Christmas

I think I am become a lesser fan of Christmas each year, and it shouldn't be hard to see why. Here is an excerpt from an email that my mother sent me this evening: 'This is one of those items that they keep low in stock to create a ruckus and a mess for all of us law abiding citizens who just want to lead normal lives, and not wait in long lines for (shoes), or wii's or anything else they tell us that we can't live without. Am I ranting?' Have we learned nothing 'A Charlie Brown Christmas?' This was a movie that came out over 40 years ago, and I don't think the people back then could even fathom what we go through now. After experiencing a Saturday trip to Nordstrom's, all I can say is thank God for Amazon.
