A Betsy’s Blog Christmas Party

“Christ-mas is coming! The goose is getting FAAATTTT–“

Blogosphere?

“Please to put a penny in the old man’s HAAAAATTTTTT–“

Blogosphere!

“If you have no penny, a ha’ penny will DOOOOOOOOOO….”

Blogosphere! Shut up for a minute!

What? Oh, hey. How’s it going?

What are you doing up on that ladder?

What does it look like I’m doing? I’m decoratin’

You’re decoratin’, uh, I mean, you’re decorating? Again?

Yeah. For the party.

Party?

Yeah. Party. Must you repeat everything I say?

*crosses arms* No, but the other things I want to do to you can’t be done in a blog post.

Huh. That sounds like a quote from your book.

Never mind. *waves hand* When did we decide to have a party?

WE didn’t. Your Muse and I decided when we were out to dinner last night.

Out to….Blogosphere, are you DATING my MUSE?

Hey! She’s a lot of fun when she’s not all tied down to you.

But–

Blogosphere? Honey are you here? *Muse enters the post* *sees Betsy* *stops* Oh. Hello.

Hello, Muse. Something you forgot to tell me?

Like what?

Like that you were having a PARTY in my blog maybe?

Oh, that. *Muse waves it away* It’s the Christmas season. The Blogosphere and I wanted to have a little fun. I thought you were talking about the other thing.

You want to–what other thing?

Never mind.

Hey, babe, did you see the decorations? Whaddya think?

*Muse looks around* Oh, Pookie! They’re just beautiful! You did such a good job!

Pookie?

What color ribbon is that anyway?

Puce. I had it left over from the Release Day party.

Ohhhhh. Pretty.

Can we just talk here for a moment–

Look who I found outside wandering around!

I don’t– Coffee?  Coffee, is that you?

Ah, Betsy. **Coffee takes Betsy’s hand and kisses the palm** It is so good to see you, ma cherie.  I had to be here.  You consume me.

Oh, Coffee…you’re talking with such a sexy accent…

I am ze French Roast.

Of course.

Let’s all sing!

Okay.

“If you have no ha’ penny, then God Bless You!
God Bless You, Gentlemen, God Bless You!
And if you have no ha’ penny, then God Bless You!”

What the hell is a “ha’ penny” anyway?

Oh, Blogosphere. Go look it up in yourself.

*everyone laughs* *eggnog is spiked and poured* *Coffee brews*

And the party continued long into the night. But it was okay. Coffee was there to wake Betsy up in the morning.  *wink, wink*
