human images 4 Posted December 22, 2015 Dropkick Murphys The season's upon us, it's that time of year Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer There's lights on the trees And there's wreaths to be hung There's mischief and mayhem And songs to be sung There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe Some families are messed up while others are fine If you think yours is crazy Well you should see mine My sisters are whack-jobs, I wish I had none Their husbands are losers and so are their sons My nephew's a horrible, wise little twit He once gave me a gift wrapped box full of shit He likes to pelt carolers with icy snow balls I'd like to take him out back And deck more than the halls With family like this, I would have to confess I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed The season's upon us, it's that time of year Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer There's lights on the trees And there's wreaths to be hung There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung They call this Christmas where I'm from My mom likes to cook, push our buttons and prod My brother just brought home another big broad The eyes roll and whispers come loud From the kitchen I'd come home more often If they'd only quit bitching Dad, on the other hand's a selfish old sod Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog Who won't run or fetch, yeah, he couldn't care less He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess The season's upon us, it's that time of year Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer There's lights on the trees And there's wreaths to be hung There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung They call this Christmas where I'm from The table's set, we raise a toast The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost I'm so glad this day only comes once a year You can keep your opinions, your presents, your “Happy New Year” They call this Christmas where I'm from They call this Christmas where I'm from Link to comment
donna pallotta 108 Posted December 22, 2015 the bombs are dropping, with "greed" with its sidekick "ruthlessness" ruling the day... the passion for peace and love and giving is all we have to sustain our humanity; that "little light", as it were... i wish you moments of genuine peace, my dear friend carlos...

Jack McRitchie 150 Posted December 23, 2015 Manna from heaven. A picture from you always feels like that. another year in the book, my friend. I'm so glad you're still posting your wonderful photos, though perhaps not quite as frequently as in the past. Have a Merry Christmas and see you again in the New Year. All the best, Jack Link to comment
MarieH 700 Posted December 23, 2015 Beautiful. A joyful season to you. This is like Christmases past for me. Church on Sunday, walking through the snow to school, the anticipation, memories of my parents, bringing in the tree full of snow, a time when all was right in the world. I shed a tear :) thanks Carlos. Link to comment

MarieH 700 Posted December 23, 2015 Bless the Dropkick Murphys but I'd rather have Gordon Lightfoot's Song for A Winters Night. Sorry I don't know how to add a link.. Link to comment
mark_q 0 Posted December 24, 2015 This is a good place to adress you my season wishes and all best for the new year 2016. Your comments have been welcome support, so thank you. Kind regards Markku. Link to comment
human images 4 Posted December 25, 2015 Contessa Pallotta, Jack, Marie, David, Markku... right back at you with all the love my friends! and Marie, you can always count on Gordon to sooth the heart --- a master balladeer. But cynical old men may best relate to Dropkick’ flip side of saccharine Christmas, the true edge of rage that resonates beneath, but i totally see how a sensitive soul buys into Gord's version of things. I buy into both versions actually, but who can resist…There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe Some families are messed up while others are fine If you think yours is crazy Well you should see mine My sisters are whack-jobs, I wish I had none Their husbands are losers and so are their sons My nephew's a horrible, wise little twit He once gave me a gift wrapped box full of shit He likes to pelt carolers with icy snow balls I'd like to take him out back And deck more than the halls With family like this, I would have to confess I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed Link to comment
celasun 0 Posted December 25, 2015 Dear Carlos,I may be late to the party but I must still tell you how I enjoy looking at your images. This one pulls a troubled chord that keeps me aware of a strange need for a strong belief... And I am not sure what I am after...I wish you a better year with your beautifully growing family!
