3 Days Until Christmas

To you it's about presents
About how much turkey you can eat
Getting together with family
To see what Santa will bring

To me it's about the greatest gift
That God gave upon this earth
The holidays don't feel empty
It's my main reason to rejoice


Greetings one and all on this windy dry day in South Texas. Just got through (barely) another work week and I am certainly looking forward to a 5 day weekend. That's right, I'm actually taking time off from work. Well, Monday is Christmas Eve so we're only working 1/2 a day (which I requested off) and we're closed on Tuesday and I also requested Wednesday so I won't be back until Thursday. Cool, huh?

This weekend we'll have plenty of movies out but the ones I'm really thinking of actually spending my hard earned $$ on are National Treasure and Sweeney Todd. Actually, National Treasure was trashed by the critics because of its nonsense plot but if you just want simple entertainment it was recommended and the other one was actually nominated for picture of the year even though I hear it's highly violent (since when has that stopped me). So we'll see what happens tomorrow which is movie day. I might not go at all.

TV right now totally sucks what w/the never ending Christmas specials (the same every year) and reruns there's nothing really worth watching. Now w/the writers strike not likely to end soon they'll be showing more reality show (who extended their 15 minutes?) and game shows I really don't bother right now. Next month, though they're going to be showing new episodes on cable shows (Psych, Monk, The Closer, etc) but for right now.....

Was reading the newspaper this morning and all you get is ugly news. Like the police officers who were arrested for sexual assaults and the controversy because of the girl that was left to die in the freezing weather because they thought she was already dead. Gees, the way things are going I'm afraid to be stopped by the cops or to be in an accident or somehow need the EMTS.
