'Tis The Season....

This post found over at Sjoggie StAHMer is simply too good not to re-post here. (With Blogger Mamma's permission, of course). It's entitled "12 Days of Sjogren's".  *thunderous applause* Bravo! Bravo!!


I have been SO excited for Thanksgiving this year!!!  Not for the turkey, pies, or family time.  Though they were all fabulous!! I have been excited because I knew that as soon as Thanksgiving was over that I could reasonably start celebrating Christmas without seeming like a certifiable quack!

Guess what.....  I had a fantastic day with family and friends yesterday but Thanksgiving is OVER!

*Maniacal laughter ensues*

So in honor of my first day of celebrating Christmas I have written a song.  Most will be familiar with the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas.  Enjoy!

I'm laughing so hard, I'm wheezing, but at the same time, everything she's saying is so true. How pathetic is that?
