Hmmmm..maybe I'll make homemade Eggnog this year?

My old neighborhood was a Christmas Tree Lane where everybody put up so many lights that it looked like Las Vegas and had electric bills to match. Quiet literally there were so many people driving through the neighborhood that it took 2 hours to make the loop. My neighbors even started selling candy and hot chocolate to the tourists. It would take me an extra 15 minutes to get home going in the back way, with a residence pass. Naturally I was the only one in the neighborhood who didn't put up lights, except for the Muslims down the street, who nobodys ever seen anyway. That is the one thing I don't miss being here.

Oh the lights go up right after Thanksgiving and start coming down the day after Christmas. Whats really odd is that the 2 weekends before Christmas is jammed packed but Christmas Eve and Christmas day it's completely dead. Go figure.

I just tend to ignore Christmas..for me Christmas is 365 days a year. I don't work..yech...if I really want something I tend to get it...like that expresso maker... All I have to do is ask Mother for it, or wait for the next check from the Trust fund.
