Should have bought box cards...

4 days til Christmas.  4 days and I still have not sent Christmas cards.  Technically 3 days considering there won't be any mail being delivered on the blessed day.  So 3 days and no cards!  I realize I probably waited a bit to long to order them but come on.... they get them done in a day or so.  They shipped out a week ago.  So, where are they?  Maybe they went to someone else who just loved the looks of us so much they decided to keep the entire batch for themselves.  Then there's the possibility that I never even ordered them since I was thrown off the website 4 times while trying to create them.  I did get an email saying they saved my work and it wasn't to late to order.  That one came after the email stating they'd been shipped though.  So, I may or may not have ordered cards that may or may not be plastered all over some lonely persons living room somewhere.  
No worries people... you haven't been cut from the list.  You simply might be getting cards after your trees come down.

Fa la la la freakin la

Well Fa la la la freakin la.  Can't help but feeling slightly scroogish this year.  I've tried to consume myself with all things festive.  Bought the tree.  It's fake.  Who cares.  I like it.  It's pretty.  Real trees don't make you better.  Especially if you're just getting them out of a parking lot some where.  Come on...  If you're not going to go through the whole "becoming a man by yelling timber"  What is the point?  So there. 
Put up lights and decorations outside.  Considering I'll probably only turn them on a couple times before Christmas, really not sure why we bothered with that.  They are pretty but I can't help visioning planes coming in for a landing on my front lawn as I sit there embarrassingly bundled up for my nightly smoke.  It isn't a sight to be seen but I've grown way past the looking cool stage of my life.  Warmth before fashion model.  Who cares if I look like an eskimo gone wrong. 
A few presents have been bought.  It isn't as fun as the days of crayons and toys though.  What is Christmas without toys I ask you!!!  Depressing.  That's what it is.  Only so many electronics and clothes a person can have.  And I refuse to buy any more skinny jeans!  What is with boys these days?  How do you...umm...sit comfortably?   As for shopping... don't get me started on the mall.  Still can't figure out how every rude ass freak in the world knows when I'm going to the mall and plans their day accordingly.  Is it wrong to want to knock them down with my 20 lb. purchase from Bath and Body Works?  I don't think so.  After all, I could do much worse.
Excuse me while I go debate on whether to make cookies or just eat the dough.
