Christmas is coming

As it's only 3 months to go please let me be the first one to do this ---- Haaaaaaa
Just a reminder. Christmas will be here before you know it !

"I made myself a snowball
as perfect as can be,
I'd thought I keep it as a pet,
and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas,
and a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away
But first-it wet the bed.

Come on man, it's not even Halloween yet.

I'm looking forward to stringing my new LED Christmas lights on my new roofline, using a new ladder leaning against my new house.

Oh yes, that time of year when we get to spend money we don't have on gifts we can't afford for people who don't really appreciate them anyway...

Me? I'm not cynical, no way! Happy...umm, upcoming whateveryouwanttocallit! (Remember, it's not PC to call it Christmas or Holidays anymore lest we offend someone!)

This Christmas I'll be giving my Christmas shopping dollars only to retailers who are not ashamed to mention the reason for 99% of their business in December, and letting those who are too ashamed of my holiday to mention it by name why I'll be shopping elsewhere.

What is snow?

I would have to take down the Halloween lights first to put up the christmas lights.

I just went to Sam's Club and they have all of the Christmas stuff out now. I just shook my head and laughed. The kids were like...we want this (no)..We want that (No)..Daddy, Can I have this (um, No) Daddy can (AUGH, NO, Nope, NADA, Lets go).
