Saturday Horror Special – Scream for the Holidays
Scream for the Holidays
By Don Anelli
Joy to the World, the Lord is Here! Let Earth receive her King!
I can’t help it, I love this song! Singing along is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, and with something as joyous and uplifting as “Joy to the World” is, that becomes even better to start the Christmas season!
To be fair, Randy and I have an extra reason to be joyful this Christmas since it’s our first Christmas as homeowners. After being together for four years, this is the first time for the holidays that we can have a home for ourselves. Before, we had usually stayed with one of our parents, and as much as I love them having ten people crammed into a house designed for a smaller family of four to six people did mean we were often crammed with each other. We can invite Matthew, Christian, Marie, and Jean to our house for Christmas. I guess Larry and Bo are welcome as well, but most important are the grandparents.
“Hey, babe, where’s all the indoor wall stuff?” Randy calls out from the other room.
“Everything is there, sweetie, just look for them.”
“I’ve been looking through them for like, ten minutes now, and they’re not here.”
Damn, if ever there was something to kill my holiday buzz, my husband playing stupid is probably high on the list. He’s usually smarter than this, to play dumb and get out of having to help put up decorations, so if I find those decorations in those boxes he’s had it!
“All right, where did you look?”
