Have Yourself a Very Little Christmas

posted by on December 16 at 12:54 PM

Last week I got home to find a fireplace in front of my bedroom door, built by one of my housemates, Kyle. He’d been talking about how we needed a place to hang our stockings. Well, this week he kept saying the house needed a tiny bit more Christmas cheer. I should have known what that meant… This morning, as I emerged from my bedroom (crawling out of the fireplace), I found this.

The note:

Dear ZHouse,

I’ve gone through the trouble of finding the best Christmas tree that money didn’t buy. I hope you guys find it as nearly adequate and almost sufficient as I do.

What do you expect from a man who runs marathons while juggling in a dress? You're lucky he didn't build a half pipe in the living room so he could practice his big wheel tricks!

Do you think he can produce some elves? That'd be awesome. You'd have to watch where you step, though.

Are you leaving him milk and cookies?

Yeah, you can't post a picture including a note without a transcription of the note.

When I read this earlier, it had the transcription of the note posted here too. EDITED!

As for the note, it opens with the malapropism: "I've gone through (sic) the trouble of finding the best Christmas tree, etc., etc., etc."

Most people merely go to the trouble, and stop there, staring trouble in the face. But this Comcast Housemate increased the degree of difficulty by going THROUGH the trouble, confronting god knows what within that gelatinous mass of whatever trouble might be in this case.

Incredible.

It looks like:

Dear Z horse

I've gone through the trouble of finding the best Christmas tree that money didn't buy. I hope you guys find it as nearly adequate and almost sufficient as I do.

Good one @9

The guy at the bar looks over to Lucy, sees she's in between sips of her beer, and asks, "Would you be so kind to pass the....hehe PEANUTS?"

"HAHAHA!" Lucy perks up suddenly, "I'm so stoned motherfucker! And have no time for Polite Christmas Cheer!! Try being your own Goddamned comic!"

That is officially the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

Bows of holly shit. The note did get cut off. Not sure how that happened, but I reposted it. Pretty close, Sachi, how on earth could you read that? But it wasn't the Z horse... it's Z House, the name of our extremely humble yuletide abode.

I admit I was uncertain about the "horse" and wondered if it could be house!

I downloaded the pic, opened it in Preview (I have a Mac) and looked at it with a couple levels of magnification. At the original size, some words stood out; at a larger size the rest were easier to read. I had to flip around to get "money" and "buy".

No, I had nothing to do last night. Why do you ask?
