Well the shopping should be done, but probably isn’t.  All the decorations are up, and it’s almost “Show Time.”  It’s time to get excited because “Santa Claus is coming to town.”

No matter how old you get, you still get the butterflies in your stomach when you think of that.  Unless you have 17 grandchildren, have been shopping and wrapping for weeks, and you are so done with Toy’s R Us, you can’t stand it.  I was there 20 years ago.  To this day I still don’t wrap anything anymore.  Everything goes in gift bags.  The grandchildren are grown and just prefer money.  Shopping is so much easier now.  But I do miss Christmas morning at our house.  If you could find the floor under all that ripped up wrapping paper.  It always looked like Toy’s R Us threw up in my living room.  But their happy, smiling faces made it all worth while, and Bob and I got to play with the toys again.  Now the most exciting thing, beside clothes, are the dog treats.  What is wrong with this picture?

Please enjoy your Christmas, especially if there are small children involved.  They don’t stay small for long.

“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
