Alright...I admit that at one time I rivaled Emelda when it came to shoes. The big difference between her and I was that I never paid full price for any of my shoes and I actually wear them all.
I have been known to be one of those women that buy a pair of shoes AND THEN create the perfect outfit to go with them.

We had all had those holidays which stand out in our memories. It may be a fabulous memory which makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, to be compared to every future memory and be measured by it. We all have those holiday memories we'd like to forget---like the year both my Mom and my Aunt felt they had to be the one cooking the turkey and my Mom's turkey imploded. (Seriously...it became a heap of bones and the meat sort of disintegrated)
As children we had ideas about sugar plums just as much as we anticipated the tooth fairy...probably more. Later in life as we married and somehow combined families, and our family traditions changed. We created new memories together. We have had that gift we thought was going to rock someone's world which turned out to be as exciting as a flat tire.
There are those of us that prayed, pleaded, and made deals with God (or whoever else was listening) to just this one time....get that one thing or to be able to give that one great thing which would change our relationship with someone.
Of course there are also those times when we all thought "What the heck was this person thinking" when we opened a gift which astounded us. An example of this was someone close to me, her mother-in-law gave her a retractable clothesline one year, a sink hair strainer the next, and it just went even further down hill after that. (I am not kidding) And yes, we try to remember holiday seasons are about giving, not receiving....but still "What the heck!"

I read there was a real church somewhere that two men started, I believe in the UK, and these guys are possibly making fun of the actual men.
A Jedi Church! Oh dear.

Burt Prelutsky was a TV writer a long time ago. Then he aged out of it and became a crank. This wasn't one of those major loses like Steinbeck.

As I posted previously, the small independent movie theater near me was screening all of the live action and animated short film nominees this week, which I was able to catch on Wednesday.
First up were the five live action shorts:
#1 - The Saviour. This was a very funny film about a young religious missonary who makes door to door calls to try to convince people to convert.
