provide you a unique opportunity to grow in social media, hear from some of the key influencers in the online world and network with some of your respected peers."

WooHoo - I'm going to Disney World!! Which when you think of me, may not seem like a big deal because I live right here and I go there all the time and you KNOW how much I LOVE DISNEY WORLD..... However, THIS is a magnificent trip! This is an experience filled with special events, conference sessions and private parties taking place throughout Disney and includes 3 nights at the gorgeous Grand Floridian Hotel - where I have ALWAYS wanted to stay and it includes 7 day park hopper theme park tickets for the blogger and up to 3 family members!!

Here is the agenda as it stands (which I will update you as soon as I know more):

How exciting does this all sound???  I have been bouncing off the walls since I got the notice.  Now you know that I will be tweeting and emailing during the event and I will take tons of photographs (like when do I NOT?) and I'll blog all about it when I'm done.

I want to give a special shout out to my friend Kathleen from Life with 4 Boys (Twitter @KBunn) because if it weren't for her help on Thursday, I would never have gotten registered.... Kathleen, YOU ROCK!!  




{Disclosure: This trip is being provided by Disney at a very discounted cost with NO commitments being asked of bloggers. The opinions expressed within the post are those of mine alone, but you all know already that I LOVE Disney!}

Happy Hanukkah (Chanukah)

.



Tonight at sundown begins the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah, which means "dedication" in Hebrew, correlating to the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar . Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts. There are many traditions and celebrations linked to the history of this beautiful eight-day holiday commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

So to all of you celebrating this wonderful holiday:

"Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe,

Who has kept us alive, and has preserved us,
and enabled us to reach this season."



{Please forgive me if I have gotten anything wrong... Happy Holidays.}

Wordless Wednesday: Silliness and S'mores at Brandcation

.


WEDNESDAY

On the last night of Brandcation, we sat around talking and eating microwaved s'mores made from HUGE marshmallow.  Again, as I have said about the entire trip, we had SO MUCH FUN!


Don't they looks SO good????








For more Wordless Wednesday, link up to 5 Minutes for Mom or lots of other wonderful bloggers throughout the blogosphere and don't forget to comment on their posts - comments are like chocolate, only without the extra fat and calories... and we don't need any extra of those this time of year!

Have a great week, my friends!  HUGS.....
