Ho-Ho-Ho

Jingle bells...Batman smells...Robin laid an egg...

Ah... the "Holidays."

Got to love it...the traffic, the crowds, the spending of money, the hassle, the swearing of you'll never do this again in your lifetime, the list...
"Oh, pay homage to the list."

Christmas...the time for giving, (giving me a headache) why is it so hard to buy things for people? Why is it so hard to make everybody happy? Why is it so hard to please anybody?

What happened to the simpler times?

When kids were satisfied with a few toys...(not the whole damn department store.) Times when you gave your spouse a simple gift. Times when you had simple gatherings and simple pleasures of watching kids eyes light up on Christmas morning when they saw that Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the milk that was left out for him, and what happened to the times when you said a simple prayer of thanks to God...what happened?

Progress happened...material things happened...greed happened...
(give me, give me, give me.)

What a shame.....

Progress......got to love it....
