Christmas Story"Twas the night before Christmas--Old Santa was pissed.He cussed out the elves and threw down his list.Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.I have a good mind to scrap the whole works !

I've busted my ass for damn near a year.Instead of "Thanks Santa"--what do I hear?The old lady bitches cause I work late at night.The elves want more money--The reindeer all fightRudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.And just when I thought that things would get betterThose assholes from the IRS sent me a letter,They say I owe taxes--if that ain't damn funnyWho the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money?And the kids these days--they all are the pitsThey want the impossible--Those mean little shitsI spent a whole year making wagons and sledsAssembling dolls...Their arms, legs and headsI made a ton of you yo yo's--No request for them! ,They want computers and robots..they think--I'm IBM !Flying throughout the air...dodging the treesFalling down chimney's and skinning my kneesI'm quitting this job there's just no enjoymentI'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment.There's no Christmas this year, now you know the reason,I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season!

My little grandson, , not an aspie, said the other day that he thinks, "Jesus brings all the presents." He seems quite convinced of this, and I have not tried to deter him. Well the Bible says that, "All good gifts come from above," so I think he is on the right track. We have talked quite a bit around here about fantasy and reality, and he came up with this on his own.

I thought it was cute, he is only 5, and quite a precautious child. That means advanced. Once the doctor called my granddaughter precautious so I looked it up in the dictionary. Thought it meant bratty before.

You know, reading thru the posts, i think it's great that some our kids still believe in Santa.

I also think it's great that some of our kids WILL question and want to know and analyse.

But the nicest thing is - we all seem to have captured the spirit of the season - a time to give as well as receive. I enjoy spending time choosing things for the people i care about. We've really cut back the amount of people we buy presents for - partly thru choice and partly thru necessity and in part also the fact that in the case of a couple of folk, no matter HOW much time, money and effort and THOUGHT you put into the choosing of a present, they didn't really want what they were given (or even put a face on to look as if they wanted it!)

So we cut basck.

I can't say that we spend much more on the remaining presents, but it's nice to have the time to buy things for people i want to share with.

THe nicest present i think i've bought this year is for my frinds baby. He'll be nearly 8 months. We bought a Roo from the IDsney shp. (the baby kangaroo from winnie the pooh). It's SO soft and cuddly i couldn't resist! And i bought a liittle ornament for his room. It's piglet and roo, in an upturned umbrella - so sweet that i couldn't resist!

Oh, i'm rambling - sorry!!

I just love the whole christmas thing of being with My hubbie and kids and spending time together.

I think part of me never grew up!! Which is why 2 days after christmas, i'm taking my kids to EUro Disney for 4 nights!!!

Huh, that was precocious, not precautious. Sometimes the spell checker makes a boo boo, it didn't even give me precocious as a choice. Hmmm.

THe nicest

present i think i've bought this year is for my frinds baby. He'll be nearly 8

months. We bought a Roo from the IDsney shp. (the baby kangaroo from winnie the

pooh). It's SO soft and cuddly i couldn't resist! And i bought a liittle

********, one of ’s

favorite toys as at a year old was a Kangaroo we called Mrs. Roo., with a baby

called baby Roo. really loved her. I’m sure the baby will love your

choice…….Talking of gifts, some of the most thoughtful and

appreciated gifts to were from a friend of mine who stops at yard sales(looking for antiques). When he was especially into

dogs at 9, she gave him dog mugs from a yard sale. She has given him an antique

lantern. When she went to Italy she brought him back packets of sugar from the different restaurants(he was into different sugars and their

packaging). She also brought him bread sticks with interesting packaging. For

his birthday this year she brought him a jar of home made salsa and a hot

pepper from her garden. He really liked this, as these are things he has an

interest in. I really appreciate the effort she makes for . The gifts are

simple, inexpensive and yet so thoughtful and appreciated……..Gail

Louie just doesn't want as many gifts this year; his list is really

short. Just 3 books and a DVD. All I've asked for is a bottle of

Exclamation and a sweater. And my dh would rather die than indicate a

preference for a gift. So this year, for the first time ever, my dh

and I are able to help a child on our church's Angel Tree. It's part of

the National Prison Ministry and we're collecting gifts for the children

of prisoners in our state.

Anyway, we " chose an angel " to shop for: a 6 year old girl named

Estrella who wants a Barbie. Her name is so close to my mother's name

(God rest her soul) that I couldn't resist. And it's something we've

wanted to do for years.

So I really feel full of the Christmas spirit this year. Partly because

of that, and partly because I've been nominated to be an Elder in our

church. The Presbyterians ordain Elders with the same ceremony used to

ordain ministers, and once ordained (in January) I'll be an elder the

rest of my life. Meanwhile, my term of committment is 2 years, the

committment being to ensure that the 6:00 p.m. Saturday and 10:45 a.m.

services go smoothly. Anyway, as a part of all that I helped

decorate the church last Saturday morning. And there's nothing like

hanging garlands and decorating a Christmas tree to put you in the

Christmas spirit!

Ho ho ho, y'all!

Sorry I am late chiming in on this one. When My son turned 13 we told him

that Santa only brings presents to children 12 and under. Once you turn 13

you make a list for Mom and Dad and family to give you. This way he would

let other kids believe in Santa but not talk about what Santa was brining him.

We also talked about how Santa was the spirit of Christmas thus not saying

Santa does not exist.

When he turned 13 he asked if Santa was bring presents and we reminded him

that he was to old and Santa had all those little kids to do and We did it

now. He is 22 now and understands how it works and makes a list for us.
