A broken washing machine.

On the second day of Christmas

And a broken washing machine.

A sprained ankle on the right foot
A broken toe on the left foot

Ho, ho, freaking ho. Thank goodness for the fifth day of Christmas.

Here's to time with whatever part of your family you get to be with, whatever food you get to eat, and however full your stockings are. Christmas is coming tomorrow whether I like it or not. Might as well enjoy it as it is.

Merry Christmas, everybody.
