mooseEvery year seems to go by faster than the last. This year is no exception. It even feels like Xmas is about to come and go without a drop of holiday cheer. All I see lately are adverts for this or that, buy this, this and more of this and while you are at it, give a hoot too! I say “slow down.” Let’s take some time and smell the ginger bread for Santa sake. …and what’s with this 50 degree crap. Can a guy get a white Christmas for once in a millennium? The best holiday memories are the ones where the family is snuggled (no snuggie needed) up in front of a fire with some ugly sweaters, stop motion Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and some loaded eggnog. Come on people, we can do this. A little snow, some blinky lights and maybe a few “pine” scented candles and this might just feel like a holiday.

*maybe if I put up my Christmas tree it would help, You think?
