THE EVE IS UPON US

Can you hear that sigh of relief washing across the globe?

Christmas Eve is finally here.

A day of preparation in kitchens.

A day of last minute desperation shopping by men.

A last day, or maybe a half day, of schooling.

A day when Catalyst can turn away from his ghastly long Christmas Comedy Cavalcade.

But the work is not over for one man and a yoked crew of deer as a long night beckons.

So let's see how it's shaping up.


















Ho-Ho-Ho!

Love it! Desperate Men. Aren't they always?

Catalyst said...

I fear so, my friend. Merry Christmas to you and Rick.

Kathy G said...

A great finale! Merry Christmas to you and your house.

Catalyst said...

Thank you, Kathy. And the same good wishes to you and your family.

Ha! I like the trombone one. Makes you wonder how Santa handles it when one person's wishes directly conflict with another's!

I'm sure you and Judy will have a delicious evening meal, and a great Christmas. My best to you both. May our collective new year be better than we fear.

Catalyst said...

Maybe he resorts to a Magic 8 Ball then! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Dave.

RedPat said...

Good ones as usual. Merry Christmas to you both. Looking forward to pics of your feast!

Catalyst said...

Mike, my friend, the same best wishes to you and your family. As to 2025, as YP wrote to me, peace shall break out all over the world and pigs shall fly!

Catalyst said...

Best holiday greetings to you, Pat. I think our Christmas Eve feast will be pretty simple, just Egg Drop Soup, Pork Gyoza Potstickers and lots and lots of cookies!

Loved these. I especially took heed of the sitting on the floor warning.

Catalyst said...

I liked that one too. Happy Christmas Eve, Sharon.

It's the only way. Happy Christmas, Gwyneth!

I am very proud to say my birth year starts with 19 and I can easily get up from the floor! Happy Christmas Eve to you and your family.

Catalyst said...

You're a better (wo)man than I am, Gunga Diane! 😲

CheerfulMonk said...

I'm still laughing, starting with the first one.

Catalyst said...

You're one of my best laughers! Joyful holidays!

Granny Sue said...

First one made me laugh out loud! A fine finale! Merry Christmas, Bruce!

Catalyst said...

As the fat man says "It ain't over 'til it's over!"

It's sad to come to the end of the Christmas Funnies, I've really enjoyed all of them. Ah well, there's always next year.
Have a great Christmas Day and stay safe.

Merry Christmas!

Forgetting his list--what a disaster! I'm always happy to see family yet relieved when it's December 26.
