Christmas isn't fun any more...

I have said that Christmas is for kids.. and it is..

Nothing brings out the brightness and sparkle of

Christmas than thru the eyes of a child.

But as an adult, with no little ones in my life

local... Christmas pretty much sucks.  It is

just another day, with lots of commercial hype.

Buy this.. buy that...

It isn't just because this year Christmas has gotten

knocked out by tragedy in our family and also

our friend who lost a son 2 weeks ago.. We just

don't do well at this time of the year.

The King and I kind of ruin it for those who want

to do for us at Christmas time.. but when we have

needs, we go out and buy it.  So trying to figure out

how to surprise us with something..  it is hard.. even

with the King and I with each other.  Like this year.

During Black Friday, they had tablets on sale.. so

he told me to go get it.. he needed a tool.. go get it.

What we really like to do.. and maybe in 2016 we

can do it.. as he will be retired.. but go way from

Christmas.. go to the beach.. even if it is cold and

windy... it is still cool to see. and even bundled up

and walk it..   Maybe next year..
