CHRISTMAS DON'T BE LATE

What's up sneeches? It is I N0days0ff. If you stay broke as my lil mama keeps me you know this is the time of year you start saving for christmas presents. This year there's only 1 thing that I really want, a 160 gig ipod.




I can't even imagine having every song in the world available at the tip of my fingers.one second I'll be listening to The Jets "crush on you" then Domino "ghetto jam". I can't even think about it now....it's just a lot to take in.

Anyway I figured I would kick off the season with a christmas edition of What you know about that? It's basically a list of christmas memories and traditions. There's so much I'll probably have to do 2 or 3 posts.Feel free to add on some of your christmas traditions and anecdotes. Feliz Navidad and stuff.

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT?

Egg Nog?




GOOD LAWD!!! my step father used to be gone off that egg nog mixed with his special juice he kept in a little flask in his boot. I can't even get started on that now, thats a whole other post

Nintendo?



after years and years of keith sweat-like begging ma dukes and her cheap ass finally got me a nintendo.Even though everyone had moved on to super nintendo and the like by then, I was still happy.Funny story is she was bringing it back from a plane trip she took. They ran the box through the x ray and saw the gun and damn near arrested my mama.She had to unpack the box and show them the gun was just a toy.Even then it still had to sit up there with the pilot until the plane landed.

Funny story 2.After all that begging, no one would let me plug the nintendo up to their tv so basically it was useless.There was like an urban legend going around that nintendos messed up tv's so my mama didn't wanna mess up our tv and the nintendo stayed in a box until I had my own tv....which by then I didnt want a wack ass nintendo no more

Mistletoe



I've never ever ever kissed anyone under a mistletoe so I don't know nothing about that. One time though we were having a christmas party at our house and this dude kept trying to catch my sister under the mistletoe,I cock blocked my ass off that night. Ain't no slobbin going on tonight my friend

Christmas albums



I love alll the christmas albums that come out.chestnuts roasting on an open fire and all that shit. A few favorites of mine include

*Christmas don't be late - Alvin the Chipmunks

me I want a huuuuuuuuullllllaaa hooooooppp. Lol gets me every time

*Santa baby - Eartha kitt

Santa cutie I need a duplex and checks....I love how she sounded ready to screw santa for some extra gifts under the tree. Nothing says I love baby jesus like that.

*The first noel- All 4 One

that last lick they hit always puts tears in my eyes.....or maybe its the egg nog,who knows?


Christmas Story



what would christmas be without watching Ralphie beg for that BB gun every year? YOU"LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT!!! FRA-GEE-LEE

The Christmas tree



Can I be real for a second? I almost got kinda misty eyed when I saw this pic. I just realized how hard it must have been for my mom to pay all the bills and still scrape up enough money to buy us a christmas tree and decorate it for us. When you a kid you just think about what you don't have and never grateful for what you DO have.I don't ever pretend she was an angel or nothing like that but Dukes had a hell of a job on her hands raising 4 kids. We always ate, not brand name good stuff but we ate. Never had the lights cut off,never no eviction notice on the door, none of that.She never made much money and now that I'm older I realize how crazy it is to bust your ass all the time just to make sure your kids ate. She never had no furs or nice jewelry or none of that. All she did was go to work everyday and bring us some food home.

I remember one time in high school Ma Dukes tried to walk me to school and I kept trying to get rid of her to the point she got mad and turned around and went home. I feel so bad about that sometimes. We were both wrong, her for not doing stuff like that when I was young enough to welcome it, and me for not being happy that I had a damn mama who cared. All I could think about was how no girls would talk to me if they saw my mommy walking me to school.All I cared about was being mr cool and I ended up hurting her feelings. I'm a piece of shit for that.She got out of her bed and got dressed so she could spend a little extra time with me and my stupid ass couldn't even appreciate that.Now Dukes is in a better place.....she lives in Connecticut.

Yeah, I remember I would go to bed just barely after the sun went down. Tryin` to make damn sure I was asleep waitin` for some fat ass, jolly, white man to come that night. You`re happy as hell and your parents are broke as hell.

It`s the time of the year that makes Georgia Power real jolly.

As far as my fav. Christmas songs I`ll list a couple.

"Santa Claus Is Comin` To Town" by The Jackson 5.

"Christmas Just Ain`t Christmas".

TERENCE said...

On a final note you really don`t appreciate the sacrifices your mama/parents made until you become an adult. This time of year brought you so much joy as a child. As I said previously, "You`re happy as hell, Georgia Power is happy as hell, the department stores are happy as hell, and your mama/parents are broke as hell.

You know what? Isn't it a little early for all this Xmas stuff?

Incidently...why Xmas for Christmas?

I love The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. Not to mention Have a Very Merry Xmas by TLC.

Like you, I know shish about mistletoe. Guess black folks couldn't afford it or they didn't know where to find it.

I love the Muppet Christmas Carol. Have to watch it every year.

The Xmas tree can be overrated sometimes. I get tired of having to decorate it and then take it down. I can spend that time watching football.

Thas all I got.

1. i am shocked that egg nog comes in a can

2. why my brother got his ass beat when momma was out the house and he plugged the nintendo up to he tv in the living room instead of on the lil black and white tv in momma room, she came home and was like nigga didn't i tell yo ass not to plug that shit up to my 27 inch messing my shit up with that game....

3. we used to put that garland on the tree, yall know them thangs that look like feather boas only for a tree, i HATED that shit i made a vow to myself that when i grew up and got to decorate my own tree, i was never gon put that tacky shit on it, and i never do, lol mess came in all kinda colors too and momma had to get the loudest most tackiest colors red, gold, blue???? ughhhh tree looked like a damn pimp

4.you are sooooooooooooo right, you never understand the scarifices ya parents made, the struggles they went throo to keep you fed and clothed till you have ya own kids, then when they come to you talking bout momma can i have, momma can you get, momma i need you, you think these lil asses don't 'preciate SHIT...and you pray that they will have kids that don't preciate shit either so they can learn the same lesson alllll kids turned parents learn, you bust ya ass to get it done, and wait till yo kids have grankids so you can sit back and be like ahhahhahh i told yo ass see what i had to go throo now what....

5. DA HELL YOU BEEN NODAYS, THE GAME AIN'T THE SAME W/O U HOMIE....lol

"I really can't stay. But Baby it's cold outside."

That's my cut! I can't wait to put that song on.

That tree is gorgeous. I need to do better with being jolly this year. Last year was stressful, and not just cause of gift giving.

We had an Atari 5200. Whattt! wasn't that the first video game? After the Nintendo and Mario Bros, I wasn't that interested in video games any more.

I want that 8 gig Ipod too.

lmao @ you getting a nintendo and no one letting you plug it up to their TV...lol

it took my mom forever to get us a nintendo too... so I feel your pain... but she was into track so when we got the powerpad she ended up playing more than us... we used to sit on the couch arms crossed mad as hell because she wouldn't let us get a turn

Raider_wifee said...
