Twas the Night Before Xmas 2018

Twas the night before x-mas
And we're in someone else's house
Watching a fat goat, a tiny pony,
And three dogs, but no mouse.

Our many "adopted" animals
Show us they care
With face licks and tail wags
And insure we're covered in their hair.

This house sits by a lake
So we paddled out the boat
The air is crisp and chilly
But I've got my muffies and coat.

The end of the year
Every time has me thinkin'
About how quickly time flies
While I'm just here blinkin'.

A year of such wonder
Full of great wins and great loss
Life shows it's spectrum
Like an almighty boss.

The good things around me
Are in numerous piles
Like my and Wren's family
And great friends who bring us smiles.

So much to be excited for
 In this 2019 year
Travel and adventure
Await us with good cheer.

It's time we settle down
for the evening together
Just me, Wren and the pooches
Like birds of an inter-species feather

Why sleep on the floor, they think
When they can join us in our bed
Surely there's room
For all these legs and heads?

Here's to a jolly good holiday
Full of love and light
May your days be warm and merry
And your future be sweet and bright.

The Naughty List

I was recently invited to perform with the Frisky Fandom Burlesque troupe for their 3-day holiday show called, The Naughty List. I adapted my chair dance to fit the holiday theme.
 One of the fun new things about being an angel was trying to maintain my proper modesty.
The theme of the show was we were all competing to be chosen by Miss Santa as the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
 My friend Deanna was also in the show as Jewey Idol, the famous Jewish superstar. She sang "Rock the Dreidel of Love", had verses telling a brief history of Hanukkah, and had spinning dreidel pasties. I was invited to be a Jewish girl, sad that I couldn't be part of the celebration because I don't celebrate Christmas, and she comes to save the day.
 The cast.
I don't do much "burlesque" anymore, but when I do, I suuuuuure enjoy it!
