...right this very minute. NOT!
What is wrong with these retailers? Yesterday it was October, and today there are Christmas decorations and promotions all over the place. I heard an analyst on the radio today saying that the traditional "day after Thanksgiving" shopping day would still be the busiest of the year, so why do they want to start promotions now?
As an adult, I have come to hate Christmas, but I loved it as a kid. Even though it meant fighting my way to the tree through my eight siblings, and then having my brother break my transistor radio, after which he then sold me his transistor radio for the eight dollars I got for Christmas (until Dad found out and intervened), and suffering through the post-Christmas depression because I didn't get that...whatever it was I didn't get. On top of that, my birthday is on the 12th day of Christmas (January 6), and most of the time, I got the Christmas/Birthday combo gift. Bummer.
That's why I used to put LSD in the eggnog. Not because it was right, but because I could.

You Mr. Gerhardstein make me sad. As the self proclaimed smartest boy in Catholic school I feel certain you are aware of the true meaning of Christmas. Aside from the wonderful gift of the birth of Christ, there is much joy to be found in tradition. I for one am glad you were born and the date simply doesn't matter. Finally - LSD in the eggnog is a great idea for any family gathering. Good call. So have a beer put up some sparkly lights, play a little Bing Crosby and take in the joy of a season filled with color, lights, friends, family and fun. It is all there for you - just take it.

This blog is a great vehicle to talk about what your going thru and to network with others close to you. I had another buddy who used this technique and it was very effective. I'm going to put him in touch w you. He's actually nephew by marriage to JoLynn Butler.
