Seasons Greetings, Friend and/or Family Member!

Well, this year Mommy has made lots of new friends dancing at the Kit-Kat Lounge, which gives Daddy more time to study the Torah with his New Age group. Brenda (left) has survived her little “accident” and discovered the music of Marilyn Manson, and Debby (center) is in total denial.

Merry Whatever!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:  
(For daddy)  
One velvet lounging suit.  
One Havana cigar.  
One snowflake pendant.  
One pair of sunglasses.  
(For one daughter)  
Multiple facial piercings (five gold rings!).  
One black goth suit.  
(For Mommy)  
One leopard top.  
One poinsettia pin.  
One “pumpkin” stretch pants.  
Two hoop earrings.  
(For everyone.)  
A star named after the family (see the star chart upper left?)  
…  
And - a - dolly - for - Lil’ Debbie.
