Boy to dad: “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’d hate to replace you.”
I’ve been recovering from a nice, holiday cold. My kids have been nice, and sincere about my welfare. I imagined this morning what would happen if they were younger and had a more selfish motive. Good thing you can’t just pick up a new dad from the Home Depot.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peace
Reverend Joseph Mohr
Sleep in heavenly peace
Anybody who thought it was a silent night has never been in a barn. We tend to think of the peaceful, quiet nativity scenes like this coloring page I drew.
We gloss over the nativity story so many times and have romantic notions of what it may have been like. But if it was like any of the barns I’ve been in, there was nothing romantic about it.
What a way to enter the world. What a sacrifice to make!
Merry Christmas!
I was at a work luncheon and Santa Claus showed up. He was roasting some key employees because they’ve been naughty this year.
I started thinking, “Wow! nobody has been nice this year.” So Santa gave me gift in the form of this cartoon. Thanks, Santa!
Cartoon of boy hanging by gutter. He says, “Get Dad! Tell him I’m sorry I started putting up Christmas lights without him and I could really use his help!”
It has been warm for an Indiana Christmas. I was able to put the Christmas lights on the house and wear a short-sleeve shirt. This time, my kids didn’t have to wait for me. You know how impatient they get!
Caption reads: “Get Dad! Tell him I’m sorry I started putting up Christmas lights without him and I could really use his help!”
Monsters says, “The great thing about being a monster around Christmas is it’s the one day I can wear a red outfit with my green skin.”
I did this cartoon a few years ago. I’m pretty sure “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” had something to do with this cartoon. It’s either that or one particularly moving episode of “Sesame Street.”
