Nearing that time

It occurred to me today....

There are only 47 days until Christmas!

Today I completed my stocking stuffer shopping. Not a large dent in the scheme of things, but it's usually the part that I forget until about 8PM on Christmas Eve. So, yay for me and the gazillions of other people who were out doing the same thing today.

We have a store near here that started out as a dollar store. They've branched out into higher denominations, but it's still the same sort of stuff you find in the traditional dollar store and old time 5&10 stores. I've always thought that they have the coolest stocking stuffer thingies ever. In fact, not infrequently, I'm apt to hear several months later, "I don't know where you found it, but it's the best thing you ever gave me." I just smile mysteriously and keep my sources to myself.

Well, I guess I've given it away now, haven't I?
