On the Fifth Day of Theme Week...

Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Home for the Holidays week! Mom’s Home-Made Raisin Bread!


I can smell it already!


So one of the traditions in the Jeremy household is making and subsequently eating Mom's home-made raisin bread, from a recipe passed down for generations. It really is quite delicious, and a remarkable pain in the butt to make. This prompts the traditional Christmas Raisin Bread Discussion in which Mom asks if we really need to make it this year, and everyone else looks at her like she has three heads and announces, "Yes." The making of the raisin bread commences, and it's one of the highlights of the entire holiday season. Then on Christmas morning, we all gather around the table to a delicious breakfast of raisin bread and stocking-stuffer Pringles. (Yes, that's actually another tradition...you'd have to be there to understand.)


Awwwwwwwwe.


Bottom line here is that I've enjoyed bringing you this silly theme week, most of which seems a bit ridiculous, but I assure you, every one of the Status Messages has its roots in the truth. Every family has its own little quirks and traditions around this time of year, and I'd like to wish you the happiest of holiday seasons with all of them.


Jeremy Is In The Office will be Out of the Office starting tomorrow and returning January 5, when the Blag you know and love returns with a whole new year of Sametime Status Goodness.

Our family has a funny tradition Every Christmas eve the family gathers around the tree, and we put on the "Christmas Song" sung by Nat King Cole. And every time Nat sings the word chestnuts we kick my Uncle Perry in the nuts. It's a wonderful tradition for all of us,except for Uncle Perry
