This is too funny... <br />Christmas is kinda for kids, but we all like to get something sometimes, no matter what... Except Bills.. They suck...<br />Anyway 2 years ago my mom wrapped up a box of matches and also a stick lighter.. for yours truely. At the sametime I too was a wrapping up dryer sheets for her.. We laughed so hard at each other you had to be there..<br />Here is how it got to that.. Well I was taking all her matches when I ran out and we share the dryer. I also was borrowing the dryer sheets too. So I replaced the box with 2-boxes wrapped pretty.. She gave me matches so I would stop taking hers... I gave her dryer sheets so she would stop the complaining...<br /> Now she would borrow eggs, milk, ice cream, movies, potatoes, onions, etc..<br />I felt I was cashing in my favor with the matches..<br /> Here is my input about Christmas...<br />Christmas is suppose to be the celebration of Jesus being born, not the profits that can be made or the gift giving involved.. I love christmas, even when I was broke and had no money and I slept in my car for 2 weeks in the middle of winter.. Grant you I was 20 and very subburn and not giving an inche to call my mom for help.. Christmas is not just giving but knowing who and what kind of person you are inside.<br />So with that... I am sure I'm going to get afew Blah, Blah humbugs...<br />I have a roof over my head, food on table, a boat in the yard, a nice son, a warm fire place and a filled heart..
