You bet. I got the wife a new wheelbarrow so she can bring more wood up to the house in one trip. Plus I got the kids a couple of new scoop shovels so they clean the chicken house out faster. I'm pretty much set.

Autie -
Do that deal where you start a blog with a better OTS question.

Started and finished.

OK, but they will complain cause I don't do pictures...I got an idea.

Don't be silly, the jugs of Free State beer might go flat before Dec 25. I just have to figure out who has been naughty. They receive the one that will make them nice.

autie, good ideas. I an too poor to have chickens, but the wheelbarrow might come in handy when going to the library.
prospector, don't you have that the wrong way around?
:-)

Irish, surely you have seen Brother Epps quote on the back of the shirts, "...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well". I hope you see my logic.
;o)

My Festivas shopping is completely done!! I ordered online mostly. The state got the taxes. Lawrence did not.

I wait til the very last minute every year because I hate christmas and all of the crap that goes along with it. Plus if I wrap gifts and put them under the tree my darling children get into them when my back is turned. Greedy little monkeys. Christmas brings out the worst in people. All of that yuletide cheer is a lie, unless it's alcohol induced. Bell ringers are annoying. Crowded stores suck. I wish my fam would get on board with festivus, too. We could decorate the pole, air the grievances. It's a great idea.

T_O_B, ever the trouble maker. I like your style .
Have not started yet. I do love Christmas though.
Irish (Leslie Swearingen) says…
prospector I was trying to decide if you want naughty people to be nice, or nice people to be naughty.
My bad.
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.

The way things are going we may just sit on the floor and sing kumb bi ya for Christmas. Whatever!

My wife does it. She is probably done.
denak (anonymous) says…
Yes, my son's birthday and Christmas are 20 days apart so I've already shopped for him.
No one else in the family mainly because no one will give me a list.

Is it December 24th already?

Mines all done except for buying the wrapping paper and wrapping them. I buy all year long as my immediate family is getting bigger. What started out as 4 kids between me and the ole man has turned into 16 now. (kids, spouses and 7 grandkids). Plus I buy for our parents. Forget the rest, too many.
