A Thought for Today
Reason may not always win the argument
but it keeps the mind awake.

‘Tis The Season
It must be that time of year since every other TV commercial is recycled
just like the perennial Christmas Carols. I submit ‘Elizabeth Taylor’s
White Diamonds,’ ‘The Salad Shooter,’ various electric razors, The Clapper
& Chiopet.
With the exception of white diamonds (the real, not smelly ones) if you
receive any of the above in your stocking consider it a lump of coal.
While we’re at it, no household appliances for Mom, please – she manages
without them all year long & if she wants a Salad Shooter she’ll pick it
up on her own at an after Christmas sale.
Skip the ties for Dad and if you plan on getting him a sweater add a
couple of extra bucks and make it cashmere. As for Junior and Junior Miss,
forget the apparel (bad enough that we buy them all the wrong and
embarrassing clothes in September for ‘back to school’) and concentrate on
something pretty or cunning and impractical. By mid-January it’ll be
broken or cashed in anyway.
Join me tomorrow for a smile or two as I pass along some of recently
arrived ‘stuff’ that has no place to go but to you. Sleep warm.
