Creepers

Hello all, I am sure by now you have a little blog withdrawal. It's been a crazy couple weeks. I was in Houston 2 weeks ago, with bad weather it took 12 hours to get down, should have been like 4. Had to stay an extra day, got back Thursday night, then went to Somerset then Alexandria that weekend. Then it was X Mas week. No time for blogging. Special apology to Wayner, who created a circle of songs website, you should all check it out. Anyway, Jerry and I were gonna hammer out a tune X Mas Eve, but we didn't really get around to it. Xmas was good. Max enjoyed himself, getting lots of presents and running around with all of his cousins. I hope to have some songs posted soon, some more vids of max, just a better blog in general. You'll have to wait until things calm down, hopefully in the next couple weeks. Enjoy your week everyone.

*** I had something I was going to write about that I thought would be funny and blogworthy, but I of course forgot. I'll have to start carrying around a tape recorder to get my thoughts down. ***


The Hokenson house, thanks to Gary & Carol for their hospitality. Max had a good time with the puppies and the horses.

Kelli had my old baseball jacket from about 8th grade. Still fit! Also, the annual December beard, gonna try and keep it for the next couple months, sorry Sam!
Holding hands, awwwwwwww!

I'll make you love the Situation

Hello devoted readers. Not too much crazy happened this weekend with the Strehlo's. Max saw santa this weekend, he kinda froze but didnt cry or fuss. This guy goes to Houston tomorrow. Dont get too jealous, only there until Wednesday and its supposed to rain the next 2 days. Boo! Well, I better get to packing, here's some pics.

*** Also, lots of feedback on the list. Maybe another one coming in the future. I think we left out some good ones and there was some disagreement with the final top ten. There's a surpising amount of solid xmas songs out there. Tough to get it down to just 10 songs. ****

*** Anyone recognizing that title is aware of the greatest trashy tv show ever. Jersey Shore, i'll admit it, I love it. ****



This kid was sitting right behind the car and wouldn't move. Lars tried to get him to move but he was having none of it. No parents in sight of course. He was only trying to make sure the kid didnt get hurt but probably looked like a kidnapper to anyone else watching.



Look at my new slippers!

Tis the Season

Hello All, not too much to report at the Strehlo house. Just watching the vikes game. I have a bad feeling about this, of course we are down 14-7 about 1 min after I said that. Put up the ol' Xmas tree today, getting into the holiday spirit, more on that later. Thanks to all those who voted on the poll, I think Sam is able to sleep now. Not sure why but she is a big beatles fan but hates Paul. Maybe she'll come on an explain her feelings. Kinda got a little writers block here. Anyway, me and Sam were discussing xmas tunes yesterday and we decided to post a top 10 best songs. So without further ado in no particular order:

Bing Crosby and David Bowie-Little Drummer Boy
Tom Petty-Christmas All Over Again
Dean Martin – Baby It’s Cold Outside
Judy Garland- Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Wham-Last Christmas
Little Saint Nick-The Beach Boys
Nat King Cole-The Christmas Song
Mariah Carey-All I want for Christmas
Bruce-Santa Claus is coming to town
U2-Baby please come home

Just Missed:

Bing Crosby – White Christmas 12 Days of Christmas – The Muppets,

Otis Redding-White Christmas, Madonna-Santa Baby, John Lennon-So This is Christmas

Brenda Lee-rockin around the Christmas tree,Bobby Helms-Jingle Bell Rock
