Cheap crap everywhere, people being nasty to each other, bling and lights and noise and friggin Santa!

Must be the little girl in me. Then I think that if all of those items actually find a home, they will end up in landfills eventually. Even if they're not sold, they're headed to landfills. And then it doesn't look so pretty any more. So I'm joining you in the hole until the madness stops.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247877396600721769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-23747705509836198032011-11-22T07:46:10.410-08:002011-11-22T07:46:10.410-08:00I feel your pain.

Does anybody really want it?

I ...I keep meaning to buy a microplane for nutmeg.<br /><br />I have no idea why, but I am amazingly cheerful about Christmas. Listened to Christmas music on the way to work and spent the entire day organizing Winter Holiday books (mostly Christmas) to display at the library. Cutest little deaf girl at the school gasped with pleasure at the sight of the Angelina Ballerina Christmas book. And you are going to think poorly of me, but this morning even the holiday displays at Starbucks pleased me. <br /><br />Maybe I'm coming down with the flu.Noanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01300868872496481473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-27698395248169558672011-11-21T15:36:23.439-08:002011-11-21T15:36:23.439-08:00Well, you'll love the microplane.
