Hmmmm, we got chocolate at the office, I think I might go to work.

I'm ready for the holidays!    I had no shopping to do and got my cards mailed out some time ago.

"No shopping to do"?  How'd you manage that?  You've got like 16 billion people on this planet who love you.  Hell, I only got a handful of people who love me, and considered myself lucky, that I only had to buy 4 presents.  I HATE TO SHOP!!!  Used to be when I had my own family of four, and my husband's family of about 30, that he and I would go shopping on Christmas Eve night, and he knew me so well that we literally split up the list in two, and did a tag-team scenario at the checkout counters, tossing things to each other.  It was hilarious.

I bought my family members cans of pickled silk worms at the international market. It was the only thing they did not already have.

Yum!  Nothing says Merry Christmas like pickled pupae!

Paul, despite your proclivity for unbelievably unknown-of delicacies that I, and I'm sure many here have never known existed,  I must say I do love your latest avatar.

Jake couldn't have gotten any hotter (so far) than in the Santa Claus scene in Jarhead...

Edit:  Rereading back, guess it was Truman, not Paul, that started this weirdness. 

Paul, please forgive me for thinking for even a split second that "pickled pupae" turn you on.

But again, I doooooo love your avatar.

That is THE avatar, and that is the crunch. Yum.

My friends and I decided a few years ago not to exchange gifts anymore.  Usually the only gifts I get are for my parents, brothers, and sister-in-law.  However, this year we decided not to exchange.  The paretns are getting small things for stockings, so we're collecting money and giving it to them so they can go somewhere for a night out on us.

Ms Mandy, you need to be kinder to them.
And I put my address in a recent post, for Chuck (somewhere).
