>Merry Christmas to you !!!!!

>Please don't worry.
> I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important
>thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away
>from your ailing mother. I've sent along my last ten dollars
>in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren.
>God knows their mother never buys them anything nice.
>They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies.
>
>Thank you so much for the Christmas flowers, dear boy.
>I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave.
>Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know
>she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good
>funeral so Aunt Viola and I dug her up and had the services
>all over again. I would have invited you, but I know that
>woman you live with would have never let you come.
>I bet she's never even watched that videotape of
>my hemorrhoid surgery, has she?

>Well, son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now.
>I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't
>you worry about me. I'm also getting used to the cold
>since they turned my heat off and am grateful because
>the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain. Now don't
> you even think about sending any more money, because I know
> you need it for those expensive family vacations you take
>every year. Give my love to my darling grandbabies and
>my regards to whatever-her-name-is -- the one with the
>black roots who stole you screaming from my bosom.
>
>Merry Christmas.
>Love, Mom
