My old neighbor just drove about 6 miles to my house...

just to pepper my house with snowballs.

Jesus, I thought I was getting invaded.

THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK

Ran downstairs and outside in my bare feet to see what the hell was going on. Threw some snowballs at him and wished him a Merry Christmas.

Now, I have to dry my feet and put some socks on.

But at least you had fun!
The neighbor must have known you'd appreciate a battle.

No white Christmas here. It's just going to be cold and damp.

We trade pranks back and forth.

He's 20 years younger than me, and we have the same mentality.

Cold with decent snow cover here in upstate NY.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

.... take all your clothes off. Fold them all up nicely and place them on the front steps.

Then roll around in the snow on your front lawn and make snow angels.

Merry Chistmas and Happy New Years.....
