One Christmas I spent most of the week home with a cold.
While at home I discovered a number of ways to make the best
of my situation. Here is what I came-up with. Martha
Stewart, eat your heart out.
1) Used tissues make great "angel" decorations for your tree
or wreath. Plus, they don't need hooks or wires!
2) With that deathly pallor and those dark circles under
your eyes you won't need makeup for your part as Tiny Tim in
the town play.
3) NyQuil can be used as your holiday "cheer." It's deep
green color looks great in your Grandma's finest crystal and
it's taste complements most holiday foods including
fruitcake.
4) A hacking cough need not exclude you from caroling.
Simply ask the choir-master to let you do the "dog barking"
version of Jingle Bells that's being played on the radio
stations.
5) The loss of taste which comes with a cold can actually
play to your advantage at the family fruitcake eating
contest. Likewise, fruitcake's lead-like qualities may make
it the only food you can keep down.
6) Can't get a seat at midnight mass? Start blowing your
nose and asking the people next to you if they would like
some figgy pudding. You'll probably clear-out a whole pew
for yourself.
