Holiday Spirit

on: Nov/15/04 and its been viewed 999 times

I heard on the TV today that there are only 40 shopping days left until Xmas!

FOURTY!

4. 0.

Four. Zero.

Ok - where did the time go? Who took it? Exactly WHO made off with the time?

To get myself into the holiday spirit (and to gear myself up for all that shopping!) - I decorated myself. Well, my blog, anyways. Hopefully this will spark your holiday spirit, too!

    What exactly is a shopping day? Is that like a business day? If so, why? Don’t more people shop on the weekends?

    Shopping days, Gary - are any day of the year, 24/7. Any day is a good day for shopping!

    I try not to shop on the weekends - - especially during the holidays. I value my sanity too much for that!

    Speaking for the guys, there is only one shopping day ’til Christmas… Christmas eve as always. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow……

    Love the look, but isn’t it too early for Christmas? Can’t we get past Thanksgiving before we start thinking about Christmas? I know the stores have had things out the week before Halloween, but now its like these holidays are trying to take more then their alloted time, but what is that alloted time anymore. Sorry didn’t mean to rant, just not ready for the Christmas season yet. Too much to get done first.

    LOL Jay - if you miss the blue look - you can just skin the site over on the far left in the drop down menu :)

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lisa spanked my spirit!!!! :twisted:

    Dang, that reminds me, though. I still have like 2 Christmas presents to get so I can be all done with my Christmas shopping.

    OOOoooOOO I spanked Astro! :twisted:

    2 presents left?

    You disgust me. You truly disgust me! :shock:

    Does it help that I know what the two presents are and just have to go pick them up????? :mrgreen:

    That doesn’t help at all, Astro - and you know it!

    You’ve driven me to hit the Tom & Jerry’s or the hot buttered rum a bit early this year!

    At least you’re not hitting the Ben & Jerry’s yet. You do that and I’ll start worrying about you!
