So, I've been thinking . . .
hahaha SHUT UP!
I've been thinking about this whole "Christmas" thing. No, not about the TRUE MEANING. I know all about that (Happy Birthday Jesus!).
More about the Santa thing....the presents....the blah blah blah.
I don't know why.
But
This year....
Well, it's really taking a toll on me.
I've been so darn grinchy and I'm all "Bah-Humbug" and stuff.
Actually, I've been ANGRY.
I'm just sick of the commercialization.
I'm tired of worrying about HOW MANY gifts the kids will be getting.
Does one kid have more than the other . . .
Did we spend more on one than the other . . .
What about grandma?
I don't wanna get her some cheap gift again.
BUT
WELL
We're always broke around the holidays.
And I know that our BROKE is not SOMEONE ELSE'S BROKE and that makes me feel guilty.
It makes me feel sad.

**UGH and I had to pause right there to CRY.**
I'm also tired of being so freaking emotional.
UGH!
Simmer down, already.
*

Anyway, my first point :
There are so many families out there that don't get ANYTHING at ALL for Christmas.
I want to do something.
BUT
It's the same thing every.single.year.
"We don't have the money."
or
"Next year, I am gonna do this and that and then some."
I'm tired of that.
Just tired.
I am making a pledge to turn this around by the time next Christmas gets here.
I want to help others.
No, I'm not gonna run out and adopt myself a "BIG MIKE" although I would really REALLY like to.
*Have you seen The Blind Side? GOT.TO.SEE.THAT.MOVIE. ahhhh!
But
I am gonna do something.
MARK MY WORDS.
NEXT
Santa
You know, that big guy in the red suit?
Ay Yi Yi...
It's getting confusing and annoying.
I mean, honestly.
I'm running out of excuses and cover-ups to tell the kids.
"Mommy, how can Santa be here, here and HERE at the same time?"
ummm...
"Mommy, I thought Santa's elves made all the toys. How come this one says TARGET?"
hmm....
"Mommy, the kid next door said Santa only brings them 2 presents."
"Why does he bring everyone else more?"
ohhhh....
and
so
on
Oh, I am not done.
The Elf on the Shelf
Yeah Yeah
Cute idea.
BUT
Try answering this one :
"Mommy, the kids next door and down the street have an elf."
"Why don't we have an elf?"
I can't just tell them the TRUTH...
Uh, momma's cheap.
Magic Snow
Reindeer Food
Reindeer Poop
Magical Elves
2 presents
8 presents
CONFUSING AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT...
One more thing:
I'm getting real tired of looking like the CHEAP-O on Christmas Eve.
Why does SANTA have to bring the GOOD stuff?
AND
Once again
I started this post with a purpose in mind.
I'm not sure if I get it now.
Maybe you will?
*Have you all see this in the stores? It's candy.
Now who on EARTH wants POOP candy?*
