And a Hippo Gnu Deer…..

So it was here finally.
The best part for me, is that I get almost an entire week off. Woo.

Hope everyone has a safe and warm holiday and eats entirely too much. It makes me feel better if it’s not just me that has jeans that don’t fit for a few days. 🙂

Just an observation on this consumerist season…..
I started plunking some things away for the little ones a few months before as items came on sale or appeared in the clearance bins. If it is a small amount on each grocery bill, it just doesn’t hurt bad in December.

As usual the gift list was what they need, and then something they wanted.
Santa brought new electric toothbrushes and toothpaste, and two little stuffed animals that were on clearance back in October. New clothes and other toy items were under the Halloween Tree yesterday……
Guess which things were most popular? Gotta hand it to the ladeez, they do appreciate the small things. Sometimes. 🙂

We can only hope that next year is better than this one was. And Spring is coming. OCCUPYeverything.
