I am participating in the NaBloPoMo challenge for May. It should be a fun one. It is titled: Play.

Today’s topic is: What do you still make-believe?

While I don’t play make-believe I do believe that in this world of hard realties and second-hand gossip there just has to be something to believe in. I think that the spirit of Christmas allows us to believe in what is inside…

As a child you believe that the magic is in opening Santa’s presents. What you don’t learn till your a parent is that the magic starts long before Santa comes. It starts when your childrens eyes light up with whatever traditions your family follows. Mine is when my children used to help put out the cookies and carrots and a Coke for Santa, and when they help me make our special reindeer food and spread it out on the walk for the reindeer to eat when they stopped by. It’s also when you realize that you never stopped hearing the bells you just needed your children to remind you to listen.

NaBloPoMo: How do you play as an adult?

I am participating in the NaBloPoMo challenge for May. It should be a fun one. It is titled: Play.

Today’s topic is: What piece do you have to be in Monopoly and why?

You’re killing me smalls!

I just said yesterday that the game of Monopoly has got to be the worst game in the world to play and toady’s topic is what is the piece I just HAVE to be.

Are you kidding me?

If you are going to twist my arm, I would have to say the dog in the classic game. But this game just like just about everything else has sold out to “the man”.

There are more versions of Monopoly than there are flavors at Baskin Robbins.

Some of my favorites are:

Grateful Deadopoly

Klingon Monopoly

Cocktailopoly

And everybody’s favorites:

Strippopoly

XXXopoly

Then there’s:

Fishin-opoly

Foreclosure Opoly

White-tail-opoly

and then:

Fairy-opoly

DIY-opoly

Dance-opoly

But as in everything in life (well, mine anyway) can be attributed to the movie:

A Christmas Story, you have

A Christmas Story Monopoly game.
