Doesn’t it seem like FIXmas music starts earlier every year? You know, the music that marks the season before the holidays, when it’s time to get your home fixed-up for guests.
Let’s see if we can get you in the mood by kicking-off with this classic. To the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”:
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
After weeks of preparing
And light home repairing
There’s no need to FEAR…
We’re now ready for guests…to be HERE!
Of course, it gets a little colder during FIXmas season, so you have to prepare. To the tune of “Baby It’s Cold Outside”:
I really can’t stay
(Baby it’s cold inside)
That chill from the door-way
(Baby it’s cold inside)
Call Fix St Louis right away — for weather-stripping…
The FIXmas season is also a time for bittersweet nostalgia. Let’s harken back to the days of yore, before the federal government commandeered our commodes. Before they reduced tank size from a luxurious 8 gallons per flush to a miserly 1.28 gallons, forever enscripting us to working with our hands on a toilet plunger. To the tune of “The First Noel”:
The first bo–well,
I ev-er did see,
Had a gen-er-ous 8 gal-lon cap-a-ci-ty.
Wait, I hear footsteps! Could that be Santa? No, even better! It’s Mariah Carey singing her Christmas wish list.
I don’t want a lot for Christmas.
There is just one thing I need.
I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want a lovely home.
Faucets made of spot-resistant chrome
Make my home brand new.
Get Fix St Louis out here, that’s who!
We’ve got to wrap things up, so you can get back to preparing your home for the holidays. But let’s send you off with energy and inspiration. I invite you to stand-up as you would for the last movement of Handel’s Messiah, sing-along, and raise your voices to the heavens, so loud that even your neighbors way in the back of the cul-de-sacs can hear you.
On the 12th day of FIXmas, my handyman fixed for me:
12 toilets running
11 plumbers plumbing
10 drains a-leaking
9 floors a-creaking
8 fans a-spinning
7 framers shimming
6 tiles a-laying
5 WAX TOI-LET RINGS…
4 falling shelves
3 French doors
2 whirlpool tubs
and an off-track door on a pan-try…
Wow. That FIXmas classic never fails to bring a tear to this old handyman’s eyes.
There’s still plenty of time to get your house repaired and upgraded for your holiday guests. Invite us to your house for a free estimate, no punch and cookies needed or accepted. Happy Holidays from Fix St Louis!
