Past Christmas Chimes...LOL

From Sunday December 9th 2007
Oki and good morning everyone. Winter time brings with it many things here in the green mountain state. Snow, cloudy skies, tourists(plenty of them). With the holiday season right upon us, the hustle and bustle of commercialism and chaos can drive one to utter ruin. I mean honestly, have you looked right in the eyes of holiday shoppers??? It could get dangerous but look sometime, there is nothing there but stone cold pessimism....kinda scary. I purposely avoid eye contact with people around this time. When I was a kid, we were always taught not to stare but I find myself now wondering if Night of the Living Dead is in fact our reality. Maybe we hide our real human bodies around Christmas time and the zombies come out?? You better protect your brain!!!!My kids always go nuts around this time of year(no comments from the peanut gallery). They WANT everything!! Even is there is no way in hell they could even use it..they want it. Mass media blitz's on the t.v. feed their minds almost to brainwashing. HOW EVER could they survive without that cordless drill from SNAP ON!!! MOM???????.......Well I would like the drill, but putting it in the hands of my kids is something I have nightmare's about. Better hide the pug......But, within this time of tinsel and sparkle decorations, ornate creations from the minds of people like you and me, red ribbons and wrappings, candy canes and chocolate covered cherries, angry shoppers and several curse words,I try not to lose sight of something, I am so thankful for everything in my life. Everyday with my loved ones is a gift, and if I could put a ribbon around them this year, that would be all the gift I need. To my kids, my sweet one, my family(Moonpie and company), my 360 family, to you I give the gift I my love and respect always. NO, it does not have two built-in bubble levels and 420 inch-pounds of torque, it is not wrapped in the fanciest of papers and ribbons,but it will be there always, to lift you up, make you smile and make you feel the endless love the circle shares. May you all have a wonderful holiday season, give thanks for all you have, all you give and all you can give. Most of all, thank you, for all you have given to me. There is no gift I would rather receive. Remember I come with a lifetime warranty!!!!
