To all my Gnomads... Merry/Happy Chrismaka! I was delighted to be asked to join Gnomad Princess Consuela Banana Hammock to celebrate Chrismaka. As La Conte Gnome posted earlier Chrismaka is a very JOLLY time indeed.
We began our day by having what is called "Chrismaka Punch". What is "Chrismaka Punch "? Well it's an adult beverage, and as any good Gnome I would never pass any adult beverage. I am always ready to experience a new tradition and "Chrismaka Punch" will defiantly be added to this Gnomes list for traditions.
For those Gnomads playing at home making "Chistmaka Punch" is easy, satisfies any palate and may be used at any get together. To make "Chrismaka Punch" you need Cranberry juice, Pineapple juice and Malibu Rum. Mix all together to taste. First add Cranberry juice and then add Pineapple juice (about twice as much as Cranberry) then add the Malibu Rum. A word of advice from this Gnome though, this drink is very refreshing and has a kick.
I had a wonderful time. I had many drinks and had more than enough food/treats.
One very unexpected surprise I experienced while visiting Gnomad Princess Consuela Banana Hammock's family... I saw some distant cousins.
At first I thought these wee eyes of mine were playing tricks on me. After many Chismaka drinks who would have blamed this gnome from thinking I was seeing things.
As I took a minute to daydream out the front window, thinking how the other Gnomes and Gnomads were celebrating this joyous season I saw a glimmer. No it wasn't St. Nick La Conte spoke of in an earlier post, it was a glimmer of a Gnome hat.
Were these wee eyes decieving me? Should I have past on the last Chrismaka Punch passed to me?
No I wasn't seeing things right there on the other side of the window I saw them, two larger than life Gnomes staring right back at me.
Gnomad Princess Consula Banana Hammock took me out so I could met the two Garden Gnomes. As you can see by the picture they were Garden Gnomes and not Travling Gnomes by their size. I was glad to have met Garden Gnomes. As Mike and Ike Garden Gnome told me about their lives as twin Garden Gnomes I was glad to be a travling Gnome. Mike and Ike Garden Gnome told me stories how that every Tuesday these men showed up in their truck and moved them from their flower bed home to other areas in the yard.
Unlike the Garden Gnomes I was thankful to be a Travling Gnome. These wee eyes have been lucky enough to been able to accompany many Gnomads on their adventures.
I look forward to the new year to see what the new year adventures will be.
