Quotation Saturday: Christmas Day

Mamacita says:  Christmas is almost over, except that for people like me, Christmas is never really gone. Today has been lovely, truly lovely.  My family, all together again, with food and conversation and games and candles and trees bedecked with twinkling stars . . . . People laugh and say that Christmas is a magical [...]

The Twelve Rules of Christmas

Mamacita says: There are, of course Twelve Actual Rules of Christmas, according to the law, and in case you don’t know what they are and have intentions of storming the school or business that’s maliciously ignoring your rights as a Christian/Jew/Catholic/Protestant/Wiccan/Pagan/Atheist/Order of Elfland/Kisser of Mother Earth’s Backside, etc, perhaps y’all should take a glance at [...]

It’s Christmas Eve, Dick. Christmas, Ebenezer!

Mamacita says:  I really don’t know how anyone could ever say it better than this. Ma Ingalls assured Laura and Mary that if everyone wanted everyone else to be happy all the time, then every day would be Christmas.  I believe this to be absolutely true. Haven’t you noticed by now that almost every time [...]

Lighten Up, Oh Ye Of Little, No, or Different Faiths

Oh jeepers gee WHILIKERS, one of my posts has been syndicated on my wondrous BlogHer! ======== Mamacita says:  Okay, so, today’s what, the 15th?  It’s time for another politically incorrect rant!  Be warned, oh overly-sensitive types born without the ability to discern. . . . I am a Christmas fanatic. I live for this season. [...]

Science Fiction and Christmas and Stars, Oh My

Mamacita says:  I love a good short story, but exactly what is a short story?  Is it a short story because it’s always short? Surprisingly, no. It’s a short story because it has only one main plotline and set of characters. However, most short stories are pretty short.  One of my college professors told us [...]

Be Nice Anyway. You’re Not The Center of the Universe

Mamacita says: Let’s talk about simple, basic, seasonal etiquette.  Where is it? I will never understand why some people feel they have to be so defensive and hostile all the time. These people whine “insensitivity” but the truth is, THEY are the ones who are insensitive. This time of year, in particular, one reads article [...]

Blue Balls

I’m running this again because that house down the road has put up those depressing blue lights again. Mamacita says:  A house down the road from us has deep blue lights festooning its shrubberies, hanging from the eaves, and framing the windows. Their tree is white and covered with blue lights. It’s a beautiful blue [...]

The Discovery Channel is responsible for many of my nightmares and disillusionments

Mamacita says: I used to be a hippie, you know. Now, I’m just hippy. I’m almost out of detergent, but if I tear open the two little sample packages of Tide that came in the washer when we bought it seven years ago, I think I can finish out the night. It doesn’t do to [...]

Let’s Make Magic For Our Children

Mamacita says:  Don’t tell anybody, but I’m only pretending to be upset that all the stores are getting ready for Christmas.  Yes, it’s too early.  Yes, Thanksgiving really does deserve some undivided attention.  Etc. The fact is, I love Christmas, and even more than Christmas, I love preparing for Christmas.  This entails far more than [...]

Only the Stupid Fear Questions

Mamacita says: Warning: I’m in a bad mood. I’m sick and tired of a handful of people taking all the joy out of the majority of our children’s school experience. I maintain that if a family is that insecure and unable to defend their own beliefs against a good honest question, or withstand any questions [...]
