20 days till Christmas!

[Magdalena]

Clean yer chimneys folks! 5 days till the man in red breaks into yer residence!

I don't have a chimney.
I live on the second floor.
I have two doors, one wood one metal, four locks.
I don't think he's breaking into my residence.

Yeah. Maybe he'll climb the stairs instead, look at your locked door, let out a long sigh, turn around and climb back down.

Does your 6 year old believe in Santa, if you don't mind my asking? My 8 year old niece still does, and even wrote a long letter to Santa which she placed under the Christmas tree. She doesn't have older siblings to ruin things for her and doesn't hang out with older kids so...

Just the other day she told a Santa at the mall everything she expects to receive this Christmas. I don't have the heart to insinuate that it's all just a story.

I asked him, "Do you believe Santa is real, that he actually goes around giving every single kid in the world a present, in one night?"
He said, "Yes."
I asked, "Do you believe this, or do you want to believe this is true?"
...He thought about it for a minute...
He said, "Well, actually, I want to believe this is true."


We'll leave it here for now.


Oh! This reminds me...
It's time!!!

No. It'll most probably be uploaded to Youtube sometime soon, though.

If Santa wants to get into my apt, he'll have to climb up the fire escape and then break down two doors.  Plenty of time to load up ol' Betsy.

You guys do not have Santa-friendly homes.



I have yet to see "Santa-friendly" or something akin to that in a real estate agent's description.

Kahlua is an interesting name, but did you name him after a coffee-flavoured liqueur?

(I googled it. )

One part vodka, one part Kahlua, add perhaps two parts milk, some crushed ice,  and you have a "Dark Russian" which is a dangerously delicious drink that can render you stoned in short order.  You can be seduced by such beverage delights because they taste so good.  You pay dearly the next morning somewhere between a class six to class ten hangover. Dark Russians, containing Kahlua, are instruments of the devil.....But tasty.  That's the way Mephistopheles works,

Kahlua like brew can be made at home if desired.  There are recipes on You Tube.  The critical ingredient is vanilla bean which can be expensive in some parts of the world. 

Kahlua is actually a brand name for a particular alcoholic compound.  The brand name product is of a high quality and consistency.  It is a pleasing added ingredient to a good cup of coffee. Brazillian coffee of course,Silver.

A "Dark Russian" can also be vodka, Tia Maria and Coke. Always amazes me how well coffee flavour and Coke go together.

There is a drink called a Brown Cow, which is a mixture of Kahlua and cold milk.

Thanks, Mags, that's the one. I also like the extreme opposite, which is Campari and soda, or, even more bitter, Campari and Indian tonic. The last one is great on a very hot, humid day.
