For Crying Out Loud... it's CHRISTMAS!

By
Industry Observer

 

 

Well I thought this picture really captured the essence of the last few post I created. 

In light of my recent post on Tears, and then all the boo-hooing and belly aching I was doing this past week... this seemed the perfect transition into Christmas.

Oh and NO... they are NOT my children! In case you are wondering! (They actually are the children of one of my associate's friends here at Real Estaging.)

Happy Holidays to all!

Cry it forward...

Me

PS: Check out Santa's expression!

Santa looks like he's thinking he they didn't tell him about this part and he doesn't get paid enough.

What do I do noW?   Happy Holidays Craig

I wish I could find the picture of my 4 year old punching Santa(me). Lets just say she got more than a lump of coal.

3C: Are you saying crying children make you laugh? Cold... how cold.

Curious George: Now that is a curious thought!

Eli: I think in this case Santa's "skill" is jussssst about at the end of it's rope.

Jay/Med: OH MY GOD.... I could have used this guys face as a substitute for yours in my WREATH!  DAMN!

Val: Where is the Rain Patrol when you need them?

Karen: Oh no... I am sure he does it for the same reason we have our Lottery.... he does it for the "sake of the children!"

Monika: I happen to know he gets a nice big bottle of RimpleMint wrapped in a brand new brown paper bag.  I think he is ready for his "compensation".

Fran: To me it looks like he is just starting to say a word that beging with the letter "F"................................................"Fruitcake!' Ya that's the word!

Jeff: I have a feeling the parents will be reading and enjoying all you are saying here.

Tina: First, I love Nova Scotia. Second, welcome to the Rain. Third, I think you need ONE more letter in that word...doesn't it end with a "G"?

John: When you REALLY think about it... Santa is kinda a scary dude. Remember what we teach our kids about strangers, then we go sit them on one's lap and tell them to smile!

 Yeah Santa looks like he could use a Valium. There's a job I wouldn't want. Craig, have a great holiday and I'll look forward to more of your off-beat humor in the new year.

Those are the pictures that this family will cherish one day, because the kids sitting on the lap acting happy let's face it, that's just not funny. The first year I took my grandson to see Santa, he screamed like that, we were laughing so hard (soory that sounds mean), the guy behind the booth said I guess you don't want that picture. I said, what are you kidding me, that's hysterical...Mean grammy. These kids are just toooo cute.

Merry Christmas

Hey Craig, I think I sat on that Santa guy's lap the day before I gave up alcohol. Does he have a tattoo of a pirate on his thigh?

My twins did the same thing when they were two-but what they did not know is..it was their Father's lap they were crying on! Volunteer Santa at the Daycare. They will laugh about it one day!
