Musings on Christmastime

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..."


So...it is just a few days before the day where we all get together at our place, eat, drink, be merry, and exchange boxes, bags, or stockings full of stuff.


But what is the sum total effect of all this "stuff" that we exchange? Surely, those tube socks bought for little Timmy cannot truly represent the sum total of the love and affection felt for those we love, but it certainly does say something like,


"I was thinking of you and I remembered that all your socks have holes, so I bought you this bag of tube socks. Love ya!"


I'm only thinking of this so much because I have 2 days 10 hours and 49 minutes to find a Christmas gift for my husband on our first Christmas together as married couple.


...and tube socks are not the way I want to say, "Happy Holidays! Your socks have holes."


In fact, I'd like to stay away from socks altogether. But they are pretty useful...after all, who couldn't use a pair of socks?


Socks or no socks, wish me luck and happy holidays. I have a few good ideas dancing around my noggin'...


'Twas the night before Christmas


and all through the land


last-minute shoppers


complete their holiday plans


Me, I just hope I find something that rocks


and is much more useful than holiday socks!
