Dear So and So...Right Down Santa Claus Lane

Dear So and So...

Happy Monday!

I will be bending the rules a bit and post my Friday's "Dear So and So" post today!  "Dear So and So" is brought to you by the lovely Kat over at 3 Bedroom Bungalow!

Let us begin...

Dear Zombie Who Showed Up at Cat's Gingerbread Cottage Last Night....






I can appreciate that you are "undead" and may still enjoy some holiday cheer. However, you may find that a six year old girl, who's gingerbread cottage has been defiled by the likes of you, can be a very dangerous enemy. It's probably best to drag your half eaten limbs and exposed brain off to the mall or some other favorite zombie haunt.  Seriously, you don't want to mess with Irish Dancer Girl.  She has moves that can put even the most fearsome zombie to shame. Last year, we had a monster with weird shoes show up and this is what happened....




That's right...a monster homicide…Irish Dancer Girl was busted in the back yard with a shovel and a fresh pile of dirt…you better watch out, Zombie….


Wishing You "Season's Eatings",



p.s. Zombie, don't think I don't know who you are working for...this has Teen Caveboy's prints all over it...Your hint for L4D2 is noted, Teen Caveboy.

Dear Cheeseballs, Chex Party Mix and Other Assorted Christmas Yummies,





I will miss you terribly this year since my mom will be in Ohio for the holidays and will not be slaving away in the kitchen to make you for my eating pleasure. Oh, I know...she gave me that fantastic binder with all of your delectable recipes in it so that I can make them myself....but it just isn't the same without my Mommy's love.


Hoping that Mom Reads This and Feels Horribly Guilty,



Dear Friends and Family in Blogland...



Your loving support, emails and awesome comments have really kept my family's spirits up.  I am so blessed to have you all in my life (cyber or otherwise!)  I promise to be visiting you all more often now that things are slowing down. You have truly changed my world, and I am forever grateful! 


With Much Love and Gratitude,

Haha... that zombie has some guts, appearing there at a freshly created Christmas house. Either that or he's really got his holidays confused! ;)

I feel the same way about krumkake - even though I make it myself each year now, it's just not the same as when my mom would spend that 'very rare' time in the kitchen, preparing it for all of us!

Irish Dancer Girl kicking a Zombie butt and the chalk outline, that is TOO dang funny. I can picture it too.
That's the way you guilt mom ;)
I'd guilt my mom to spend the holidays with us but she doesn't cook and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to be with us either, but that's a different story ; P
I keep hearing that "Love Actually" is a great holiday movie even though technically it's not meant to be one. Think i will rent it this weekend now.

I love love love this post!!

I'd like it if a zombie paid our gingerbread house a visit.

Uh, because that would mean that we actually DID HAVE one.

We don't
So no zombie will ever visit.

Bad mommma....

Oh Dawn you are so witty and funny, you always put a smile on my face. I think you are one of the most fascinating people!! I hope you can get that cheeseball and chex mix , I always crave those items on Christmas. They just remind me so much of my Grandma's homes when I was growing up and I still need them today in my mid 40's or it just doesn't seem like Christmas.
Take Care

Dear Dawn, I just read this sweet lady's post. And came over to wish you well. You sound like a very strong lady. But it must become tiring, to remain so strong.

Wishing I could surround you with gentle hugs......

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
