Subject: Christmas Day
Christmas Day is one time of the year when lots of people all over the world get "homesick". It happens to me -- even when I'm home.
Every year you're bound to hear some youngster say "I wish that Christmas would last all year." What they don't know is that it does. Wait 'til they grow-up & have to pay off the credit cards.
Speaking of trite expressions (I was) someone is bound to say, "It's the thought that counts". Oh yeah ??? Next year send all your gifts C.O.D (Collect on Delivery) and see what happens.
Thankfully most store employees still get Christmas Day off. Of course others have to work so they can take all the stuff they put on final sale for Christmas and mark it down for tomorrow.
My daughter-in-law (Bonnie) asked my Grandson (JimJr JrJr) if he had seen Santa Claus Christmas Eve.
Lil' Jimmy said, "No, but I heard what he said when he stubbed his toe on the sofa."
I'm not sure though that we're not giving the wrong impression of what Christmas is all about. My Grandkids received so many toys requiring batteries I wonder if they don't think the Holiday is to celebrate the birth of Duracell.
For years one gift I could count on when my kids were young was a bottle or two of "English Leather" after-shave lotion. I thought for a while they liked the smell. Then it dawned on me... the stuff had an aroma just like my wallet.
