Wishing a Merry Christmas to you and yours.

The only shopping I have left is groceries for the Christmas Eve dinner party we are having.

 

Merry Christmas back at ya!

Just finished up my shopping yesterday. The only thing left is some wrapping.

Christmas shopping is such an effortless thing for me. Everything is done online at home. I go through and order everything I want to buy for whoever and in such a way that it arrives already wrapped and tagged. Once it arrives, just arrange everything and set it aside.

 

No crowds, no fuss, no running around in bad weather.........none of it.

 

 

Thank god for the internet.

 

I can't wait for my kids to become Santa Skeptics because they're killing me. Several items on the Santa list, while not particularly expensive, are just sold out everywhere. The way the kids see it, that mattters very little because SANTA IS SANTA and only the chumps who need to buy the stuff at the store need to worry about sold out.

 

I need an egg nog.

Are you insinuating that Santa is not real?

Of course not. I just hope the Big Guy has my back in case I can't find this stuff on the shelves.

Ach, my kids buy the whole Jesus thing lock, stock, and barrel. As did I as a kid. Their spirituality is theirs to figure out as they grow up.

 

As for that last item on the list, they know they will be tossed out in the cold if ever they turn their backs on the Way of the White Sox.

Shut-in.

 

Considering that I just got a check for the side work I did for a bank, Christmas is awesome and paid for.

what kind of work?

Shut-in.

 

 

 

Not exactly. Just cause I do my shopping from home doesn't mean I dont get out and party.

I finished my shopping in October, and everything has been wrapped since mid-november.

 

I have a minor bout of the stomache flu the past few days, but other than that I'm in the holiday spirit.

 

Today I have to go shopping and finish up my dad's Christmas shopping (which he started on Monday).
