Are You A Christmas Grinch?

 

1. Best advice on the subject I ever got:  YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE HAPPY!
   Relax, go ahead and hate the season—be negative if you feel it, but be polite.  This may even help you enjoy the season.

   Spend money on kids’ presents.  Cool it on adults.

   My favorite Christmas song was when the 1st graders at our Parochial school sang “Happy Birthday Dear Jesus”.

   Love to all, Guy

2. Oink, years ago I told everyone I knew, “No more Christmas gifts, no more Christmas cards.”

   Some people were shocked.  Many liked the idea.  That first year you have no idea how much less stressful it was.  I admit, I felt a bit weird but every year thereafter was WONDERFUL!

   I give cards to my parents, my son and my sister and her family.  The only gifts I give are to my son (a check.)

   Of course, now that I have a grandchild I have one extra card to get and one extra check to send.

   No muss, no fuss, NO STRESS!!!! about what they will like or not like.  What’s to NOT like about money!

3. Vilmar is right.  Except for 3-year-olds who don’t understand intangible gifts like $$$.
   His currency is SpiderMan Shit.

   Here’s my second favorite Christmas Carol.
   (Obviously, to the tune of “Winter Wonderland")

   Lacy things—wifey’s missin’,
   Didn’t ask—her permission,
   I’m wearin’ her clothes,
   Her silk pantyhose,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear.

   In the store—there’s a teddy,
   Little straps—like spaghetti,
   It holds me so tight,
   Like handcuffs at night,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear.

   In the office there’s a guy named Melvin,
   He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
   He’ll say, “Are you ready?” I’ll say, “Whoa, Man!”
   “Let’s wait until our wives are out of town!”

   Later on, if you wanna,
   We’ll dress up like Madonna,
   Put on some eyeshade,
   And join the parade,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear!

   Lacy things… missin’,
   Didn’t ask… permission,
   Wearin’ her clothes,
   Her silk pantyhose,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear,
   Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear!
