Dear Santa - For Christmas this year I'd like to solve all the world's problems. I realize this request is unreasonable, so I'm willing to settle for a live-in maid instead.
***Glitter*** -- I love the look of it this time of year, but I don't want to touch it, and I most certainly don't want it to touch me. Nothing worse than finding stray glitter on your face. Note to self - no matter what, do not, I repeat, DO NOT purchase the pretty box of glitter accented xmas cards next year! (what in the world was I thinking?)
More vehicles decorated for Christmas please.
Has anyone noticed recently how some of the "bell ringers" seem to be a little more questionable looking? Maybe it's just me. Don't get me wrong - I always drop a little something in the bucket, and I've volunteered to do it a few times so I know it's not fun to stand out in the cold freezing your butt off for hours ringing that bell until your arms are numb, gagging on exhaust fumes and smiling at grouchy shoppers who refuse to smile back. Okay, now I feel guilty - never mind.
I don't mind homeowners who decorate their houses and yards with enough Christmas lights to land a plane, but someone must put an end to people's obsessions with filling their yards full of giant tacky blow-up plastic Christmas things.
Does a big red surprise blemish on the tip of my nose count as festive Christmas attire?
Here's wishing everyone a Blessed and Merry Christmas!

LOL, adorable post to read - Merry Xmas
ReplyDeleteDearest Patricia,
ReplyDeleteAMEN to this one, I'm all the way with you.
Guess that right after Christmas is also the worst Landfill day in the USA and many other countries as well... A sad fact.
Enjoy your final time reaching the FINALE.

Why can't people be happy with just a beautiful wreath on the front door for outside decorations?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year!
I LOATHE glitter and the endless places in the house and on your body that it manages to land. Can't seem to find any Christmas items - not matter what they are - that doesn't have it! Oh well...Merry Christmas!!

Love your post today, Patricia. Happiest holiday wishes to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I totally agee on the blow up decorations. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIn the mountains where we live we see a lot of vehicles (mostly trucks and SUV's) with wreaths on the hood grill. I just love how special it looks.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very merry Christmas filled with wonderful food, family and friends. Happy holidays to you and your family.

I'm with ya! Right down to the surprise blemish! I wonder if you live near me, 'cause the bell ringers this year are sitting inside the door to the grocery store and not even ringing the bell - looking so bored! And I also hate those blow-up decorations! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha... I agree with everything you said. Thanks for another great post and wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a special merry Christmas...buon Natale, Flavia

ReplyDeleteSorry... I just realized I had a typo... so I deleted the other comment.
ReplyDeleteOkay so I am on the floor laughing at this moment! You can always bring a smile to my face! I won't tell you that we put one of those blow up things in our yard this year... it was so white trash... but Josh felt like it was a "funny" (or something like that anyway)to put it up since my soon to be "x" left it in the garage when he left last April. Blow ups were the x's way of decorating! You can see our Santa on his Harley on my personal blog. I have to admit... I love glitter on cards... see when you got it on your face... it just showed your "sparking" personality... hence me still being on the floor. Happy New Year to you too friend!
