Christmas grumblings with cocoa splashed in my face

[Ice_breaker]

  A Peaceful Merry Christmas to all 
The rain here is REALLY pathetic.....arrrrghhh h, but the chill zone is on a return trip. From what I've heard even Lake St. Clair canals are now bad ice. Any hoot, I know my Christmas can not being going that bad. Only a couple of days ago, did I see a Christmas tree (with stand still attached) on the curb for garbage pick-up. I might as well count what little blessings I do have (once again, and again if necessary).
