Oh, and that Rachel Ray who's always going on about Dunkin' Donuts; I'm getting pretty tired of her saying "delish" and prattling on about gingerbread donuts.

That's so sad. I'm glad I am no longer a tobacconist; I always felt conflicted selling that stuff to people. One of my happiest days was when a regular customer who hadn't been in for a while, stopped in to say hello and to tell me she'd quit smoking- I came round the counter and gave her a big hug! Tobacco is so addictive and serves us no benefit; my heart goes out to everyone trying to quit.

I absolutely loathe the Jared's commercials! I've told my fella not to buy me anything from them, just on principal.
Trygon- I was hoping to set up our tree yesterday, but we got involved with cleaning out the garage instead. Hopefully, tonight's the night!

I actually had the same thought myself. About 5 years ago, my old congregation was stressing because the k-hall needed repairs and was too small. They planned to sell it and build a new one, but it wasn't getting any offers. Lo and behold, it caught fire one early morning when no one was there. It was declared a total loss, and the insurance paid for a bigger, nicer hall on the same spot.
The cause of the fire turned out to be faulty wiring. Which struck me as odd, because the presiding overseer is a licensed electrician. And one of the other elders is a building contractor. While I don't want to accuse anyone of something so serious as arson, the whole thing just seemed very iffy to me.

I like books (historical fiction especially; used is just fine.) I would also adore music or other souvenirs from my Santa's locale. A nice framed photo of my S.S. would be great. If you're crafty and want to send something homemade, so much the better! If you want, burn me a mix-disc of your favorite songs I might not have heard yet.
The first year I participated in this, maybe three or four years ago, my Santa sent me a Christmas tree ornament and a hefty, large coffee mug. The ornament went on my nearly bare tree immediately, and has decorated my trees every year since. The coffee cup is still my favorite, and sees daily use. The collection of skulls and one skeleton I received two years ago are still proudly displayed in our home. So, thank you again for those awesome, thoughtful gifts!

I have a hard time dealing with people who claim to be especially intelligent or learned, but who are actually just misinformed. If I correct them, I'll look like an ass; if I don't, they'll look like an ass. Either way, it's awkward.

Any day now, we're going to be seeing snow up here. It'll last about six months. As long as I can pay someone else to shovel my driveway out, I'm happy to sit back and watch the blizzard from my easy chair whilst clutching my mug of hot cocoa. I love the way everything looks so fresh and sparkly right after a big snowfall!

For the past few years, I've needed to help my man get presents for his family, friends, and coworkers. Now, if it were just my little circle I was buying for, I'd be done in no time, but he's got a huge list of people to buy for, and absolutely no time to do his own shopping. I've found myself driving in circles all over the state of Maine (after dark, in blizzard season) tracking down the "perfect gift" for a bunch of folks I've never even met in some cases. And what the heck am I supposed to get for his ex-wife? It can quickly become an unpleasant chore if I let it!
Last year, I had the brilliant idea to streamline the whole affair. Everyone on The List received books. I went to a Barnes and Noble with a list of everyone's interests, and they got books they hopefully enjoyed. Except for a few special extras, all my shopping was done in one store, and I had time to relax in the coffee shop before heading home. Of course, I told my honey that I'd sent all the women on his list (ex-wife, sisters, teenaged neices) sexy lingerie, and all the men got copies of the movie Brokeback Mountain. I had actually believing that for a couple of days, before I broke down and told him it was just books.
This year, everyone might all get cd's. Or they might all get handcrafted pottery pieces made to order by my cousin. Or they might all get hand-knit scarves made by me. Probably not the scarves, though- I should have started those months ago! The important thing is not to stress over it. Christmas should be a fun time. Spend what you can afford, and don't overthink it.
Jingle jingle!
