...not! look, don't get me wrong, i'm one for bargains. i don't even really shop unless it's on the clearance rack or at the goodwill store! and i'm suuuure there are some great deals today. if i find some online i will take full advantage of them. but, to get out in the madness today? no way! i think i did it once... maybe. today is more my sister shannons type of day. i think she would enjoy the crowd of people. maybe she will pick me up something nice. :)
me...i'm content to work today. maybe i will drive around town when i get off at two and see if the madness has died down. or....maybe i will just go to the redbox and rent me a good movie! then go home and eat left over turkey and ham...mmmmmm.
man....the holiday season is fun...it goes by fast yet seems like it's here forever (does that make sense to anyone but me?). the best part of the holidays is watching the kids....that is priceless. i'm excited to watch the kids at christmas .... opening the presents...to watch them play out in the snow (yes i know, that's not real likely here in southeast mo, but i can wish)...coming in with their little cheeks all red and nose running down their chin.
my favorite christmas show is charlie browns christmas...
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about. [moves toward the center of the stage]
Linus Van Pelt: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'" [Linus picks up his blanket and walks back towards Charlie Brown]
Linus Van Pelt: That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
can you hear it? man i can hear it just like i'm watching it...i love it! how silly is that! i like rudolph...and all the other classics. but charlie brown is just great...and will live on forever!
