Merry Christmas!

Tuesday December 25, 2007

Categories: Christmas

OK, so now I'm going back to bed. The presents are opened, the children are fighting over batteries, Julie and the baby are asleep again, and overnight, Uncle Crunchy's Good Tyme Snot-n-Sneeze Emporium opened up a superstore in my sinuses. Achoo-moo-moo. Wake me at Epiphany.

I use Nasalcrom, myself. But to each nose a different cure.

Even baby Jesus slept. See you at Three Kings Day (though I'm sure before!).

When I was a kid (19) in Germany, now these many years ago (to wit, 1965) the rural Germans I lived with hawked the "two hat cure" for conditions of this sort.

For this to work you need a bed with a bedpost. If you can locate that, you're on. So, then you hang your hat on the bedpost, crawl into bed so that you're nice and snug and warm, and then you drink schnapps until you see two hats (hence the name). Then you lie down and sleep it off. When you wake you will feel much better. (They didn't say, better than what!)

Get well! Merry Christmas!
