Merry Christmas!!!

I got to Deb's about noon and their house looked like a cyclone had gone through the family room. Wrapping paper, boxes, toys and clothes everywhere. Not unlike any other house that has kids, I'm sure.

They opened their gifts from me and seemed appropriately thrilled, which doesn't always happen, with my choices this year. I don't think anything is being returned!!!

Then I went to my dad's and gave him his presents, which didn't even elicit a thank you. But that is normal for him. After about an hour my sister, etc. arrived to connect his major present from his kids--a 26" LCD TV. He started complaining immediately that it was going to cost him too much money?????? Go figure, since we are giving it to him. Then Vicki went through the channels for him showing him the advantages of having a new set. He proceeded to curse, yell and was nearly crying because he said it wasn't getting the channels he was used to watching. It was just a new set, for God's sake, not new service, but he wouldn't calm down enough to check it out. (I am really dreading getting older.)

Long story short, Vicki said s--t on it and reconnected his old set, packed up the new one and took it to her house and she now has a new 26" LCD TV in her living room.

The man is impossible!!! Bah Humbug!!! I can't figure out why we keep trying to be nice to him???

I went to Vicki's for the night, we played some games and I sacked out in her basement for the night. Friday morning Paul left early to go deer hunting (he already shot 1 deer, but wanted to try for another) and he succeeded in bagging another doe. Larry helped him drag it out of the woods and they hung it in the shed to skin it. Yes, I watched, freezing my butt off, till I decided to hit the road for my own little world again.

Another Merry Christmas gone by.....................wonder what next year will bring???
