Bad Christmas Writing...you know you want to...

Ok, so I wrote a REALLY bad Xmas run on sentence (on purpose I swear)  anyway...i'm gonna post it here.  Write the absolute worst sentence you can write and post it.  

Mine:

Christmas time is that magical time of the year where gingerbread cookies and turkey and ham remind you of when your mother used to tuck you in at night and you could smell her hair cause she used that great shampoo but now that smell is gone and christmas is sad

Ok, gonna give it a shot though I know I'll get it wrong.

Mine:

Remember how you used to bake cookies for Santa but ended up eating all of them before it was time for bed so you got the idea that Santa was kinda plump anyway and needed go go on a diet I mean eating all those cookies couldn't be healthy so you cut up so oranges and left them on a plate with a glass of milk and a letter then went to bed. (True story I did this,lol)

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

So we've got this tree, and it's fake, which kind of irritates me because my family always had real trees, but anyway, it's fake and the funny part is that the outside branches are all plastic and look kind of realistic, but inside of the tree they all look like bad construction paper mock ups of pine trees, which is really irritating because it's not like I can't see further than two fake branches in, so what's the point, but at least we've got that smelly pine scent oil stuff to put on our lamps because if I drink a whole lot of egg nog (with rum) and then shut my eyes, I can almost imagine that it's a real tree instead of a cheap, knockoff, plastic one.

Christmas on an island off the east coast of Florida has always left me feeling kind of out of sync with the whole holiday since all the commercials and Christmas cards and such always depict some sort of winter wonderland with chilly hands being warmed by mugfuls of rich, hot cocoa and outside the bare branches of all the trees are sparkling with ice and kids running about in mittens and scarves having snowball fights in their front yards that is also home to a rounded, jolly looking snowman with his jaunty hat and carrot nose and the only thing we can do down here in the sub-tropical climate is head to the beach, soak up a tremendous amount of sand and make a sandman which really isn't quite the same because instead of rosy cheeks and running noses from the cold, you have sunburned noses and runny eyes from the saltwater and stuff and our bare branches are usually because its rather hard for trees and the like to survive is such salty, alkaline sand so the best we get is seagrass and occasional scrubbrush along the land's edge and as pretty as it is here, I would give anything to be in a place that had an actual change of seasons so I could have that white Christmas that everyone is always singing about.
