CHRISTMASThe approach of Christmas brings harrassment and dread to many excellent people. They have to buy a cart-load of presents, and they never know what to buy to hit the various tastes; they put in three weeks of hard and anxious work, and when Christmas morning comes they are so dissatisfied with the result, and so disappointed that they want to sit down and cry. Then they give thanks that Christmas comes but once a year.

Screaming in outright terror is more like it! It is a new affliction, growing with each passing day. I think I need serious help.
LOL I agree with Mr.Twain :)
Keshi.
Well, brandy sounds fun - the fact is if I had some, shopping would be downright dangerous :-D
Hi Keshi!
The wisdom of Mark Twain is right on! He is someone I would have loved to meet.
I'd also keel over with a heart attack upon looking at my credit card bill... hmmm, what was I thinking? John Barleycorn and I have a rough relationship :-D
You are the nut... ding dongs and doritos - HA HA. With me it would probably be Stilton Cheese and Brie... you see I have more stuck up taste :-D
Three weeks?,more like three hours for me on X-mas eve.As for the kids,they always thought the boxes were best,the bigger the better.gb

Goodness - I thought you were sleeping sweetly on the floor all this time.
Dreaming of YOU :-}

"you see I have more stuck up taste :-D
"I'm much snootier now"
Etc....
See what I miss, when I go to bed!
ha ha - you don't miss it - just add to it! Now I'm off to bed - oh, and we forgot to decide what tropical island we're going to...
Oh, gosh, decisions, decisions. :-)
Mark Twain was a genious.
Christmas doesn't bother me near as much as late January bills. Ugh. I just gave myself chills.
Yes, the bills are almost as horrid as the Christmas crowds. They are both high on my list of things to avoid....
