7. We also have the non-Turkeyday meal hangover advantage!
We're more alert and not weighed down by stuffing and pie! Don't forget your shoulderpads, and make sure your jersey's fight straps are secure.

13. We should all take our carts and meet in the aisle for a conference.
I'll bring the cell phones. You bring the pitbulls. Someone else can bring the children and booze.

4. It's going to be a lean Christmas in the Droopy household this year
I'm getting everybody canned soup and crackers. I've decided once and for all that I'm going to be debt free, so I'm not breaking out the plastic this year. Debt free is my ultimate gift to myself. I guess that's kind of selfish considering the time of year, but what the hell, I bet Jesus doesn't mind.

5. Have we officially declared war on Christmas for this year?
Seems like we better get moving. Thanksgiving is around the corner.

6. For me this means only 50 more crocheting days until Christmas
I don't buy much. One really good present and a few stocking stuffers for my son. For my folks, and for my bosses I donate money in their names to the local food banks.

I'm making two blankets.

There will be several batches of peanut butter fudge for the people with whom I work.

I will probably be cooking Christmas dinner (usually quite elaborate) for some of the other people in my family.

That's about it.

11. I thought you vegans were against Christmas?
People overtaking a stable/manger and forcing animals out into the cold, December Bethlehemy night?

:shrug:

12. I can't get too wound up about exploitation of fictional animals. And I like presents.
What did you get me? :bounce:
