My wife and I have been in a constant battle every year over who can buy the other the most presents on the same amount of money; not an official battle, but this year I won – for the first time. Of course, I only wanted one thing, and that one thing took up just about her entire budget. That allowed me to go hog-wild this year and get the one-up on her. Next year she’ll most likely continue her reign.
We were supposed to get all manner of rain storm on Christmas Eve around midnight, 35 mph winds and 2″ of pouring rain, but we got nothing. I did keep my fingers crossed in hope that Old Man Winter would actually lend me an ear this year and give me my first ever white Christmas, but he didn’t. The temperature didn’t plummet – didn’t even get near freezing although it’s been in the twenties every morning the past two weeks – so therefore no white lawn. I think I’m going to have to move to one of the Northern states to experience that. Not the Northeast though, I’m thinking Northwest – like Montana.
Well, that being said, I hope everyone out there had a wonderful Christmas!
