Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who puts up the tree in November, and puts on the Elvis Christmas album right after Halloween and plays it until February. I'm just a guy who likes Christmas. You know what I like best about Christmas? Not having to buy many presents. Yup, it's true. God bless my wife - she does all, I mean all of the shopping. I've tried to help, or make suggestions, but I've come to the realization, that Christmas is the time of year when my wife gets to be a small "m" martyr. This isn't to say that I'm totally off the hook. I still have to buy her something. Gift certificates don't count (found that out a couple of years ago) and neither do CDs (she wasn't too keen on getting an album I was hoping to get myself). The real joy of Christmas is to be found in children. Not spoiled little wanker kids who holler and carry on, but in little kids who still believe in Santa, and whose eyes get wide when they see the fat man. Last year we had to bribe my oldest to sit with Santa, this year we have to bribe him to stay away. This year he's seen Santa at his house twice, at the mall three times, on the street once, at my company party once, and at our annual family reunion Christmas party. It would be safe to say that at my son knows how to work the system. Lucky for us he's not greedy. He asks for the same thing every single time. The challenge has been trying to find what he's been asking for. Oh well - that's the fun of Christmas. Thankfully my youngest is afraid of the big feller this year. Next year will be fun. I like Christmas a lot. Jevster |
