Christmas
Christmas [Dec 25]
Christmas is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be a time when you get together with your buddies and have a blast. But for Mrs. Radcliffe that wasn't the case.
Last year, I dropped by to wish her a "Merry Christmas". Kids were running around like mad. They were probably high on candy canes! They looked like it was the first time they saw candy or sugar. "Hi, Mrs. Radcliffe! How are you?" I asked as she opened the door with the kids swirling past around us. "Oh, Bob how nice of you to come." She was beaming with joy because her grand kids were there. Her son, Nick flew in with his family from Cali. He doesn't do that every year so it was a great time for Mrs. Radcliffe to have them.
Just as I entered the house we heard a yell. It was Nick's wife, Elaine, "NICK! Come fast! NOW" I smelled smoke and we went into the living room. It was total chaos. The Christmas tree, heavy with decorations was engulfed in flames. The scene was something out of a movie! The kids were screaming and the noise was really deafening and getting on my nerves. I just picked them up, one on my left and one on my right and ran out of the house away from the smoke.
Nick grabbed some blankets and put it on the fire and it went out eventually. There was smoke everywhere. Elaine started sobbing, "I don't know what to do with these kids!" I could tell she was high on something else too. Someone probably put a little too much rum in the egg nog!
"Well, why don't you guys come on over to my place. I'm having some people over. We can have some fun." I said, more out of courtesy than the "holiday spirit". Elaine stopped crying. SIGH!!! It worked! They got their coats and walked to my place.
It was a great scene because we had an older lady, middle aged couple and preppy Talbot's kids running around with my hipster and goth friends. Now, THAT's surreal! They all loved it of course and we had a grand time. They loved it so much that we're going to have a party at my place this Christmas too! And yes, NO SUGAR for the kids! I hope they tire themselves out and go to sleep early.
