What about Christmas give you the peeves?


Last year I took my little guy to the mall to see Santa. We stood in line for about 25 minutes. No easy feat for me, or a three year old, for that manner. When we got to the head of the line, we were asked if we wanted the obligatory $14.99 digital... worth about 14 cents picture, with Santa. I declined, thank you very much. My son got to sit on Santa's lap for a whole 0.5 seconds! It seemes if you chose to get the picture, you would get enough time with Santa to achieve "girlfriend" status. I complained to the girl at the booth, who just squirmed and looked at her feet, and told her that they all had seen "Bad Santa" too many times. So...I keyed Santa's car! (just kidding)

Various artists over the years taking their hand in massacring favourite Christmas caroles.

The absolute worst is McCartney's "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time". I could "vomitus projectus", when that comes on. A close second is Springsteen's "Ya Better watch out..." The best by far is Keith Richard's, "Rockin' Rudolph"

Grumpy people and crowded malls and stores.

That everyone expects their gifts to be wrapped Can't it be enough that I bought them for you.. now you want me to wrap them...pass the scotch tape and scissors..no don't run with them...

Ummmmmm I prefer to have my gifts wrapped LOL

I guess I just love being surprised know what I mean?

No matter the size of the gift or shape I will always find a way to wrap it. I never give gifts that have not been wrapped. I guess I just love peoples reactions when they open them up.

I just got a christmas present tonight from my daughters dad. He is in Africa right now visiting his family and unfortunatly won't be here for the holidays but had one of his friends deliver the presents for his daughter, my son and I (I don't know why he got me a gift but I am not complaining LOL) The kids gifts were wrapped but not mine.

I got a water cooler...And I am glad because it will save me from buying one which I had planned on doing LOL

Now should I use it now or still wait till Christmas?
