Glad it is over...

I don’t know about you, but I really don’t

enjoy Christmas until about 1pm on Christmas

Day.

I hate the shopping of it.. The buying gifts,

and hoping it is the right one and etc.

The grandkids and great grandkids are easy.

The gift I give them, is the right size, (I think)

the right color (green)  and always fits.. It is called

money.  The youngest ones I send dollar bills.

They open the card and see all the ones and think

they are rich.. And then when the sales come

on, the parents take them to the store to see

what their money will buy.

I have 99% of my children trained to NOT buy

us anything for Christmas.  I keep telling them

that Christmas is for kids.. so to spend on

their children and then grandchildren.. That is

where it is at.  And finally they are listening..

All I want is a card.. That is it..  And a call if they

aren’t busy.    And luckily, that is what I get.

But over all.. to me, it is WHEW, it is finally over.

and maybe I will mosey down to the store this

afternoon to get a few things from the grocery

store..  Still not going to Walmart, until maybe

tomorrow..  The frizzy should be over by that

time..  That is until next week, when they drop

the prices 50% to 75%.... Even then I stay away

until that afternoon.. Figured if it is all bought out,

then I didn’t need it anyway..
