son of a nutcracker

What an excellent seasonal oath. ANYWAY! It’s almost Christmas! Thank goodness: I was in desperate need of a vacation. I’m at my parent’s house right now, but very soon I’ll be in California frantically trying to acquire all the Vitamin D I’ll need until May. I was weirdly busy on psychiatry, but David and I still managed to do some fun stuff in December in spite of that.

The only holiday decor DIY I did this year was an advent calendar. Instead of little tchotchkes and chocolates, I had each day correspond to an activity. We went to Chicago’s Christkindlmarket, watched A Muppet Christmas Carol, and drank a LOT of eggnog. Mmmm. However, my favorite activity by far was the one in which David and I rewrote the lyrics to popular Christmas songs so that they were CeeCee-themed. I’ve pasted some of our creations below for your enjoyment and my own embarrassment.

“Me Cleanin’ CeeCee’s Caca” – (to the tune of Mele Kalikimaka) – words by David

Me cleanin’ CeeCee’s caca is the thing to play
On a cold Chicago Christmas Day
That’s the prying feeling of a sticky poo
On the bottom of a litter tray

CeeCee knows that scooping takes all human might
Toxoplasmosis dust fills all the air in sight
Me cleanin’ CeeCee’s caca is the thing to play
To fill our plastic sacks with poo

Me cleanin’ CeeCee’s caca is the thing to play
To say Merry Christmas
A very hairy Christmas
A very hairy dusty airy Christmas, to you!

“Santa CeeCee” – (to the tune of Santa Baby) – words by Ellie  

Santa CeeCee, just bring a clicky pen into bed for me

Wrestle it while I snooze, Santa CeeCee

So hurry down the hallway tonight

Santa CeeCee, a permanently clean litter box too, no poo

‘Cos we scoop all the time, Santa CeeCee,

So hurry down the hallway tonight

Think of all the puke I wiped

Stepping in your messes gave me such a fright

Next year I could be just as good… if you don’t puke purely out of spite

Santa CeeCee, I wanna cuddle, really that’s not a lot

Been so snuggly all year, Santa CeeCee,

So hurry down the hallway tonight

Santa CeeCee, one little thing I really need…

No kneads, on my boobs ev’ry dawn, Santa CeeCee,

So hurry down the hallway tonight

Santa CeeCee, fill my stocking with string and shiny plastic bling,

Pigeon wings on the top, Canta CeeCee,

And hurry down the hallway tonight

Come and wreck my Christmas tree, strew the decorations far as I can see!

I really do believe in you,

Let’s see if you believe in me

Santa CeeCee, forgot to mention one little thing… a milk ring,

I don’t mean for your hand, Santa CeeCee

So hurry down the hallway tonight

Hurry down the hallway tonight,

Hurry…tonight!

Now, if you made it all the way to the end of this weirdly long post, here’s a picture of CeeCee gnawing on our Christmas tree as a little present. Happy holidays!! (:
