We lost my aunt to lung cancer Feb 2005- it was heartwrenching to watch her go from the person I got my sarcasm and wit from to this shell of what she used to be. Christmas was hard on all of us it was the first without my grandmother and aunt since I was born (Ill scan an older pic from 1993 later of all of us). We were all at my parents house and we were all done opening, or so we thought. My mother had my grab the 4 shirt boxes for my brother in law, sister, my wife and myself and we opened them together. The tears and laughter started right afterwards.
"This ticket is good for 1 cruise admission to our choice- Love Mom Dad and Aunt Danice"
After everything was split up after my aunts death, the lawyers proceesed everything my parents took what was left and took care of things (like my aunt wanted them to do). Enough was left over for the 6 of us to go on a cruise. My mother then said my aunt loved a party and mom knew that we would take the $$ and pay bills (the four of us said guilty at the same time) so on my aunt's behalf mom booked the cruise.
This past March we left on the cruise- thanks to my aunt.
Time for a BAD Christmas joke. You've been warned...
Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are exchanging Christmas gifts. Luke is surprised by every gift given to him by his father, but Lord Vadar manages to identify every item before opening the package.
Picking up a box Vadar says, ?new gloves.? He opens it and, of course they are gloves. Grabbing another he says, ?helmet polish.? Yep, it?s polish.
Luke is amazed. He says to Vadar, ?How do you do it?? Vadar says?

Yes I am. Well, I have to be at work, but I doubt I'll get much work done. Since I'll be the only one around of management status I may just bring along some Christmas cheer for a few agents and myself. Holiday pay and liquor. That should make for a not-so-sucky day
