Should make those things illegal...

Ah, I like candles. I'd also accept some cheap wine... I'm not that fussy if the alcohol content is fairly high.

That's you sorted for Christmas then.

I've given my husband a list of what I'll accept.

I just ordered some of those little bottle shaped chocolates with booze inside and I'm SOOOO excited! I figured I'd get a pop-up telling me they don't ship to Utah but so far the order looks good.

Ooo I love them. Luckily, I have a relative who buys me a decent box every year probably because he thinks I'm a drunk.

I don't want Christmas. Sick of the whole damned thing, year after year. Can't we skip it even once?

Christmas time is here, by golly,

Disapproval would be folly,

Deck the halls with hunks of holly,

Fill the cup and don't say "when."

Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,

Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens,

Even though the prospect sickens,

Brother, here we go again.

On Christmas Day you can't get sore,

Your fellow man you must adore,

There's time to rob him all the more

The other three hundred and sixty-four.

Relations, sparing no expense'll

Send some useless old utensil,

Or a matching pen and pencil.

"Just the thing I need! How nice!"

It doesn't matter how sincere it

Is, nor how heartfelt the spirit,

Sentiment will not endear it,

What's important is the price.

Hark the Herald Tribune sings,

Advertising wondrous things.

God rest ye merry, merchants,

May you make the Yuletide pay.

Angels we have heard on high

Tell us to go out and buy!

So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,

Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle,

Driving his reindeer across the sky.

Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
