Addiction admission time
Ok, I’ve held out long enough.
I have a confession to make.
I have an addiction that I can’t shake. It costs me a lot of money every year.
Well, almost every year.
I’m so ashamed.
I just bought some more of the stuff today. I have enough already, but couldn’t resist having some “extra” on hand.
Ahh … addictions to Christmas decorations can be really bad for the ol’ pocketbook, eh?

You should meet my sister and go Christmas decoration shopping. That would cure your addiction cold turkey
Sis, you have a new house! You can’t use the old decorations!
Tsk, tsk, tsk…ST, you are too old fashioned. Buying Christmas decorations went out with the “new morality” Church of the Here and Now thinking. No one buys them anymore. They steal them from neighbors! (I like Billy Graham’s definition of the “new morality.” He said, something like…”It’s just the old immorality dressed up in fancy clothes.”)
St you should wait till AFTER Christmas, the Christmas sales for decorations and such are phenomenal!!
While we are on the subject of confessions…
I DID IT! I killed JFK!
And RFK.
And Lincoln.
And JR Ewing.
And Harry.
And Elvis.
And Caeser (E tu Mwalimu?)
And the snail darter, the dodo, the passenger pigeon, and the dinosaurs. I have all of the bodies buried in the back yard. Except that some are in the freezer. One in the flower garden. All were snuffed in the library with the candlestick with the help of Miss Scarlet. I’m glad I did it! BWAHAHAHA! And I feel great! Out damned spot! Out I say!
Christmas decorations????
I thought it would be something much more serious, ST…
Like shoes or something.
Jack.
Hmmm… come to WalMart… step on my foot, walk up my back, yell at me for not having this tree-topper or that flashing series of snowflakes for your porch!
I was gonna do some stupid LOTR “precious” riff but thought better of it whilst nursing my scars from today.
Pray for me that Monday’s interview with a local car dealer gets me out of this 3rd ring of hell!!
Oh, and Merry Christmas to you all.
You share that addiction with the C.S.O. I’ve tried — Lord knows I’ve tried — to moderate her enthusiasm for glittery sparkly Christmas things for years, to no avail. I’ve even gone so far as to remind her that she’s Jewish, and it’s properly my holiday, not hers.
Nothing has worked. She fills trunk after trunk, year after year, with balls, lights, and festive hangings in all the colors of the rainbow. Too much is never enough. We simply live too close to Fortunoff’s.
We also live too close to Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Discount Shoe Warehouse, but that’s a subject for another time.

You should see the antique Christmas tree decorations I just found. They are so gorgeous. They must be atleast 60 years old maybe more. I rescued them from my sister’s barn. Been in my family since my Great Grandma. – Lorica
Anybody know which made in China outdoor strings of lights brand sold in the usual stores holds up any better than any other? Climbing trees is fun, but as you age the fall becomes too memorable!
Confessions, is it? Well, then, both the local Fred Meyer and QFC (two regional grocery chains, both owned by Kroger so what’s the diff) have, since Halloween, been displaying large chocolate bars (honkin’ great Hershey’s and slightly less massive Cadbury’s) by the doors, ten for ten bucks.
Yeah, right, I need ten chocolate bars like I need a rabid weasel stuffed down my pants (on second thought, don’t mention that to my ex, she probably agrees that’s precisely what I need).
So what did I buy today? Yep. Five caramel filled, five roasted almond, all Cadbury’s.
To make up for it, I did buy healthy stuff, like zucchini and mushrooms. Both of which are going to be awesome coated in chocolate.
