Tuesday, December 4, 2012Good morning crew,
It's started. The Christmas music. And it's hard to get away from, too. I used to love Christmas music, but it has been years since I have been able to tolerate most of it.
Maybe it's things like dogs barking Jingle Bells. I don't know.
But this dislike is kindled to hatred whenever I hear Christmas music used in advertising. I feel like a part of my childhood has been hijacked. It just doesn't seem right that I should think about toiletries when I hear '
Ring Christmas Bells'.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***The day I knew my in-laws had finally accepted me:
As we pulled into their driveway, my father-in-law was on the phone. "Oh, I have to run," he told the person on the other end. "My daughter-in-law and her husband just arrived."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*I was preparing lunch for my granddaughter when the phone rang. "If you can answer one easy trivia question," a young man said, "you'll win ten free dance lessons!"
Before I could tell him I was not interested he continued, "You'll be a lucky winner if you can tell me what Alexander Graham Bell invented."
"I don't know," I replied dryly, trying to discourage him.
"What are you holding in your hand right now?" he asked excitedly.
"A bologna sandwich."
"Congratulations!" he yelled. "And for having such a great sense of humor..."
