Well, today is my day off. I am going to put my mad Sharpie skillz to use and start crankin’ out your Christmas cards today.
I needed to get in the card making mindset before I began today so last night after work I ventured to downtown Bagwine.
It wasn’t the greatest of nights weather wise. It was cold and drizzly.
But, because I love you guys so damn much, I persevered and took a few pictures to help get us all in the Christmas spirit.
This is the city Christmas tree…It’s about 40-50 feet tall…

This is the city Christmas tree…It’s about 40-50 feet tall…
The building standing loud, proud, and sassy is the old City Hall…It’s a 100 plus years old.
A close shot of the tree with the old City Hall in the background…
This shot is of the new City Building built in the early-mid 70’s. Tres’ Chic, No?
This is the downtown Marriott. I did my best work here when I was a male prostitute.
This is a bit more of a panoramic view of the downtown…Who knew that inbred drunks and crack addicts could decorate so well?
Lastly…After the picture taking, the Baby Jeebus moved me and I shot a short video that contains a feeble, yet stirring, off the cuff Christmas carol. Enjoy.
So there you have it. A little slice of Christmas in Bagwine. I hope you enjoyed it.
Now, I must get to creating your Christmas cards. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I will making them.
Cheers!!

OK, so here I am sitting in front of my computer and hit the play button on your video...
Then JUST as you begin to sing the sky opens up outside and a CRACK of lightening and thunder hit so close it felt like it was right next to me...
Seems you may have pi**ed off the baby Jeebus with your singing
Seriously folks..be careful when you listen to that video..someone is NOT happy.
And if you do not think you pi**ed him off, then why, as soon as the video ended did the rain stop and the lightening and thunder end???
HUH Matt-Man...'splain dat one...
Bond: Oh c'mon, Vin. Baby Jeebus loves me. He was merely adding some pyrotechnics in order to enhance your viewing pleasure. Cheers!!
Methinks Vinny was hitting the Sambuca a bit too much.
Nice photos and view of the thriving metropolis of Bagwine, OH, Matty me boy. Really gets me in the festive mood.
Or not.
Songbird: Scrooge... Cheers!!
Not me, man.
Songbird: Good...This is a Scrooge Free Zone. Cheers!!
Damn! This post almost added to my Christmas spirit. I knew that I shouldn’t have clicked on the video.
[;-)
Kidlet and I loved the lyrical take you gave us on the baby jebus lovefest.
I wanna know did you have a hat out on the ground? You know, for cash? What was the crowd reaction?
Nick: Ha. Hey, I have to put Yin and Yang in all my posts. Cheers Nick!!
The pictures are beautiful! The singing? Well ...
And don't be playing with my cockles!
Starr: There wasn't anyone around outside. It was miserable out. But if there had been people, I probably would have only gotten money to shut the hell up. Cheers!!
Dana: What? I am a frickin' Sinatra. Bob Sinatra, he's a plumber who lives in Apt 108. Cheers!!
Mattman my darling you can sing your little heart out. Or come over and be my Christmas tree...hmmm are you a white lights guy or more of a colored lights man?
Hope: Drape me in colored lights and make me your Mattenbaum, baby. I'll be your singing Christmas Tree. Cheers Hope!!
I'm pretty sure that you standing on the street corner singing isn't anything the good people of Bagwine haven't seen before. I would probably get arrested if I did that here.
I am planning to do some driving around videos of our Christmas lights. But, without the singing part.
Those lights are really pretty though. Ours suck.
Jay: Ha. I am going to take pictures of the tackiest displays in town at some point to offset what I think is a pretty good job by the city.
Can't wait for your next Vlog. Hola, Bitch!! Cheers!!
WOW how purdy! And the lights are nice too.. I look outside at my town and I see...
DARK...
Rural America.. gotta love it but I miss Christmas lights. Time to call my boy-os and ask them to trip out to mommers' house and hang some huh?
Cheesy: It is purdy. They did a fine job. Looks even better in person. And dammit, yes...Get those boys to stringin' some bulbs. Cheers Cheesy!!
until that car went by I was getting worried that there were no people in Bagwine
the photos are really pretty matty
I think the new building resemble one of them there fancy river boat casinos. Very nice pictures.
Dianne: Thanks. Oh there's plenty of people they're just all passed out most of the time. Cheers Di!!
Lu: It's not a bad looking building...a little mid 70's sterility but not bad looking. Cheers Lu!!
Matt Man knows how to use a camera? Who knew....
Vodka: Ha. Indeed I do, in spite of my inner Amishness. Cheers VM!!
I haven't heard that carol in the malls yet, I guess they play it after 10PM.
Micky: Ha. Good One. I really need to get some new material. I do have a Bill O'Reilly, War on Christmas song in the works. Cheers Mick!!
Matt: You light up our lives.
Songbird: I blame whatever Vince was drinking that had him post pictures of himself being attacked by Christmas lights.
Vince: Admit it, you stopped touching yourself and that's why it all stopped. We all know hoe much you love the sound of Matt's voice.
Phfrankie: Ha. I always that if I had had another son, I would have named him Clem just to fuck with him. Cheers!!
Anndi: I am so frickin' incandescent, aren't I? And yeah, the Vin-Meister digs me lilting tones. Cheers Anndi!!
Wow! Your downtown is just beautiful and I LOVE that tree!
Bina: Hey there, Bina. Yeah it looks really nice. We are not a huge city (61,000 or so) but there a quite a few thing this town does well. Cheers!!
I want to hear all the male prostitute stories at that hotel. That's my Christmas wish! ha ha
That damn old man is pulling away in the vote BIG time. Let's just chalk it up as a fun campaign and just like politics, the best man never wins because usually the best isn't even in the running in the first place and the best in the running isn't critiqued based on content anyway. My hit numbers show that his voters aren't checking out my blog to compare content...
VE: Maybe I should post the pictures of him teabaggin' a hooker. Then again, if people are like me, that would make them MORE likely to vote for him. Buck up my good man, and Cheers!!
Holy crap it's December!
You have a sexy warble.
Knight: Welcome to the month, Knight!! I have a couple of classics yet to post and a couple of new ones. On them, now that I know how you feel, I'll warble the hell out of them. Singing in a 20 mph wind driven rain helps the warble. Cheers Sexy!!
Thanks dude. My cockles feel much better now.
Jeff: If your cockles are happy, I'm happy. Cheers Jeff!!
Great pictures babe! Sure does make our shitty downtown look good!!
Schmoop: It would look even better if you were sitting atop Oracle's Vision completely naaaaaaaked. Cheers Babe!!
Ha! You slay me! Loves!
Schmoop: Oh I'm gonna do more than slay ya. Well...in 5-7 days anyway. Loves, Tongue, and Cheers!!
my cockles are so freakin warmed!
Bagwine looks absolutely Capra-sque..feels like I am looking at Bedford Falls.
MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU OLD BROKE DOWN SAVINGS AND LOAN!!
HUGS!!
Leelee: Ha. You're funny. Not to mention being a human cockle warmer yourself. Cheers Cutie!!
;-)
HUGS!!
I poked VE yet AGAIN. Man, that guy owes me big time. At least a DINNER, for crying out loud.
Anyhooo, I LOVED your downtown pics. I'm such a sucker for Christmas decorations around towns, especially grand old buildings. Love.It.
Leelee: By the way, the guy across the hall? His name is actually James Stewart. Go Figure. Cheers!!
Giggle: Thanks. It looks pretty nice here. And next time, poke me, would ya!? Cheers!!
Kidlet has your song stuck in her head. She is paranoid she is going to get expelled for singing it. She said, and I quote, "thanks a fucking lot, Matt Man!"
No idea where the potty mouth came from..
*looks innocent*
Starr: I can't help but feel a little disturbed that your daughter has access to my "wisdom" and "lyrics". Cheers!!
*snort*
You've met her mother, right?
very nice tree. another year gets by me without seeing the lighting of one. oh well. what, me worry?
Isn't this a fun time of the year. Our City tree was lit Monday night! They're so beautiful! I love driving around at night and checking out all of the lights!
See, Anndi blames me for the things that she, herself is doing...
Put down the bullet Anndi and get rid of your cold
I went and voted for VE. Sticker please...
You were spot on about his competition. He really is the best out of all of those bloggers.
Starr: Ha. I guess so. Cheers!!
Dice: Oh no!! You musn't be treeless. This is an outrage. Cheers Di!!
Michelle: I do too. And yes indeed, I do love this time of year. Cheers!!
Bond: She's pure evil isn't she. Cheers Vin!!
Jen: Why thank you very much for voting. I think he is far better than the others too. Cheers Jen!!
