Gotta go...only 75% of my shopping list remains (still plenty of time, though)...
Too funny, WHE!!! Good luck!! Don't get trampled by all those other procrastinators out there!!!
Of course, I'm here trying to get my house looking festive before the jolly old fat man (not Pappy!) shows up!!! ♥♥♥

| Mawnin' all. I shorely do hate I missed them luminaries an' other festivities. Pappy an' Mammy was wore out from shoppin' an' runnin' around. The trip in town weren't so bad, but the wagon was a mite heavier on the trip back an' the mule was already tired from dodgin' cars by then.

UPDATE:
My ambitious shopping plans for Saturday crashed and burned as the sad reality of plans gone awry surely ratcheted up the pressure a notch. Not too surprisingly, my finely-tuned plans were doused as I quickly found out that a particular unnamed spouse had OTHER plans for this super-energized gift-seeking missile. Dressed in my official uniform (jeans & tennis shoes) for maximizing the retail blitz, as I dashed for the door, a voice from behind informed me of needed last minute wrapping assistance upstairs.
Ok, I thought, a thirty-minute delay is acceptable, then I will be on my way. Well.....FORGET THAT! Once I saw the stack of unwrapped gifts, I quickly realized that I was to be imprisoned by Scotch tape and brightly-colored wrapping paper for an undetermined time...perhaps, forever. Head down (in the sulking position), I dragged myself upstairs to the wrapping prison. There, I began planning my escape from certain death as a result of unintentional gift abstinence. I can see the NWO headlines now...GUILTY! HANG THE BUM!
Perhaps this last minute shopping strategy has a flaw...who would have thunk it?

WHE! That story ranked up there with a bama, Jim or even a Pappy story!!!
You really gotta come back more often! Besides, I'm dyin' to know if you ever got out to the stores or if "a certain unnamed spouse" is gonna end up cookin' your goose because there's nuthin' under the tree for himmer!!!
Of course you could consider the Autumnal Equinox as an alternative starting date to that Winter Solstice idea....
Ok. ya'll. I'm off to begin the feasting or wassailing or whatever. I'll try to waddle back on here tomorrow!
Don't forget the cookies and Milk for Santa!!!!!

One beautiful December evening Pedro and his girlfriend Rosita were sitting by the side of the ocean. It was a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu."
Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.
Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu together.
I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged.
"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the
moon." replied Rosita
"Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me."
Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."
So Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....
"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,
Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Y FELIZ NAVIDAD TAMBIEN
