A UCTMW Christmas

Here in River City, Mistress and Slave are weathering the holidays, looking forward to jumping into our escape pod early Wednesday morning for the long cross country ramble to our mountain hideaway. While we've been able to squeeze in some early morning sex these last few days before our over-scheduled lives draw us from the bed, we've resolved to step things up a notch once we hit the road and head west.

Truth be told, Slave has been a bit of a scrooge this Holiday season. After about a decade spending Christmas out west - Molly, Mick and the two cute Co-Eds in our own winter wonderland- this is the second year in a row we've had to hunker down here in the heartland, dealing with the expectations of our extended family members that they be feted, fed, gifted and accommodated.

That makes me sound like a grumpy and selfish old fart, doesn't it? And I suppose that's so. It's not that I don't have lovely Christmas memories from years past. There were always beautiful trees with nice presents beneath them. There were plenty of family gatherings where I was of the generation being fed, feted and accommodated, after all. But there comes a time when the folks who were part of those early Christmas celebrations move on or fade away, and the memories of those Holiday seasons bring a touch of melancholy to the "festivities". It reminds me of that line from my favorite Christmas song, "through the years we'll always be together, if the fates allow...."

Well the fates have stepped in for our family, just like so many others in recent years. And while the cast of characters gathering around the Christmas tree, Menorrah or bonfire this season of lights may have been pruned from years past, others have joined the party of our lives, and the show must go on.

Now I'm the oldest of my generation and have to admit that, in not so many years, will be part of the memory of the Holidays for my kids and theirs.

So I've resolved to be a good soldier over the next 48 hours: entertain, be merry, generous of time and spirit for Molly, my / our daughters, and my two cute grand-kids.  I'll even try to be nice to my grumpy old Mother when I visit her tomorrow afternoon! Hopefully I will be remembered more as a Santa than a Scrooge!

So, on behalf of our entire staff here at UCTMW, we  hope that all of you - the readers, followers and  friends we've met here in our alternative universe - can enjoy this special time of year  with your own families and friends too!

  1. Merry Christmas to you and yours Mick, and especially your Mom, who probably was the foundation of most of the best of those warm cozy Christmases you remember in the past.

    1. Actually Sin, I think my father was the guy who was behind our festive Christmases. But I take your point. She put up with us and I should put up with her. Mick

  2. Dear Mick and Molly,

    Merry Christmas to you and to WC, too!

    I heard that WC received the industrial sized vat of lube you guys sent. That was both thoughtful and a safe gift idea. I am truly pleased with the gigantic box of his and hers razors, and Bill is thrilled with his Ninja throwing knives! Many thanks.

    Does this mean I have my job back? No pressure, even though it is the holidays and traditionally a time of good-will and generosity.

    The not above groveling,
    Donna

  4. You're all right in my book Mick. I know what you mean. The lake house is bulging at the seams with just family, never mind extended family, and the only sex possible for the next couple of days would have to be somewhere deep in the woods. So rather than suggest you need more time in the cage, I'm just going to tip my hat to you and kiss you Merry Christmas...xox

    You could just as easily celebrated Festivus yesterday and got out of Dodge!

  5. I'm like you, Mick. Actually, I'm not only the oldest of my generation, but also the oldest in our immediate family, and I'm feeling a bit down about it. However, once the guests start to show up tomorrow, and the young grandkids hit their stride, all will be well. CH and I will go to bed tomorrow night exhausted but happy.

    Here's to a very merry Christmas for you and Molly and your family!

    All the best,
    Harry
