Default Christmas and the wife

Well all I guess I have been accepted , here I am planning my time to get all the things I need to get done and my wife looks at me last night and says ... how busy are you.....

Well of course me and my big mouth .....

I have a few small things I want you do do for Christmas this year ...

*bells Warning Signs .. Screems !* but of course the answer is .. Sure hun want do you want ...

Her eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store , or like she just won the lottery ...

I need a Santa , a walking staff , an angel ... you can do an angel right ... and if you have time I would like a portrait of mon and dad .....

well the good news , I can carve all I want the bad news the santa and staff are to be done before thanksgiving ... but I did get out of the portrait .

Christmas spirt... I think it should come with a fifth of Crown .

Hmmm - I thought a fifth (or rather a 750 mL) of Crown WAS Christmas spirit! Thumbs Up Cheers

Looks like you will be a little busy. The portrait could be carved between the hours of Midnight and say 4 am,eh? the sooner you get it done, the quicker you can sleep. BWahahahahahahahahaha!
What, no portrait of Mom And Dad? How could you?Talking

I will call her tomorrow to tell her I have 20 spare Santa roughouts. Can get them to you quick. If she needs you to carve any more A freind of mine is still layed off and would be glad to run you 30 or 40 more. Oh- Anna is backed up in our orders so you have to paint them yourself.
If you need anything else just hollar.
Goody and Anna
