Now, for the blog hop!
Best Christmas memory?
See those ornaments on the tree? Those ones right there, behind my big head?
When my kids were born, I bought one ornament a year for them. Then, as soon as they could say, "mine", I let them pick their own. Now, some twenty years later, we have a strange assortment of memorable treasures- from the plate snow man to the golf ball on a string.
But, strange and un-theme-like as my tree is- each and every ornament is a reminder of something- like the oldest son's obsession with school trucks, hence the yellow bus decked out in holly...or the giant mirrored disco ball that was the tacky toddler high fashion of tree trim
Every single item hanging on the tree has a story. And really- aren't we all about the stories?
So, what's your best ornament memory?
I'm taking a bit of a blogging break until January's IWSG (first Wednesday of the month- you know that, right?)
But, I leave you in good hands. Another funny blogger- though this time, he's a dude- is here to share with us the many ways Dan Landis* keeps the magic in his relationship(s).
*Dan is a fictional character, or so says his "creator" Jay Mims.
Dear Liz,
I'm always of the opinion that third time is the charm! We've talked about cheating, places to go to cheat and now it's time to talk about...RELATIONSHIPS! Because if there's one thing a private investigator and God's gift to women knows something about, it's relationship.
And how good I look in them.
As you know, I'm a ruggedly handsome private investigator who specializes in cheating spouses. And that's just my dating life.So, let's talk about keeping your relationship healthy.

TOP FIVE TIPS FOR KEEPING THE
MAGIC IN A RELATIONSHIP
TOP FIVE TIPS FOR KEEPING THE
MAGIC IN A RELATIONSHIP
1) HOBBIES:
The couple that irons at 30,000 feet together, stays together
I have always argued hobbies are what keep life interesting. For instance, I collect crazy ex's. That's not a hobby I recommend. What I do recommend, is something you both can excel at. Team sports are great, and nothing's sexier then a little competition. Just remember, as with cinnamon, a little taste can go a long way.
And laser tag is AWESOME!
2) GO ON AN ADVENTURE
Costumes are optional.
3) EXERCISE
I am vengeance. I am the night. I AM DOING CARDIO!
Exercise is a great way to burn calories and improve yourself. And if you're going to be a couple, you might as well learn to improve yourselves together!
Ninjas have a surprisingly low divorce rate.
4) SET GOALS
This can't possibly end badly.
Everyone needs a goal to work toward, and if you want to keep the magic in your relationship, you need to do the same. It doesn't have to be big, maybe it's just saying one nice thing about the other person. Maybe it's running a marathon. Maybe it's actually keeping the bathroom clean for a week.
And the best way to keep the magic in your relationship?
5) LEARN MAGIC!
It's an ILLUSION!
Combining exercise, hobbies and goals, magic is a great way to keep a relationship spicy.
And nothing says "Trust" like sawing your partner in half.
And if that doesn't work, try wooing. Maybe try to understand what she's going through. Maybe try some self-improvement. Whatever works. And if the relationship doesn't work, you can always try cheating. I even know a few places.
A great place to get away from it all!
