9. Of course not
if I would get off my procratinating butt, I would have some lights up...but it seems it always takes me until the 15th to get in gear. I think most people start after Thanksgiving, don't they?

21. I am a grump
because it is so cold here tonight. It's not supposed to be cold here. And I lost all my Christmas stuff in Hurricane Wilma's storm surge last year, most can be replaced...of course, but not the ornaments from childhood that my mom made for me and that our family had given me over the years. I feel at a loss, don't know where to start.:shrug:

29. Not to be Debbie Downer, but....
My 93-year-old mother (whom I lived with and took care of) had a heart attack last year on 12/22 and died on 12/28. I am not up to a tree this year, but did some decorating last weekend and put some ornaments on my large Norfolk Island Pine. If I can do it, so can you.

Don't you know that we're supposed to be waging a War On Christmas?!?

30. Oh, I'm not hiding or ignoring a DAMN thing.
I'm reporting you to the Liberal Overlords for not adhering to our War On Christmas edicts.

That's right. You, my friend, are ON REPORT!

(BTW, Merry Christmas to you, too. :D )

37. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.



But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
