Yes, it's the Christmas season again, and it's a good thing the Salvation Army bell ringers are out in force because I never would have noticed what time of year it was without the ear-splitting clanging of those bells from hell. I mean, I know the Salvation Army does good things, at least I think they do, but could they lay off with the mad bell ringers? How about a little soft Christmas music and the guy/lady at the kettle saying, just audibly "please support the Salvation Army, if you feel like it." That is my Christmas wish!
Actually, I've come up with quite a few things for my Christmas list, but when it gets down to the real chestnuts of the matter, it's the opening of the gifts that's the fun part! I want for nothing, but the thrill of tearing open lavish packages, ooohing and aaahing and then moving on to the next beribboned box! I playfully suggested to Gameguy (husband) that we have a "unwrap it and return it" Christmas. He was (playfully) in favor of it. Anyone could "have" any present they wanted as long as the giver kept the receipt! I'd be popping on over the the local Lincoln dealership and picking up a Town Car for my baby. He could drive it when we were taking it back to the dealership on December 26th.. Hmmm...I wonder if this is really possible? If my "unwrap it then return it" plan caught on, can you imagine the economic havoc? "Black Friday Sales Up 1000% from 2008!" Followed by "Economy at Point of No 'Return' as Shoppers Rush Back With Their Presents." Okay, bad idea. And also, I lied. I want to keep my presents.
