Ha! Smart aleck dwarf...
We're eating deer tonight. One of the people at work gave me a bunch of venison (mostly burger), so I'm making Bambi Chili for dinner. Should be good. And we have that cider, too...does cider go with chili? Oh well...we'll MAKE it go with it!
It's true that all the commercialization of Christmas gets way out of hand and can be a little nauseating.
Yet I find that lots of folks seem to be in such a good mood around the holidays. I know part of this is just from the festive time of year, but I'm sure that another part is because everyone is thinking of others for a change. We're all out there trying to think of how to make our loved ones happy for Christmas. I really think that thinking of others has a tendency to lift our spirits.
