Christmas shopping, huh? No, I haven't really thought about it yet much this year. I'm not much of a buy. I love Thanksgiving. I'm big on Thanksgiving. I'm not so big on Christmas. Probably because of my upbringing, every Christmas was a nightmare at my folks' home when I was young. And it seemed like every year I bring back these memories. I just wish this holiday would go away. But we do, we set up the tree and decorations, we have a Christmas dinner and all that kind of good stuff. Every year they ask me what I want, but mostly if I want something I get it myself. So I'll come up with things, well, I need new suspenders this year. That's what I want. That's exactly what I'm going to ask Santa for this year, some more suspenders. I love my suspenders. I wear them out. I need at least two or three every year. The wife, another problem is that her anniversary is on the 14th, my birthday is on the 17th and Christmas is on the 25th, right? So they kind of all blend together, you know, so that's another thing. But I have been, last year we just bought for my grandson. Everybody decided no presents for us, let's just go for our grandson and really give him a good Christmas. And we did. And well, it was a year before last and last year we had presents for everybody again and it was all right. Nobody picked up unusual things. I got a window, my wife and I got a window on a wall, draw out the window that has plates and everything. It's kind of an old window with the old glass in it. And then it has plates, old fashioned plates infused to it and stuff like that. It's heavy, like 40 pounds. But it's nice that we have it hanging up in the kitchen in the dining room and we love it to death. So that kind of thing. But anyways, back to my original thing, I've been skimping on my wife's anniversary the last couple of years. So this year I got to do something really nice for her, but I can't tell you why, because she's less than 30 feet away from me. So, I'll just have to wait until Christmas to tell you. Back to you Greg KB0MAI.
