Tis this season to be Jolly…
And to haul out all the Holly!
Christmas is the gayest season…
Cause Christmas Queens have lost all reason!
There are so many Christmas Videos that are just gay, Gay, GAY!
I want to celebrate a few here- and probably a few more as I find them throughout the holidays.
Maybe we’ll vote on “who’s the Gayest of the All” around Christmas Eve!

Another new post is up on my other blog. I’m rather prolific this week…
All the Christmas Drama and mayhem at our house was off set by the simplicity of Christmas at Granny’s.
By this I mean, my Mother’s Mother, not my Father’s Mother, who was safely packed away to the State Hospital for the Insane in Staunton and, later, Petersburg.
But we did have to go visit my Father’s Mother, Granny Susie, AKA Susan Catherine Rush Michaels, sometime around Christmas. This was always an ordeal.
This was before there was an Interstate Highway to Staunton, so we had to travel along winding mountain roads to get there. With not many restaurants or gas stations to stop.
A few times, my Great Aunts wanted to go along. Aunt Lily and Little Mary were her sisters and her brother Joe’s wife, Big Mary, usually went along, too. The one trip I remember was when we still had the station wagon- before Daddy flipped it coming home in an ice storm from Earl’s Bar and Grill. They were all lined up in the back seat in their black wool coats, hats and white gloves. Aunt Lily would always pack her lunch and refuse to share it. When I was about 5 or 6, I asked once and she told me I should have planned better.

Lost in the 21st Century 
“The Eight Reindeer Monologues”
If you are looking for some great, irreverent Holiday fun, I strongly suggest “The Eight Reindeer Monologues”, a play by Jeff Goode, at The Broach Theatre here in Greensboro, NC.
I don’t want to give away too much information, but let’s just say Santa may be guilty of sex crimes, Mrs Claus has a bit of a drinking problem and the reindeer have much more distinctive personalities than you may have suspected.
Excellent performances from all four actors-Jordan Hayes, Camilla Millican and especially stellar work from Lee Strickland and Tal Fish.
Go see it…It runs through December 18th. More information at www.broachtheatre.org.
You’ll never think of Santa and Rudolph the same way again..
