New Year’s Day Prayer for one and all
Dear Lord
So far this year I’ve done well.
I haven’t gossiped I haven’t lost my temper;
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty,
selfish, or overindulgent. I’m very thankful
for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I’m
going to get out of bed, and from then on
I’m probably going to need a lot more help.
Amen

A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. My new year’s resolution is to be more optimistic by keeping my cup half-full with
either rum, vodka, or whiskey. New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being
mistaken for a stripper. My New Year’s resolution is to stop hanging out with people who ask me about my
New Year’s resolutions. I have only one resolution. To rediscover the difference between wants and needs.
May I have all I need and want all I have. If 2014 was a person, I’d sue him for pain and suffering and lost wages.
This New Year’s I resolve to be less awesome since that is really the only thing I do in excess.
People treat New Year’s like some sort of life-changing event. If your life suckedlast year, it’s probably still going to suck tomorrow.
I’ll remember 2014 like it was yesterday Dear Luck, .....can we be friends in 2015 Please?
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year resolutions. Many things can be preserved in alcohol this New Years Eve. DIGNITY is
not one of them. I’m planning on finding new and interesting things to hate about my job in 2015.
Just heard that in 2015 there will be a new device that can turn thoughts into speech. I have had that for years, it’s called alcohol.

THE TWELVE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS.
The first day after Christmas my true love and I had a fight. And so I chopped the pear tree down and burnt it, just for spite. Then with a
single cartridge I shot that blasted partridge. My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The second day after Christmas I pulled on the old rubber gloves and very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. On the third day after Christmas my mother caught the croup. I had to use the
three French hens to make some chicken soup The four calling birds were a big mistake for their
language was obscene. The five golden rings were completely fake and they
turned my fingers green. The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn’t lay.
I sent the whole gaggle to the S.P.C.A. On the seventh day, what a mess I found. All seven of the swimming swans had
drowned. My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. The eighth day after Christmas before they could suspect.
I bundled up the eight maids-a-milking, nine ladies dancing, ten lords-a-leaping, eleven pipers piping, twelve drummers
drumming - well, actually I kept one of the drummers – and sent them back collect.
I wrote my true love “We are through, love!” And I said in so many words “Furthermore, your Christmas gifts are for the Birds!”
