I’ll tell you sumthin…maybe it’s the latent curmudgeon in me but the day after Thanksgiving is too durn early to start shifting furniture around to make room for a much too soon Xmas tree…
Heck! I ain’t even got the new Xmas lights strung around the porch/veranda in progress yet…the new lights are new versions of the olde-fashioned, over-sized Xmas tree lights of yesteryear…they’re spozed to be cheaper to operate (yeah, like big bizness really gives a darn how much it costs real people to use their products)…also, s’pozed to be cooler…ain’t no use to wrap ‘em around my citrus trees, they don’t give off enuff heat…speaking of heat, if you have some of those ‘green-lite’ bulbs suggested by SMUD…be careful ’n keep an eye on them becuz I’ve had two of ‘em catch fire…
you’re supposed to re-cycle them in a hazardous container if they quit working but they don’t tell you what to do when they catch fire…what happens to the darn mercury then…or whatever it is they use…
Anyway, yest’day was a big fam’ly day, lots of food ’n drink ’n She who must be obeyed got up early ’n stayed up late ’n now…THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING…she wants me to move furniture, dig out the Xmas tree ’n all the darn trimmin’s, re-construct the durn thing becuz she…”is getting old ’n wants to celebrate Christmas as long as possible.”
I’m thinkin’ I might be burned out on Christmas this year before it ackshully gets started…
I guess if I c’n say Bah! ’n Humbug! ’n really mean it, I c’n, at long last, qualify for my boy scout curmudgeon badge…
Delbert Fultz would be so proud of me…..
