Christmas Countdown 2013 - 9 December



My favourite Christmas Music - 7th of 10

Coming in at number 7 is East 17 softening their bad by image with a strong and white-coat-wearing Stay Another Day. The bad boys of pop certainly did good with this song and I much prefer it to Babe by Take That!

Today's featured Anthology Author is

Christopher John with his story Two For Hooking

There's a rule for high-profile clients, for the hookers working the Shipyards - don't let them know you recognize them. So when Benson Dawes, the captain and star center forward of the Newport News, Seafarers pulls up, Jake feigns ignorance.

Christopher's Special Christmas Memory

Christmas was waking up before the rest of the house, bounding into one of my older brother's room, and waking him up.

Then we'd sit there for a few hours waiting for our parents to wake talking about anything and everything - presents, food, even sometimes planning sand castles for our beach trip that's still 7 months away.

Mr RJ's Crap Joke Section

Well I'll start off with a Thank you to Ann Marie and Nancy for including some of their own Christmas Cracker Jokes in the comments.  I'll stick a couple into this post in case all you other readers missed them :).

In other news, Mrs RJ & I have spent some of today wrapping presents for friends in foreign countries. She continued these Christmas Festivities by continuing her work on the Christmas Crackers she is hand making for us. Lo and behold, I found her chuckling away to herself over a Christmas Cracker Joke that was in the kit.  It's the first one in todays collection.  She finds anything to do with hair very funny because at the tender age of 45 I am  losing mine :( and she will take any opportunity to rub this in with her favorite being "what hair are you having cut today" when the hairdresser visits) *Shakes head at wife who was going gray at the age of 18* :).

Tv News Item: Earlier today a truck carrying a load of men's hair grooming products was stolen from a local cafe.  The Police are combing the area.
