Not part of the story but Happy Holidays!

[brianakinney]

I have an alternative journal for posting off-story, but I can't find it! Bwahaaaaaa! Sorry! So this is a stand alone for the holiday and then back to our regularly scheduled program. Hope you get a smile from it, and that you all have a day to remember, in a positive life affirming way. And Merry Christmas to Gale, wherever he may be, and to Randy

I love The Christmas Story. My kids always wanted chinese food for Christmas dinner. We compromised and did it Christmas Eve.

Love this story. I'm still chuckling. So got the Darth Vader container? Thank you for the present sweet Randall.

Merry Christmas

Chinese Turkey. Bwahaaaaa! I never cared about Star Wars action figures, I wanted Barbies! I stole this event from Brian's life really. He was a Star Wars guy.

lol It's rand_alt. I noticed it last night when I was doing a little flist clean-up and wished you'd post something else in that fic verse.

I'm perfectly happy to visit an alternate season 5. Good story, Randall. Thanks!

Thanks, I am such a bad keeper of the details.

Just printed your story. Am saving it for later. Noticed the Darth Vader and wondered about it.

When I read the dedication, I knew.

It's snowing like crazy here, and the first Christmas since '65 and I've been in town, it's snowed on Christmas Day. It's a white Christmas for sure.

Be well and have a pleasant day.

I'll read later.

I love a white Christmas.

When I first saw your icon I couldn't figure it out. WTF - is it some wierd monkey? It wasn't until you mentioned SW that I got it. WOW, dense much. LOL

Love sick Brian. Men do tend to be 'dying' when they are sick. Hey, it's true. Brian was cute in his own 'the world revolves around me' way. Justin does a lot for him. In my heart, I know he's not taken advantage of. There is the LOVE.

Hot Santa is funny. Of course, Brian's Santa wouldn't be any other way. And, I still believe myself. Christmas miracles can happen. Thanks for this Christmas gift.

Merry Christmas, Randall
I hope you are surrounded by family, friends, and love.

NICE Santa, Sandi :) He could just sit under my tree, wouldn't need to bring a pressie at all :)
Hugs, Anita.

I think Jen found the Santa? Maybe it was H? They kindly tossed in our pool to work with.
They are great like that.

Thank you Sandi and thank you for the picture and I hope the same for you. Believe me it wasn't easy to find a photo of that damned thing.

What a wonderful Christmas story for me to read on Christmas Day. And yeah-that was truly a "sick" Brian. Men are such babies. Though you aren't like that, are you Randall?? Or did we hear from your other half that you are a bit of a princess when you are sick. My husband moans and groan the entire time he is sick. Cannot stand it. But I think it must be a "man" thing. "If I'm sick, everyone has to know it!!"
Thanks for taking the time out of your holiday to write us a story, I have so missed your writing. Blessed time for you and yours. Pass the hugs and kisses to your family from me. Stay safe, warm and healthy. (couldn't find oranges to send to Texas this year-what's with no one sending oranges to Texas????)

[brianakinney]

Thanks Lois, I don't know about oranges, the heat maybe? We grow a ton of them in the valley maybe its a protection thing. No idea. I am always a baby so who can tell if I'm sick?
