Christmas everywhere

Christmas central here in Nashville! My human,Mike, took me to work with him last night and we had a Christmas night together. Being a professional cake decorator of 30 years,at holiday time puts him on over nighters to keep up with the demands of his fabulosity!


Gingerbread houses are poppin up all around! This one was done by his coworker. We won't reveal her name. But it's awesome just the same.


Along the ride to Mike's job,we encountered several light displays. We just had to stop and shoot photos of them. Now these are not the fabulous ones we want to show you,but it's a start. As Christmas progresses,we will be showin ya'll many light displays in our nieghborhood.


The chicken is cookin in the oven and smells great. Mike has lost 80 pounds on his diet and is lookin good! The light displays are awesome! Love it and is part of Christmas for us. Funds do not permit us to have Christmas,but we find ways to make a wonderful Christmas. We are blessed and share Christmas in other ways.



This is the street outside of Mike's job. Isn't it Christmasey? Love the season and all it has to offer!



Here I am sittin in the poinsettias in the Job. Christmas in awesdsome and we love all the decor it provides. Beautiful I tell ya!



This is one of the many Christmas trees his job has on display. We just had to stop and take the photo. It takes our breath away.



Welcome ta Nashville. These guitars hang on the wall. Artist have done their magic on them.



In Nashville ya got ta have the guitar bling! It would not be Nashville without it!


Everyone we know has a band and is tryin ta be the next country music star. Us ya'll ask? We just Sock Monkey all over the place. We'll leave the country music to the pro's.


Hey! Merry Christmas!



Funny thing bout Nashville. Today it's in the 60's temp wise,but Sunday calls for snow. Go figure!



Here I am showin my mug in the street scene ya'll already seen.



Mike had ta do 50 gingerbread men on his job. Here I am showin ya'll the Christmas treats!

This is Bubba bein all Christmas spirit in Nashville. Happy Holiday! Bubba

Merry Christmas

Hello bloggers! And Merry Christmas. Ever wondered what a Sock Monkey looks like in a Christmas tree? Well now you've seen everything! Here in my retro tree and all. Yes it's original! No remakes here. Love the old time Christmas stuff.


Right down to the stockins hung by the chimney with care. These stockins are Mike's original stockins from the 60's. More for decoration this day and time. Want to keep them as long as we can.



Mike and I have wonderful memories of Christmas.

Have yourself a Socky Little Christmas! I want to see everyones Christmas Sock Monkey photo's. Show us your Christmas Sock spirit!


I've got a Santa suit! I'll save that photo for Christmas eve. My Human found a stockin out in the back alley last year and turned it into a Santa suit for me! I know all ya'll are waitin for that!


Pour yourself a cocktail and come sit by the tree with us! Bubba

Greetins Holiday shoppers

Greetins Holiday shoppers,Peeps and Possums! Twas walkin through Walmart the other day and much to my Sock surprise,Christmas music was playin! What the #@$%*! Please,not before we feast on the turkey! Looks like they are tryin to get ya'll holiday shoppers in the mood for spendin! Keeps the economy goin! But if we don't have it,why we can't spend it. Perhaps another tax check would be in order? LOL! Sounds like a plan ta me! Run off now and barrow the money from China!


Christmas my ass cried the Sock Monkey dressed in red! I jumped with all my might on top of the Grinch! I wresstled him to the ground and begged and pleaded for him to steal Christmas back for the moment! We are not in need of the Christmas Holiday just yet! He simply replied"It doesn't come in packages,boxes and bags"! It's rather difficult to explain. So...I guess our fate for now is to continue on hearin the Christmas tunes for two solid months! Ouch!



So I just got my cup and saucer down and poured myself another cup of tea. This would require some serious thought. Perhaps I could live with my Ipod on till it's time for the Christmas spirit to hit . I simply throw my hands in the air and walk away......Bubba

The Sock is in the wash.

Hellllooooo.....Are ya'll listenin? Anybody in there? Oh there you are! Sock Monkey salutations! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. So much goin on these days! Why there's votin for President and Halloween has come and gone. Sayin goodbye to George W.! Sorry I didn't mean to sound so excited at the last comment. The scary part? We still have to pay him for the rest of his life. Tax dollars at work. But enough about all that rubbish duckie! Obama it is and it is what it is! So there ya have it. A new four years off and runnin. Soon as we swear the dude in.



And the wheel on the bus goes round and round.....Ya'll know the song. How many Presidents have you seen come and go now Mike? Let's see...You'll be 50 in April....I'd say a good many. Wow! Why your old enough to know if history repeats itself! I say old chap! What was the big bang like?LOL! Quite right old man! You've seen a 1/2 a century go by. You say the history of rock and roll was eventful? Yes I agree.



I'm sittin in my rockin chair as well. I'm the same age old man. Don't you fret.



Sittin on the sidelines of the election. Happy mid week! Bubba

Pumpkins are in season

October is here in full swing! The pumpkins are showin up all over the city! Looks like ornage in the new pink! Mike and I bought a pumpkin to carve and here it is. Got nice proportions and a nice size. I am already startin ta see a face on one side.



Look at the size of these pumpkins! WOW! We talkin serious jack-o-latern! We need a chainsaw for these babies!



And what about these white pumpkins? Aren't they the coolest?


Pumpkins all lined up in a row. It is clear ta me october is in full swing! I absolutely love this time of year. The temps are gettin cooler and this Thursday we go down into the 40's.




The spooks and goblins are on the prowl. Lookin ta creep ya'll out or perhaps a good scare.



The Mums are in full bloom. They are truely beautiful. Many different colors ta choose from. All the colors of fall make my heart sing.


Mike loves pumpkins eventhough he's not good with carvin. We still enjoy it. And that's all that really matters. We got the biggest spook of'em all. Her name is Alyce!



I could tell ya'll horror stories bout that bitch! Freddy Kruger is a pussy cat compared to this cunt. She stocks people! And that's just the tip of the ice burg. Not gonna ruin a perfectly good day on her. Yes! I am flippin her off! Break a pumpkin over her head! Have a great day! Bubba

Thursday mornin Cha-Cha!

Howdy doo Possums! It's a cool fall mornin here in Nashville! Lovin the fall weather. Project runway was really good last night. It's one of our favorites! Bye Bye to the straight guy. He got eliminated. What's up with this Suade guy talkin in the third person? Suade doesn't like this kind of thing. Kind of stupid if ya'll ask me. But what does a Sock Monkey know? I'm really hopin Lindsey goes all the way to Bryant Park. I think she has a lot to offer. She's got a great personality and I love her laugh. I love that she does a lot of vintage things. She's not afraid to use prints in fabrics. It's great that she doesn't listen to Tim and follows her gut. She'll go far even without project runway. Thumbs up Lindsey!



So long for Thursday! Bubba

Hallelujah Wednesday!

Hallelujah! It's Wednesday! Mike is off from his job! I'm happy to report the weather has cooled of considerablly! Fall is in the air. We're glad for that. As I lay here on the train track of life,I love it! Don't get your cake tips in a wad!



See? I told ya'll not to get your cake tips in a wad. But ya went ahead and did it anyway. It could be worse. Your kitchen could be stacked up with all these dishes!



And then ya'll would spend all day washin them. It would certainly be like you were livin in a cage!



I sure don't want ta be in any cage. Have a great Wednesday mornin! I'll be back later on. Bubba
