Ten Months of Hibernation: Funny Friday

Today’s post is this month’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

1. Elf to the mom and dad: It's January, it was a tough holiday season. When I said I need a drink, water wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

2. Elf to family: Thanks for the aspirin, and for the water. One minor problem . . . you do know I don't have opposable thumbs, right?

3. Elf to the mom and dad: I kept your kids in line for a month and all I get is a bottle of water? Where are my holiday gifts? I could use a new pair of pajamas.

4. Elf to the family: Phew, feels good not to be hanging from chandeliers and sitting on the edge of the potty for a change. Ahhhh, to stretch my legs again. Wait, you're not going to try to shove me back in that box in the attic, are you? Nooooooo . . . this is the thanks I get?

5. Elf to himself: Another holiday season in the books. Feels like I just spent a month playing The Amazing Race, Homebound Edition. And I'm pretty sure I won. Wonder what the prize will be. Bet it's 10 months of hibernation. I could use it.


For today's recipe I'm sharing a spiced, spiked coffee. Perfect for an Elf on the Shelf after a hectic holiday season or for mom and dad on any cold winter day:

Ingredients (makes 3):
4 cups brewed coffee
3 ounces Cinnamon Roll Vodka
2 ounces Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
1 ounce Amaretto
whipped cream
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp ground cloves 

OPT: milk, half and half or creamer to taste

Directions:
*Mix the vodka, whiskey and Amaretto into the brewed coffee. Pour into 3 mugs. Top with whipped cream.
*Mix the cinnamon and ground cloves.  Sprinkle over the whipped cream.
*OPT: I mix the whipped cream into the coffee when drinking, which lightens the coffee. If you prefer a lighter coffee, mix in your choice of milk, half and half or creamer.

  2. The Elf on a Shelf is such a creepy dude! I could so use that coffee at work right now. It's almost 4pm on Friday so a little caffeine and booze would do the trick!

    1. Wish I delivered to NYC. Maybe the Elf will bring it to you, he's not busy these days.

  4. Forget the elf...8 oz of alcohol to 4 oz of coffee. This should be called coffee flavored alcohol! Whew, girl after my own heart. Let's have a few cups this morning!!

    1. I think you better put on your glasses, my friend. 6 oz alcohol to 4 cups (32 oz) coffee in this recipe, which serves three. Although there are certainly days when I would prefer it your way!
