This ‘n That

* If you are Christmas shopping for me, I am a size seven day Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas and Cocoa Cay.

* The Olde Tyme Christmas Parade was absolutely fantastic! Kuddos to the committee members who worked so hard getting the community to come together for this special occasion. Now that we know it can be done, I can’t wait to see what is in store for next year’s parade!

* I am behind this 100%. There should be a calorie refund for food that didn’t taste as good as you thought it was going to taste.

* The Instagram picture of football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi playing a chess match to a draw as a promo for the Fifi World Cup is genius and has over 40,000,000 “Likes” at this time.

* If you ever find yourself hanging by a thread, don’t worry— because that thread is attached to the hem of His robe.

* Just read where actor Clarence Gilyard Jr. passed away. I enjoyed watching him on TV as Jimmy Trevette in “Walker: Texas Ranger” and Conrad Masters in the TV series “Matlock.” Some of his movie roles included his first appearance as Sundown in the original “Top Gun” and he also starred in the movie “Die Hard.”

* Make this make sense if you can….Teens cannot watch the R-rated film “Unplanned” about abortion without an adult present, but can often GET an abortion without parental consent.

* Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” song earns her about $2.5 million every holiday season.

* This is too cute not to pass on….If you are ever attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler!

* I don’t always have time to fold the laundry, but when I do, I don’t.

* Not going to brag or anything, but I have all of my Christmas shopping done and the presents are wrapped!

* My grandkiddos helped me decorate my Christmas tree this past weekend. And it should be noted that every year they find an ornament or two that they like and take it home to their house. It’s become a Christmas tradition.
