Christmas "not" carols



Greetings from Marshall, Texas. We arrived pretty late because we took our time shopping and stopping all the way here. It was awesome fun! Dennis is busy having a midnight pajama party on Gran's and Pop's bed with his aircraft carrier. Pop is the alternate airport, and the jet and helicopter have been diverting to his nose occasionally when adverse weather conditions on the bed prohibit landing on the aircraft carrier. I'm watching safely from the other bed!

We were almost here when we started singing Christmas carols. Dennis made all the carols 'negative' by inserting "not" at various places. "We wish you a merry NOT Christmas" and "You better NOT watch out, you better pout, you better cry, I'm NOT telling you why, Santa Claus is NOT coming to NOT town" for example, but we did it with many songs. We had a good laugh over this!

He was really good all day in the car, thank goodness, and I hope the same holds true for tomorrow. But since we've been on the road all day and then had a brisk swim in an indoor "not" heated pool, I'm exhausted and will be happy to write more tomorrow. Pictures are from the national forest in Mississippi and the welcome center in Texas.
