Crissy Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am so sorry you feel that way, Heather. Is it the weather? The actual upcoming holiday? The commercialism? Whatever it is, I wish for you more happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlemaiden Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 You want a scrooge competition.....bring it!:D This morning I walked out the front door for a marathon day of errands- Birthday preps (dd turns 8 tomorrow), Baby shower preps (best friend has hers tomorrow), grocery shopping (a $300 trip easy), and to put together an auction basket for a wives meeting tomorrow night (thankfully I don't have to attend, just contribute the basket). I open the screen door to nearly step on the cutest little Christmas bag of candles, candy (the good stuff), special soaps from Pier 1, the works! It was lovely. Still I grinched at the thought that I needed to put together two bags to pass on to other neighbors! Ba Humbug! We do these secret gift exchanges on Halloween, Christmas, and Easter- it is sort of a military housing tradition. It is fun, but this morning I was not amused. I hope that will be my last Scrooge moment....but I doubt it.:) Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifersLost Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's December first, which means the tomte is on the prowl! Be careful not to step on any small gifts lying underfoot. (Doesn't the tomte come to your house?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
