I decided that during the month of December, at least until Christmas, that is, all my blog posts would have a holiday theme of some type or another.In the spirit of the season, therefore, here is a litle ditty just for you, dear readers.
(to the tune of Jingle Bells)
A day or two ago,
This idea sounded fun,
I'd leave work at noon,
And get my shopping done. (all done!)
I'd be home by dinnertime
To eat, then wrap them all,
But now it's nearly nine p.m.
And I'm still at the mall.
Oh! Jingle hell! Jingle hell!
Shopping all night long!
It's no fun to be someone
In this obnoxious throng!
Jingle hell! Jingle hell!
Who knew it'd be this hard?
That's it! I quit! The rest will get
A Target gift card!
So there. Now, let's all go eat some chocolate.

We have a gift exchange at work. You get three choices. I put chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Love the bag and did you right that jingle? Such hidden talents.

Yes -- I wrote the lines, which are the abbreviated version of the stuff I muttered as I shopped. It's a fun way to keep from getting grumpy!
