I'd get all my groceries delivered too if it wasn't for the high shipping fees and the fact that perishables can't be shipped here.<br /><br />I have grandchildren now. Two so far with two more on the way. And two kids under my roof to still buy for.

I always felt so odd hearing The Little Drummer Boy immediately after Halloween.<br /><br />E. Ayers, I've had the same problem a few times. It certainly does seem like one must buy things two months ahead of time to make sure there's enough.Faith Bicknellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978240749619858463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-89066024225462377152011-10-26T12:42:55.804-07:002011-10-26T12:42:55.804-07:00I almost died laughing over the milkman's daug...I almost died laughing over the milkman's daughter. My mom's best friend's children all belonged to the milkman. Yes, they had a dairy farm and he delivered the milk. <br /><br />Now as for Christmas - OMG! Last year I needed something for the big Thanksgiving bash and I figured I could run out and get a few decorative items. Nope! Everything was Christmas. I couldn't find a yellow or orange napkin much less a few silk mums. Seems I must buy them in August because by the end of August everything is switching to Christmas. I understand Christmas has caught on in China too.E.

I don't want to hear Christmas songs, or see Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving. A few years ago I stopped listening to my favorite radio station because they started playing Christmas songs on November 1 - seriously! And, any radio station that plays Christmas songs before Thanksgiving goes on my list. I'm not a Scrooge - I love Christmas, but I also like Thanksgiving, Halloween, Veteran's Day, etc. Just one at a time, please!Denise Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134480528920517406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-22874884797461970272011-10-26T11:45:47.862-07:002011-10-26T11:45:47.862-07:00Amen!
