Odd Christmas Joy

This has been a strange Holiday Season so far. Three days ago we came home and turned on our Christmas Lights and one of our wreaths would not come on. It worked the night before when we unplugged it. Now, nuthin!

The next night, we could not get the lights to a garland across an arch to light. They worked the night before when we unplugged it. Now, nuthin!!

Last night, half the lights to Susan's little village would not come on. They worked the night before when...oh...one other thing. Someone broke into the house.

Susan and I pulled into the driveway at almost the same time, something that never happens. I walked up to the back door and noticed it was slightly ajar. We walked into the house cautiously and began to survey the damage.

Most of our Christmas Gifts under the tree had been opened and some were missing. As we went into every room, we discovered ransacked drawers, cupboards, and closets. They took mostly small stuff. A nice Boze Clock Radio, some jars of change (probably about $60 -$80), a crappy old laptop computer, and they drank some Southern Comfort. They got some nice old jewelry that belonged to my Grandmother and a very nice old pocket watch that my Dad got from his dad. Also, all my heart medication. Have fun getting high on that.

After the shock and anger of the violation, we came to realize we were pretty lucky. Nobody got hurt and while they got some good stuff, it could have been much worse. The damage to the back door was minimal, a testament to how easy it was for the Low Life Parasitic Bastards to get in. I'll be working on that this weekend.

One thing that made us laugh was one of the missing Christmas presents. Susan called her sister to describe what was missing and was told that there was a very large box for some kind of computer. Her sister had used the box to send Susan a skillet. Have fun with your new computer, you tweaking little Assholes.

I'll probably still be discovering missing stuff for some time to come. For example, I got in the shower this morning and discovered my razor was missing. They took my Mach3 razor handle. Add another $5.00 to the damage total.

Fortunately, I believe in Karma. This will come back to haunt the perpetrators and even though I'll never know it when it happens, I still get satisfaction from that.

And so to all the Low Life, Parasitic, Blood Sucking, Freeloading, Sponge Lizard out there...have a nice Christmas. Santa has his eye on you and you will get what you deserve in the long run. To everyone else, may the blessings of God's great gift be fully realized in your life.
