This season I may known as the tackalicious tailor–creator of up beat Christmas sweaters. As most of you know, my son did wear the tacky sweater I made him. The Twisted Princess’ Prince Handsome issued a challenge to me, although I’m sure he didn’t realize it. I found that I needn’t search much farther than my own sweater box. And now that Don will be retired, there is NO telling what the two of us will come up with.
As I was reading Parade Magazine, I ran across Marilyn vos Savant words we need to know
Tinselitis (noun) a condition of excess holiday decor.
Nevergreen (noun) a faux Christmas tree.
So, I thought I would some of my own.
Commercialbliztenism — too many tacky TV commercials that make me want to mute them.
BlahBlahBlah–state of unholiday feelings that no amount of spirits can cure.


I’m down to maybe only one “blah” today — not bad since it a week ago it was blah blah blah humbug. One more day, and I can see about working up some Christmas spirit for next year.
Marilyn–
I’ve got better plans for us next year. We missed our beach vacation in Oct/Nov!
I know, and I feel it in my bones and my psyche!!!
Marilyn–
Never again. I’ll work at the pancake house to ensure we get our beach time!
