WE have no plans for shopping. The world is coming to an end. WE are broke. WE have no money. WE have no reason to celebrate Christmas since Bush and the evil rich have decimated our economy. We are heart broken that we cannot afford to buy a tree, any new decorations, any presents for our family. We are just going to make a ham sandwich and sit on the couch and watch old Christmas movies, that is if our DirectTV is not cut off for non-payment, or they don't turn off the power from our house. WE are hoping to cut a few trees for fire wood, but I don't think the 55 gallon drum will fit in my living room. Plus the smoke would probably get too us. So, I guess we will have to leave it on the porch and just go out there to warm up. It is just so horrible that Christmas is going to be so bad this year. I think we should cancel it. Then after Obama saves the world, we can just hold a big celebration.

One Christmas we were flat broke. We went looking for maybe a marked down tree. They were still more than we had. I don’t know where it come from but the lot manager brought out our tree. One dollar. It was maybe 3 feet high and looked like he cut the top off a big one. We proudly took it home and put it on a window seat. It didn’t need much lights and was beautiful. I’m sorry things are so bad for you but you have a wonderful reason to celebrate Christmas...the birth of our Savior:’) Times are tough for us here too but I ‘m also blessed. If you will freepmail your address I’ll
try to send you 20 dollars to help with whatever you need.

I have an extra (rusted through in a spot or two) 6” elbow & stovepipe. If I didn’t have so many holes in my shoes, I’d walk it over to your place for the barrel. If you can pick it up, you’re welcome to it.

We were lucky, and managed to liberate a couple of jack-o-lanterns from the neighbors, so we’ll have pumpkin pies. No crust, but at least the filling cooked in a pie pan.

Also trapped a couple of robins, which will give us a breast apiece for our Christmas dinner.

Like you, I can harly wait until January 21st and our economic salvation!

Maybe you should buy your old Christmas favorites for about $20 total on eBay, and stop wasting $50 a month on Direct TV. Then you’ll have $600 next Christmas to spend on things you value, instead of paying for Katie Couric and the rest of the MSM crap. Get book at the public library (you’re paying for it) if you need something to do during prime time. if you really can’t miss your series, wait a year, and buy the season for $20 on eBay, then sell it back for $15 when you’re done.
