It sucks.

Prove me wrong.

Fish on...

I was managing a bank branch in Bellingham for a nice regional bank that is "no more". Literally 8 feet from my desk, this was a branch inside a grocery store, stood a bell ringer. Imagine a bell ringing for 10 hours a day, for almost a month. I lived for the times when the bell stopped ringing as the ringer talked with someone, and then it started again, and my shoulders tensed up.

My second year there I called Salvation Army. I told them of my situation, and of my support for Salvation Army every year, but I just couldn't handle another month. They came in, looked at the situation, and they gave the ringer a silent bell. I dropped a $20 in the pot right then.

I love the basic idea of the holidays, but I could do without the cacophony of sounds associated with them.

I'd make a good Scrooge.

I don't mind watching her sing Christmas music.

Some REAL Christmas music!

Snoops 12 days of Christmas

A silent bell. Classic.

Second best $20 I ever spent. You try working 60 hours a week with a bell ringing. Worse than water torture.

Awsume story behind this one:




Fish Prints story of his mom at Christmas reminded me of this one.

Here is my latest favorite. .. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od7GUy9XS7c



Kinda sums it up on days like today. . ... . . .

Rocket Red, you wanted proof. Here's proof! 120 proof in your favorite hot buttered rum recipe. Then you put on Elvis' Christmas Album, the number one all time holiday album. With 13,000,000 sold, hopefully you have a copy. Sandwiched in between sides, you'll need a recording of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." While that's playing, you can make another hot buttered rum and not miss a single cut off the Elvis' Album. Merry Christmas!
