I discovered several shocking things today:
1) Christmas is only 42 days away.
2) Pillows cost $12 at my local Wal-Mart.
Really?!?! Twelve bucks for a bag stuffed with polyester padding? My last pillow cost Five. It's...about that many years old too. XD That's why I decided to replace it. But that's a bit much. So I'm going on to my standby model: Wadding up a blanket.
Christmas? Man, that's always good. I've got to find gifts for people, but I'd enjoy Christmas sans gifts. It's just...well, the most wonderful time of the year. Though cliche`, words like magical and wonderful describe the scent that permeates the air this time of year.
And the smell of corporate greed...but that's a sad thing. Not what Christmas is about. Or it shouldn't be. People do seem more generous this time of year. For the most part. Everyone has met that obsessed mother trying to get her whiny child the latest toy At any cost (including decking you across the face).
But you meet people who give, if for no other reason then someone needs it. Mom's and Dad's that love their children. You can see it in their eyes. Little kids giving stuff to other little kids. Eggnog.
It's stinking amazing. It often get's overlooked thanks to the news spreading only the bad stories. But it's there; I've seen it.
