For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 23, 2014

Not what Elly wants to hear in the middle of the night!

Here’s some ketchup. Or would you prefer salsa?

Been reading ahead?

if those bratty kids show up, everyone else will leave

Betcha a nickel you’re wrong!

And all we kids had to sit at our very own tippy, shakey card table setup. Then someone would spill their milk…

but that is the best kind of chaos.

Careful now. I don’t remember myself, but these strips HAVE already run years ago and some people do recall whether all these folks Elly mentions did show up or not.

A chaotic family Christmas? Those are the best kind! :)

Coming from a large family, I have to say I enjoy a “chaotic” Christmas. When it’s family and close friends, there is no formal “hosting”. It’s like a bar-ba-que, but in December. Everyone just come and eat, talk, laugh, dance and play. It is the one time you don’t worry about having so many folks in your house. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Chaos, maybe, but absolute chaos? Can’t have that unless :- Carrot Top- Discordian activists- aliens- Godzilla- any or all of the above, or moreshow up.

As I recall, the “good ol’ fashioned Christmas” was originally run in 1989, where they stay with John’s brother-in-law on the farm.

You forgot about Ted. He should be invited. This is a person with class, good looks and muscles.

An Old Fashioned is something you see on TV. Get real.
