God the sooner I get out of the office the better. I cannot stand one more email with cheesy,misspelled season greetings from BUDDHIST Khmer who think everyone is getting MARRYied and Christ is almighty. *vomit*. I have said it before and I will see it again ….Christmas is a) For CHRISTIANS or at the very least ….b) For BARANGS ! Getting all excited and celebrating Xmas with gusto as a Buddhist Khmer is like me celebrating Chinese New Year.
Our Christmas has already gone to hell. Paul’s son has chicken pox. This means it is safe for everyone who has had chicken pox before, little kids who can handle a dose at an early age BUT no good for pregnant women. That is….Leakhana. Apparently if a woman is exposed to chicken pox during pregnancy, there’s a small risk that her developing baby will end up with head that’s smaller than normal (called microcephaly) and limb deformities. Struth. Wouldn’t want that now would we ! Its a real bugger because it means that we have to break the tradition of spending it with Chris and Paul and families. What a crapper.
So on to plan B with the B crowd over at Shane and Tammie’s place. This should still be fun as the Thai mafia Oi and Ai,their husbands and all the little playgroup kiddies will be over there including most importantly, Grace’s best buddy and talcum mate, Alex. Dare say we might even have time a little later on for some poker. At any rate….I wish you all a Marry Marry Christmas and Happy Lordy Lordy Jesus filled New Year.

For awhile there was a Muslim guy at work who would ask me what I was getting him for Christmas! LOL
Did you tell him you were waiting on a pack of Bin Laden targets for the gun range ? ( or can’t I say that ???? )
