Spotted on the highway: a truck with the Grinch’s hand reaching out to steal an ornament 🎄😂
Sir… this is a freeway, not Whoville.
Somebody call Christmas security before he grabs a wreath at 70 mph.
Holiday spirit level: petty but festive 💚🎅

Woke up to a full-blown crime scene in the driveway. 🚨
Turns out the Elf on the Shelf tried to sneak out of town… and got caught in the trunk of the SUV.
Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were running from responsibilities?
Elf bail has been denied. Back to the shelf you go. 🎄😆

51 looks good on me. 🎉
Old enough to know what matters.
Young enough to still laugh at dumb jokes.
Wise enough to order the good wine.
Here’s to another year of growth, gratitude, and not apologizing for who I am. Cheers to 51! 🥂
