2019 DEMPSEY CHRISTMAS CARD
Raise your hand if you used to watch TBS's 24-hour marathon of 'A Christmas Story' on Christmas Day? For the Kiczek Family, this was the background music to our Christmas Day. I'm not sure we ever sat down and watched the whole thing yet I can still recite (and hear my Dad laughing at) all the best parts:
-
You’ll shoot your eye out!
-
I triple-dog-dare ya.
-
I can’t put my arms down!
-
Meatloaf, Smeatloaf, Double Beetloaf.
-
He looks like a Deranged Easter Bunny.
-
Aaah! 'Fra-GEE-Lay!' It must be Italian!
Those last two iconic moments became the inspiration for this year’s card where, despite all odds, we somehow convinced our very stubborn six-year-old to wear a pink “Deranged Easter Bunny” suit and our very cautious four-year-old to stand on a table in dress-up heels, wearing a DIY FRA-GEE-LAY lampshade dress.
If we’re making them sound cooperative, please don’t be fooled. Nora cried. THE. ENTIRE. TIME. And Jack’s performance was heavily sponsored by sugar. Another year of the Dempsey Christmas Card is in the books!
