one more sleep…
—
“adults can take a simple holiday for children and screw it up.
what began as a presentation of simple gifts to delight and surprise children around the christmas tree
has culminated in a woman unwrapping six shrimp forks from her dog, who drew her name.”

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Hilarious quote! My husband was just the other day complaining about commercialism and the oddities of Kris Kringles.

have a happy Xmas, Beth; yes gift giving on Xmas has in some instances turned into a tortuous, grandiose affair but in our little circle changes are being made: no more Kris Kringle, no more pressies for adults, a stripped down, less anxious affair 🙂
