This is Kibbles & Bytes’ 600th issue, so it got me thinking about Kibbles past. I came across an article that Holly wrote back in ’05 about the silliness that goes on here during the holidays, and it struck me as amusing since much of it still rings true… an excerpt:
- “Don has a soft spot for the story of Frosty the Snowman. He cries every time he thinks of Frosty melting, and this is probably why he doesn’t like to hear Christmas songs playing in the office—it’s too upsetting!” Don’s a softie.
- “Rob has been walking around trying to see who has Christmas cookies.” So that’s who’s been leaving all those cookie crumbs everywhere…
- “We all know Hapy likes to wear his Scottish kilts, but who knew he enjoyed singing Christmas carols at the same time? We’ve found him several times in the Showroom belting out “Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas” with his kilt swaying to and fro!” He is quite the warbler. Now if only his cold will get better, it’d be a little less nasally—think Fran Drescher in a kilt. Just kidding, Hapy!
- “Tony has been trying to regift the same fruitcake for the past three years.” Word of warning, all you new Small Doggers…
- “It turns out that when Mark doesn’t like the piece of chocolate he gets, he’ll put the half-eaten piece back in the box!” Yep, this seems to still be true.
- “Artie got stuck in the chimney while playing Santa Claus for Dawn.” I think he may have learned from that one.
Well, we’ve been busy running around for the past several weeks and these last few days, especially, to make sure we have everything to you in time during this extremely busy time of year. It makes me smile to know that some things manage to stay the same, year after year!
Hope everyone out there has a wonderful holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, and we look forward to peace, joy and another 600!
