Twas the night before the night before the Vaca Christmas Cocktail party...(
I think that is the wrong story...but we're going to go with it)....and all the Young Dips down in tel aviv were preparing for the Christmas party of the year. "
Cocktail Attire, no children please." The cookies were made, decorations on the trees. The only thing missing for the Cocktail Party was alcohol purchased at duty free.
On Tuesday they called "
I'll send it tomorrow," replied the warehouse man who had to approve. "
You'll have it by Friday! Don't you worry, my friend." on Wednesday...and Thursday brought even worse news.

The Grinch in the customs dept. surely knew that this holiday request was for more than two. More than a request for alcohol and food, this order meant an evening of home, holiday and good moods. It wasn't just the event of the season, it was the event that created the season! Closer than ever to the true Christmas of ole, the kids in Tel Aviv didn't know that the countdown to Christmas was coming to a close! Though just a few miles away from Bethlehems manger, no lights and no carols - it couldn't have been stranger. Now the only event to mark the Christmas miracle, is a Christmas cocktail party - and
they aren't going to get us the "Cocktails" in time!!!
Now I watched the Grinch just a few days ago, and I know that Christmas isn't about the ribbons and bows. So surely it isn't about cocktail drinking, but is there a way to keep my party from sinking?!? I have to save Christmas, not just for me, but for all of my friends who are hoping to see - decorations and lights and holiday cheer, cookies and candies and hope for the new year..... (Check back on Sunday....)
