A Rogue Holiday

Back in the days of yore, Rogue recalls gettin' all wacky during the holidays which back then seemed to last for months instead of the 5 minute Christmas Rogue is experiencing this year. 


Filled with the spirit of Christmas, donning matching sailor suits because our parents hoped we'd be shipping out soon, along side her one-legged sister, as the ring leader Rogue would giggle, cavort and act silly ensuring a group of inebriated irritated adults nearby with cameras and no life. Rogue has no idea who that girl is between ole one-leg her sister and Rogue though she's obviously in the throws of holiday fever and needs medication muy pronto!




Rogue's mom offers up this helpful holiday tip for all of your out-of-control chillens this season. Apply superglue liberally in order to maintain decorum during the holidays. 




Rogue notices how both her and her sister's bow ties are messy by comparison to Aunt D's (center child with holiday fever) which means Rogue's mom previously used the ties as gags when the kids became too mouthy & rowdy. That's probably another one of the many reasons, Rogue became Rogue, and another handy holiday tip for raucous uncalled for frivolity during this time of year. 


Settle down you kids or Santa will skip this house completely!

What's up with that penguin? Or is that the brother no one talks about in a penguin suit?

Nice bangs....that looks a little short to be your dad. What great pictures! I guess in some way I am glad I have no "visual" history of my childhood. ;)
Did you flock that tree yourself?

Awwwww..... y'all were so cute in your matching dresses!! My mom did that to us, too...... wonder if I have any photographic proof to back that up? Must dig through the old photo albums.

These days parents rely on handheld videogames to fix the children in place. Personally, I think the superglue solution would be better for them than that.

The Penguin looks a little shell-shocked! But other than that, I hope you have a happy holiday surrounded by love and all things good.
Love, Minnie

Am just getting caught up on my reading. I love this post! MY mom dressed my two sisters and me in matching outfits until we graduated from high school. Well, not really. But for quite a few years.

Those were the days....
