You're a Mean One..........
I think the early cold snap and snowstorm will help spark the holiday season. At least that may counteract the negative effects it had on the daily commute!
Speaking of Christmas, I’m proud to say my shopping is done. The only thing left is the wrapping, which I am far from proficient at. Hell, I’m not very good at anything that requires neatness, or mechanical dexterity and aptitude, which makes me the polar opposite of my beloved father (I’m sure he’d concur). Sometimes, I think my brain just moves a lot faster than my hands can!
Anyway, I was feeling pretty festive last weekend and decided to surprise my wife with some new outdoor Christmas lights when she arrived home from out-of-town. Apparently, the Grinch had decided to foil my plans! I went to five stores attempting to buy two sets of the new LED lights in any shade of blue. After meeting my frustration quota, I only managed to come home with only one set of green ones! I suppose I’ll have to get them next September when they roll the Christmas junk out again!

“…they say that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Christmas came through….”
And the lights that were green, as green as the Grinch’s hairy old hide turned blue, as blue as the eyes of sweet Cindy Lou Who. The blue glow from the lights crept closer and closer till their light enveloped the grouchy old Grinch and his heart and his eyes soften and accepted the holiday spirit inside. The Grinch stopped grumbling about traffic and weather and stores at the mall. His face twitched and his nose wiggled till finally he actually grinned just a little! The blue it traveled right down through his body and the Grinch who was as vile as a seasick crocodile turned sweet and tender and loving as well. It started with lights for his beloved wife and grew and grew. Now no longer would Whoville worry and fret for the Grinch now made each Christmas the best one yet!
