Jingle bells, jingle bells, Your butt does smell, Not long left for stores to sell, All the stuff left over from last year, oh well...
One Hundred Twenty Days: Give or Take… Only another hundred and twenty; give or take, Shop till you drop, and make no mistake, Christmas is almost upon us; don’t let them eat cake, Buy them present, toys and ties, underwear and socks, Get them what they need, get them what they do not… For Christmas is a time of giving, or so its been said, Christmastime for me has nothing to do with the past and the dead, A time of joyous splendor, a time to reconnect with those misled… Herald it from the rooftops, such a short time to recollect, Have to remember and recall what it is you bought last year, Cannot get the same thing, unless for all you did buy some beer, No present to small, the thought is what counts, Just remember where I live, yes in NJ right over here, get me something that mounts… © ed ~ 8/25/04

You said it really well. I think the Christmas decorations went up right after Easter this year. The people who are finished shopping about now are really annoying. Of course, in New Jersey we're all getting throw pillows this year.

Those who don't live in Wisconsin want cheese... those of us who DO live in Wisconsin send them some. Simple. I'm done. Merry Christmas you guys. (If I say it again in December, it's just that I repeat myself). What kind do you want? (grin) katy xox. p.s. you haven't lived 'til you've had fresh cheese curds... get our orders in early. bye.

Splendid sentiments, Ed; and you've got the whole family excited now. We're all making out our Christmas Wish List (even the cats) and I'll be e-mailing it to you very soon, so you can get started. Thanks! Can you please ask Rufuz to help with Blanca and Turbo's gifts? They are very fussy.
