Merry Christmas from Kuwait's infamous Camp Arifjan!
It is Now 06:00 and I clearly Hear Revelrey blasting while listening to a Bing Crosby CD and The Little Drummer Boy playing.. as I type.. I have been at work since 03:00 hours. The temperature is Chilly at 36 degrees in the Arabian desert.A major deviation from the 155 Farenheit in August..
Went to Mass last night off post at 19:00 and had a Birthday Christmas Dinner with a Group a Mixture of Kuwaiti's Germans and Americans.plus a GROUP OF FILIPINO CAROLERS came and sang 10 beautiful Christmas songs for our little get together..We then Had Chardonnay and Merlot but all of the Non Alcholic Variety.
Toughest thing was sitting between two beautiful ladies who Cooked seperate deserts and having to declare the winner obviously I picked the Key Lime Cheesecake a third option baked by the Host and Birthday Girl!!.
I did unfortunately sit accross from a democratic operative who told me multiple stories how great Ted Kennedy was , my only comment was "it must have been before he had swimming lessons" I couldn't believe later during dessert she started to tell me how much she adored Jimmy Carter... I gagged and politely reminded her of my travails Pushing My Car on the Florida Turnpike one mile while in Line to get fuel during his presidency and a Little annoyance Called Iran.I was ready to unload if she brought up Abortion being Christmas I held Fire..
Luckily no hangover today but with only 2 hours sleep it's gonna be a long day! We have a Lunch scheduled with our Indian staff at the DFAC the two days a Year they eat at our DFAC.... Somehow this year doesn't feel like Christmas.. unfortunately everybody seems to lack the Christmas spirit... I hope to Change that By Handing out 300 letters and cards to the troops from junior High kids from my community back home.Then Going to the Noon Mass on post and Celebrating what Christmas really Means to Me.. the Birth of Emmanuel!
Bing is NOW Singing... 'Do You Hear what I hear"!!!Merry Christmas everyone...God Bless!
Merry Christmas!
36 in Kuwait? Wow! I saw it was 43 in Tehran the other day...it can really get cool over in the Middle East. So much for global warming, eh? ;)
Is Huck the man, or just a scam
I’ll leave that in the Lord’s hands
Is Mitt the real deal
Or just a Mormon shill
I’ll leave that to His will
Is John a war hero, or a bank fraud nero
I’ll leave that to Him when the clock ticks zero
Is Rudy the Mayor who sees, or just Mayor McCheese
I’ll leave it to Him who has all the keys
Is Fred a good candidate, or just playing one his fate
I’ll leave it to Him to set the record straight
Merry Christmas to all
we will laugh at all this vanity
when we are redeemed from the fall.
