All we really have in this life is our family. The DS is doing everything they can to split yours apart... and its working. But they can only succeed if you let them.
Call everyone whos coming to Christmas.
tell them you dont give two shits if they have a vax or a mask or a television provided opinion..... the requirement for entry into the house is as follows:
Each extended family unit (you sister, her husband, and their kids as one group for example) will be required as a group to perform this dance to this song in the driveway, precisely at ______ oclock while EVERY FAMILY GROUP takes their turn. (send them a link to this video... they;ll figure it out.) That gives them 10-14 days to practice depending on when you get together. I dont dance AT ALL, but with 14 days to learn like 3 or 4 of these moves I could fake it, and so can they.
YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RULES DAMMIT.
No cameras, no judging... just laughs, joy and family.
DO NOT let them pull us apart.
****I got great news, and I want as many of you as possible to taste what Im feeling. We may be awake, but we are fragile imperfect humans, so I am making an attempt to share some joy tonight. If you liked this attempt to spread a little joy, in this confusing and evil world we are trying to survive in right now, I have been dropping many like this tonight. I mean for these to be gifts, hugs, a round or beers, etc. Just click my name, then click posts, and youll find some hopefully uplifting music. Love you.
Yuppers. At Moms house, all phones go in the pic nick basket on top of the fridge, and she locks it up with a little padlock, and keeps the key on a string around her neck.
Ever hour on the :30 the egg timer goes off, mom opens the pic nick basket and everyone has EXACTLY 5 minutes to do their Deep State Duty. Then back in the basket they go.
ITS WONDERFUL, and by about the 5th or 6th hour... half of the addicts dont even show up for their 5 minute fix.
Regrettably, she doesn't put all the phones in the microwave and turns it on at 100% for 10 minutes......
LOL
That's awesome! This party is at your house, right?
My family is spread out this Christmas. this is the off year (odd years at other in-laws. been a tradition for 25+yrs.)
I'll be shooting to get Mom to do this for Easter.
Her house, her call... but she'll probably be game. Im the ONLY non-dancer in the fam.
I can't dance, though. Last time I tried, I proved my case beyond a reasonable doubt.
YOUR FAMILY KNOWS YOU CANT DANCE... THEY DONT CARE... these are actually easy moves. You can pull of 1 or 2 of them for the whole damn 60seconds... just do them over and over. You have 2 weeks to learn two moves yo, and there will be a good dancer in your group. let them carry the weight.
Fucking Cowboy Up
If you even do barely OK, you will get the biggest applause, because they know you are petrified, but you are showing them that NOTHING is more important than them.
Don't get me wrong. I love dancing and can't stop, won't stop. I'm just being real.
That deserves a stickie all by itself. Great post.
Wish I could claim it, but I stole it from somewhere. You're welcome to it.
Almost every short, pithy truth has been said or written by SOMEONE else before; you put it into circulation here and apparently in your life. Your post is a great Christmas gift to everyone on GA.
Thank you... and Bless you. Now... pass it on.
Freaky song from decades gone by...Rappers Delight...thanks for fun fren!
I love it. Great idea, great video
Love this idea. The beautiful exuberance of the human spirit. ✨
