Is it going to make it all the way down to 60?Good morning from the far side of the Earth! Weather's nice, but I hear that the nastiness of this year's winter may be invading us soon - cold front from Japan pushing south toward us.
We don't do so much of the present-giving any more. My sister who lives in New Orleans and I always try to plan a get-together with our Daddy. We've discovered that renting cabins in one of our State parks is the perfect way to do it. We do a lot of mundane things together - cooking, eating, playing board games, going to the playground with the littler kids - it's just a lot of talking and visiting among each other. It's a lot of fun (tame fun to be sure) but low-key and best of all inexpensive. We stayed at a park at Sardis Lake in north Miss. this past weekend. It was COLD but we had a splendid time.Sadly, I've felt scroogish for about 10 days now. I really hate the materialism of the holiday, I wish it were more like Thanksgiving, i.e. it's focussed more on the meaning of the actual holiday than giving presents. I think we've all been duped/marketed by corporate America to believe that we're grinches/scrooges if we don't kill ourselves to find perfect gifts for Christmas and spend a bunch of money in the process.
