Christmas time's a-comin'...

So, how are you doing on your Christmas shopping?

Well, I'm not doing too badly. Still have a few little things to pick up, which I hope to do today or tomorrow. I'm bound and determined to make this as painless as possible.

Sad it's come to that, isn't it? I really do enjoy giving more than receiving, but I hate waiting in lines. And you can forget seeing me at the mall.

I guess my favorite part is getting to spend time with family and friends. This year, my wife and I will spend our first Christmas together as a married couple. That will be fun.

However you spend the holidays, I hope they are extra warm and bright this year.
