The Holiday Season has officially been underway for about a month now. Most folks, I suppose, have completed their Christmas shopping. I say most because jolly ol’ Christmas procrastinator me hasn’t bought a single Christmas present yet. Before you judge take note that it is not December 21 yet. That is the day every year that I become concerned that maybe I had better get moving. My wife, on the other hand, can barely navigate the living room floor for all the stuff she’s already bought. Last night I asked her if she was done yet and she said, and I quote, “I’ll have to get everything wrapped first and then see if there is anything else I need to buy.”
My Christmas procrastinating did take its toll on finding a decent Christmas tree this year. I vowed years ago that I would never have an artificial tree. I’m not judging. Remember, judge not lest. It’s just one of those things like my vowing when I was 16 that I would never own a station wagon. And, I never have. Of course, they don’t make them anymore but I held out. So, back to the tree. When we finally decided that it was time to get one we went to several places around town and every one of them were down to the smallest, most Charlie Brown-like trees that you can imagine. We finally settled on one, saying, “well, this one’s not too bad.” After getting it home and in place we realized how wrong we were. I said to my wife, “it ain’t purdy but it ain’t fake. Not judging.
With Christmas less than a week away that means New Year’s Eve is coming up soon. That means that you don’t want to be like this jolly ol’ procrastinator and wait too long to make your reservations for our New Year’s Eve Murder Mystery, “Win, Lose or Die.” For the low, low price of only $30 per person you will enjoy some delicious hors d’ouerves, fun party favors and a sparkling cider toast to ring in 2019.
