Christmas 2011 - New Years 2012

Around this time of year I like to include as many buzzwords as possible to increase our readership....to entice people to read the blog under false pretences......for example somebody googles Christmas (buzzword number 1) and lo and behold our blog might turn up on the 16th page of the google search.

This person thinking that they are going to read about Christmas gets drawn in and instead gets to read about Daly (and indeed her own blog about Christmas and the cruel disregard of the Christmas one-eyed angel....I mean have parents not seen Toy Story?!THEY COME TO LIFE PEOPLE!)

Once folks have been enraptured by tales of Daly they are further thrown into a bottomless pit of literary genius as composed by myself and my compadre reflections. (Watch the bookshelves in 2012 for our long awaited erotic novella).

Christmas this year in the musings household was relatively peaceful. There was the obligatory show down with the mother three days before Christmas but the day itself was filled with a beautiful alcohol induced sense of well being. Also things were made easier this year by not being housebound by snow and escaping at every available opportunity.

What I was most thankful for was the fact that I have a tv in my room at the homestead. I'm all about the family time but I draw the line at having to watch fair city or another episode of only fools and horses that we have ALREADY WATCHED 20 TIMES.........!I managed to get in my quota of Christmas films like all four Indiana Jones, all three Back to the Futures, about four Harry Potters, two Bourne films and the same scene in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe three times (the one where they meet Liam Neeson).

New years eve (buzzword number 2) was uneventful. Unlike last years with the whole almost dying in a house fire. Not sure which was worst, the almost dying of smoke inhalation(which in fairness I slept through) or almost dying of boredom at the yawnest party ever (which I actually had to endure).

And so that brings us to 2012 (buzzword 3). 2012.......wow. I figure there is no point in making resolutions (buzzword 4). Though I do want to get back on track with my five holidays a year plan. (Also am watching the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for the third time, Edward was like c'mon horsey and the horse was like my name is Philip.....love that part.oooooh, Liam Neeson is about to face off against the White Witch. OMG there should be a Face Off II where Liam Neeson and the White Witch swap faces.....that would be amazeballs.....going to turn over now though caus I don't like the bit where they kill the fake Liam Neeson).

So, the new year (buzzword 5). Have to say 2011 was pretty generous to me, cept for that time in August when I almost had a meltdown caus I hadn't taken a week off work in 9mths. This is why the five holidays a year programme needs to get back on track this year!

What will the year bring?hopefully lots of health, hope, love, happiness, wealth and five holidays a year. I don't think it's too much to ask 2012.

And one last buzzword for our favourite readers...... Vodka. Which I also hope 2012 is full of!
