\u201cIf I could turn back the time I\u2019ll do it for you, but time slipped away from me\u201d . . . en dit wat daarop volg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jip, dis weer daai tyd van die jaar. Dis \u201cf<\/span>estive<\/span>\u201d innie Kaap. En of jy nou van Judy Boucher se musiek hou of nie \u2013 sy gaan weer di\u00e9 jaar haar draai in die Wes-Kaap kom maak. Sy het nou maar eenmaal net daai \u201cmagic touch<\/span>\u201d om die volk aan die huil te sing, veral as daai voggies hier net n\u00e1 middernag begin trek en iemand skielik begin verlang na daai lank verlore eerste liefde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of daai antie is kwaad omdat manlief net die helfte van die werksbonus kom afgee het. Dan moet antie Judy maar weer uithelp om die liefdesvuurtjie weer aan die gang te kry. Ai, ek wonder by tye hoeveel \u201cJudy Boucher-kleingoed\u201d hier in die pragtige provinsie rondloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Voordat die tentpenne ingeslaan word vir daai twee weke jaareindkamp by Harmonypark, hoop ek darem die \u201champer<\/span>\u201d-antie het julle nie hierdie jaar teleurgestel nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Onthou, di\u00e9 tyd van die jaar raak daai antie diep gelowig. Ek het hoeka nou die dag gehoor sy laat weet haar klante op sosiale media dat sy nie vir haar skatte hier op aarde vergader nie. Sy beywer haar vir haar hemelse beloning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n O ja, party van julle het mos sommer twee anties \u2013 een vir die kos- mandjie en die ander een vir die vleis- mandjie. Maak tog asseblief seker dat jy daai antie van die vleismandjies goed ken en haar met jou lewe vertrou, want kinta, die soort vleis wat \u2019n mens deesdae te koop kry . . . Ken jou skaap- en beessnitte en moet tog nie volksvreemde diere gaan opkoop nie. Dis rof hier buite. En kies tog jou wors versigtig hierdie jaar. Ons wil jou darem nog \u2019n h\u00eappie nuwe jaar toewens. Moenie net die dikste wors loop kies nie en dan het jy nie \u2019n idee wat die binnegoed van daai wors behels nie. Wees vriendelik gewaarsku! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Feestyd is familietyd. Hoe dan nou anders? Party families het mekaar die vorige jaar laas gesien, maar ai toggie, \u2013 as jy hierdie jaar vir die familie gaan kuier, doen tog jou deel vir die lekker samesyn. Moenie le\u00ebhande by die mense opdaag nie. Jy behoort darem teen di\u00e9 tyd agter te kom dat daai kalkoen en gammon<\/span> waarvoor jy so lief is, deesdae \u2019n plaas se prys kos. En as jy weet dat jou kloegoed vir ontbyt maklik twee brode, \u2019n groot stuk kaas, twee pakke weense worsies en \u2019n kan melk in \u2019n oogwink kan vernietig, dan beter jy daai koshamper<\/span>-antie vinnig opspoor en haar hier op aarde hou voordat sy lus kry om na haar hemelse tuiste te gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Verduidelik nog \u2019n keer jou feestydplanne vir haar en dat jou kinders soos stofsuiertjies is as dit by die eetsaak kom. Noem sommer ook wat jy aan haar sal doen as sy dit gaan waag om met jou hamper<\/span>-geld weg te hardloop. Jy het mos genoem dat jy haar reg deur Krismis en Nuwejaar na Mariah Carey se \u201cAll I want for Christmas is you\u201d gaan laat luister! <\/p>\n\n\n\n En gepraat van daai bonusgeld wat jy by jou werk gaan kry \u2013 manne, laat staan daai gedagtes van jou dat jy ewe skielik op \u201cstand-by<\/span>\u201d by die werk is di\u00e9 feestyd. Daar is baie mense wat jou ken en hulle sal gou agterkom as jy jou lyf op Lambertsbaai se strand wil ewig jonk hou in jou help-my-jonk- lyk-T-hempie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek meen maar, jy weet jou vrou kyk na jul vier kinders en die volgende papnekkie is op pad in Februarie. En di\u00e9 van julle wat daai nuwe kar met die bonusgeld gaan koop, ry tog maar versigtig. Wees nederig en moenie loop en spog met daai blink wiele van jou nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is diegene wat graag links voor by jou wil sit en daai bonus- pakkie sent vir sent wil leeg melk. Gaan bederf eerder vir vroulief en die kinders met \u2019n lekker naweek by die see in Paternoster. Glo my, vroulief sal sorg dat julle nog lank in Januworry \u2019n geldjie vir kos en die kinders se skoolboeke het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek sien al hoe kreun daai tafels onder die kos en drinkgoed hierdie Krismis. Di\u00e9 van julle wat so hard gewerk het aan daai somerlyf \u2013 hou tog matigheid voor o\u00eb, want jy weet al te goed hoe maklik daai sespak van jou in \u2019n biervaatjie kan verander. Ek hoef seker nie eens aan ons mooie vroue te verduidelik hoe daai ekstra bakkie koekstruif tussen jou en jou tweestuk-baaikostuum op die strand kan staan nie. Jy het van September-maand af net te hard gewerk om die koppe op die strand te laat draai. Maar as jy dan nou volstaan met die dis-frikkie-dis-festive<\/span>, dan kan ek seker nie in jou pad staan nie! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die jaar was lank. Jy het hard geswoeg vir jou paar sente. Jy mag dit maar geniet. Die kos en ander lekkernye saam met familie en vriende mag maar die in-ding wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maak net seker ons sien jou aan die ander kant van die ou jaar! Vreugdevolle feestyd! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Post
