For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 25, 2018

Merry Christmas Lynn and company.

you know the carol (and the Latin-spoken chorus) pretty well, Lizzie

Actually, it’s “Gloria in excelsis Deo,” Elizabeth. But you’ve got the right idea!

John may have his lyrics wrong but his observation is painfully on the mark!

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and happy Tuesday to you all!!

“Behold, the mother Elly shall conceive and bear an Old English Sheepdog, and they shall call his name Farley” (which means, homage to Farley Mowat).

Some glory in “Alka-Seltzer”.

Actually, it’s both! Merry Christmas to all of the FBOFW fans!

Elly has hairy knees. :o\

No parties, no baking, no xmas dinner, gained 3 lbs anyway.

In excelsis deo indeed. Good one!

Mom looks like she’s in Labor!

With a dog or a cat in the house; that stem glass of wine next to John is going to end up on the carpet or the chair!

So are they the Pattersons or the Fattersons?

Wikipedia:Gloria in excelsis Deo" (Latin for “Glory to God in the highest”) is a Christian hymn known also as the Greater Doxology (as distinguished from the “Minor Doxology” or Gloria Patri) and the Angelic Hymn /Hymn of the Angels.

Elly looks like she is about to give birth.

Not this time, Elizabeth (BELCH)! Daddy’s right.

Mama don’t look to good!!
