Fun ‘Decorating’ With FROS!

For Refreshment Only Sundays (FROS) is getting in the holiday spirit and I could use some help. All of these helpers need direction!

For example, Mt. Oly favorite, Hugh Jackman, has finished hanging the lights on the porch and now it looks as if he’s ready for a snowball fight. Anyone care to join in?

And he looks pretty serious about it, too.

“Hugh, sweetheart, are you sure you want to throw that? You could hurt your back!” (I really hope he doesn’t hurt his back. Then he’d be forced to stay on the couch, unable to move or– Oh.) “Hugh! Go ahead! Throw that snowball! I was just kidding! In fact, I dare you to throw it twice!”

I hope that works.

Let’s see, what else needs to be done. Oh, can someone help Cristiano Ronaldo deliver our secret Santa gifts?

He’s such a sweetie, that Christiano!

Just as sweet as our beloved George Clooney, who is getting the stockings ready. Did I mention that we found the PERFECT stocking stuffers this year? We have — but I’ll just let George explain it to you.

Imagine waking up to find that in your stocking! Pretty sweet, eh? It’s the best–

**JANGLE!**

ACK! Someone knocked something over in the kitchen! Who could it be? Let’s send Ben Affleck to find out. “Be careful, Ben! It could just be the cat!”

I don’t know why he always comes to Mt. Oly armed. It’s not as if he’s in any danger here. Much.

“What that, Ben? Oh, it’s just a delivery? From Suzanne Enoch? Terrific! Can you bring it in?”

Wow. We’re going to need a LOT of help with this holiday task. I do hope you’ve rested up and are ready to get serious about decorating. And Yuling. And all of those other holiday sounding things, because let me tell you, this is going to be WORK!

In the meantime, here’s to a great FROS week! I hope all of you are getting into the holiday spirit, and had as much help getting ready as we’ve had here on Mt. Oly. May your week be filled with the warmth of a holiday FROS!

    Oooh! Hugh Jackman! Karen, are you planning on going to see Les Mis at all? Apparently HJ lost a fair bit of weight to play the main male role.

      Kelly, you know I *must* see Les Mis. The trailers look fabulous.

  4. LouisaCornell says:

    These FROS are certainly decorating my computer screen for the holidays! I think they just reheated my cocoa! And I am going to break my long movie-going fast once Les Miserables hits a screen near me. Cannot WAIT !!

      Lol! Glad we were able to reheat that cocoa! I’m excited about Les Mis, too. Hughely!

  5. Ginger Robertson says:

    Fun! I would love to help decorate, but I’m still recovering from the flu. That being said, I will get my little elfette to assist, but will need to put a mask over her eyes as she is only 15. She will need really simple directions so as not to embarrass us all…lol. Elfette aka Vicki my niece.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Ginger, I have an elphette niece, too! :) I hope you’re all better.
