Cookies and carolers, and it's only the 1st. . .

I had been cleaning years of accumulated stuff out of closets for a good part of the afternoon, and had a pretty sizable ache starting up in my back. I was very much looking forward to sitting down, putting my feet up, and enjoying yesterday's leftovers in front of the TV. And the doorbell rang.

A group of shiny-toothed Mormons were on our porch, complete with a plateful of home-made cookies. (We don't NEED them. DH is diabetic.) They graced us with a couple of carols. I was scraping my weary brain for the lyrics to the old English "Boar's Head" carol, which I think has at least a reference or two to mead in it, but I couldn't remember it.

DH was very sweet and gracious. I managed to show my teeth in what I hoped would pass for a smile, all the while thinking of washing down some Excedrin with a belt of Glenfidditch.

Nothing like Mormon carolers to really put a person in the holiday spirit. Hell's bells, we haven't even finished up the Thanksgiving turkey yet. Grrr. . .

A super soaker will get rid of those pesky nuisances.

Filled with some cheap whiskey of course.

Thankfully, mormons don't do cookies or caroling where I live.

Perhaps this is the only time this will happen for you this season.

I'd be tempted to say sorry I'm dead on my feet, please excuse me, then leave them outside.
