Well it is that time of year again, it's Christmas Eve. Families... Stockings...chestnuts...Rudolph and Frosty...those things ring a bell?

But on a more serious note, l was down there today, (shopping ctr) and one woman collapsed in the electronics store, and was taken to hospital.

Another Chinese guy had his head down on a coffee table, while his Ferrel kids ran around the tables, and me unfortunately.

But eventhough busy it wasn't a madhouse l expected in the carpark, and even became a bit quiet later on.

So, the stress of this time of year got to some, not me, since l had that all done weeks ago.

And the lady at the liqueur store, even wished me Merry Christmas, a welcome change from that Happy Holiday, politically correct nonsense.

I kept away from David Jones, as l didn't want a p***d off Santa ringing a bell all day again.

So everyone have a good one, and remember that no good deep goes unpunished.



And PS, share your experiences, or how many elves you slapped, (whichever comes first).

      You too!

      I also failed to mention coming back from the shopping ctr, half a dozen cars in front of me ran a red right hand turn signal.

      I guess since the road was empty, and they had enough, they thought, stuff it.

      Either that or red means Santa gives permission?

    I read where 53% of people were Christmas shopping yesterday.

    I'm glad I didn't wait until the last minute.

    Don't do well with crowds elbow to elbow and traffic backed up.

    Merry Christmas!

      There were plenty of people there, but l got a parking space straight away, (a few days, previously it was like circling birds of prey).

      And sure 15 minutes before closing, some started rushing about, (unfortunately the big, stupid ones, you wouldn't want to get in the way off) so that was a little scary.

      And probably a good reason not to go down there, for kicks.

    Hit Dicks Sporting center needed 1 gift card. Walked in today before 9 am and walked out in less then 5 minutes. I have done Christmas eve shopping early or late in the day when every body is leaving. Great time to get in and out of stores. By Midday most people are spent from shopping, have to go some where or waiting for the Day after Christmas sales !

    People were nuts on Friday around here, getting in the way. A few trying to sneak around you at he check out counter. I have some choice words for these people but will save it...

    I live just outside a university town -and the students have gone home for the holidays....no traffic - no crowds - no lines.

    In the high 50's Friday - and I walked the entire downtown district buying gifts and eating a cookie (Ultimate Cookies) and ice cream (Graeters)...gyros for lunch at Skippers. All places I avoid normally due to crowds and no one was around!

    Everyone was friendly and teasing and it was a fun day for someone who hates to shop. Family in from LaCrosse flew into Cincinnati yesterday and the airport here wasn't very busy though they said O'Hare was 'interesting'.

    Spent more than usual this year but so far dinners and parties have been a blast and it's one of the least stressful holidays I've been through in years.

    A friend called this morning to say she arrived in British Columbia safe and sound - after TEN DAYS of traveling in a truck pulling a horse trailer (was supposed to be a 5 day trip). She met a man 6 months ago - and they are getting married in 2 weeks....and will live in B.C. I thought she was adventurous till I met her 'intended' - now I think she's crazy....but wish her the best. At least good to know she arrived safely.

    Only disappointment was not playing a game with guests at the house last night. They were playing 'cards against humanity' and my son is uncomfortable playing that 'dirty game' with 'a parental unit'. Judging from the laughter of the 4 couples playing, I think I missed out!

    Happy Holidays' y'all.

      I love CAH, too, but I also couldn't play it with my mother. Just the thought makes me shudder.

      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

    That goes without saying, but he has fruit loops all over his one, as it reminds him of dunuts!
