elfs and plungers...

 Happy Wednesday.  (One week 'til Christmas).  According to my west coast brother today is "Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day."  I'm told that Buddy the Elf says "This is Buddy the Elf. What's your favorite color?"  It's up to you to decide if you want to answer the phone that way.  Personally, I think a simple "Hello" works well.  But how many of us actually answer the phone these days?  I much prefer texts and emails.  However, today is also "National Wear a Plunger on Your Head Day" if you want to celebrate in a different way.  Again, I'm just a bearer of information.  I don't recommend this at all, especially in the weather we're having.  A wooly knit stocking cap or a Russian style hat with fur lined ear flaps is much preferable in my opinion.  But, if you want to attract lots of attention, the plunger might be an option.  Do make sure it's a clean one.  And don't stick it on too hard if you're bald.  You might create some suction there and you will be wearing a plunger, whether you want to or not for a long time.  Of course you can ask someone in your family to help you get it off,  but you will need to wait patiently until they stop laughing.
