littledonkeydiaries day 6

00:45am Here we go local dysfunctional family, three Bedouin tents down kicking off.  He’s drunk and singing his own version of Deck the halls with boughs of holly to his flock of sheep, three humped back camels, and two cross dressing hybrid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.

Dig the holes with boughs of holly, 
Fa la la la la, tra  la la la la. 
Tis the season to be jolly, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

She’s stood arms folded foot tapping, the ever closer sound of Roman Legion Traffic cops on the way.  The local smart arse is whistling right on cue “bad boy bad boy watcha gonna do”

01:38am Order has been restored, say what you like but these Roman Legionnaire S.W.A.T guys don’t mess about. I think the chariots where a bit excessive but who am to argue, beside who don’t love a charging 14 hand  roman mare in full battle dress.

01:50am Taking a chill break online, chating wit a couple of the guys from the Donkey Union didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to desert caravan park jokes.    "You know you're really not middle class and living in a  Bedouin style caravan park in the desert when.."

• The Halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your spouse.
  
• You let your twelve-year-old daughter smoke at the table in front of her kids.
  
• You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws.
  
• You think a person who is "out of your league" bowls on a different night.
  
• Jack Daniel's makes your list of "Most Admired People."
  
• You think Genitalia is an Italian/Roman High ranking soldier.
  
• The  value of your camel goes up and down, depending on how much water its drank.
  
• Ya' can't git married to yer sweetheart 'cause there's a dang roman law against it.
  

10:00am Oh what a night on the trailer park. All packed up season greets given. Exchanged presents and we are out of there so fast. No more visits until Easter.

02:00pm Not sure if it’s the ever shining star bright light syndrome or knowing that the stalkers are just harmless hippies, but what ever it is I am feeling so crimbo like. I know I know  am on a schedule to complete the nativity before the 25^th, but I am thinking couple hour’s time out, do some christmas shopping. 05:30pm Oh, for the good old days, when so called civilised people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money.  I blame the Egyptian Pharaohs for this shop till you drop mentality. The introduction of easy credit is a future disaster waiting to happen.

 My hooves are killing me I have been kicked pushed and elbowed in places I didn’t even know existed.

The rudeness of people, what’s with this new craze of dressing up in red suits and ringing bells on street corners? All the high street shopping pain for what, this year's must have present “a small bottle of Frankincense”.  Hope Maz likes it.

07:15pm  Its murder out there. All this just to buy Jo the  new portable workbench, he’s been hinting for about 3 months now.  Another must have man gadget to deck some halls with holly or something like that.

Normal sane people have become must have now crazy shoppers. I swear the Zealots are behind this Christmas thing. The number of beggars and lepers hurt and killed in the crush is beyond a joke and a horrible way to go.   "When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his chariot"
