Also, don't forget to give me a shout when you find an 'ugly thong' party!<br />Enjoy the festive season.

As usual you know how to get a good laugh out of me. <br /><br />I would love to be in 80 degrees at Christmas in good old London, sitting there in a vest and shorts including several cold glasses of vino, sweating like a pig. So enjoy Mama. <br /><br />Thank God I no longer celebrate Christmas the traditional way anymore.

Most of my shopping is taken care of by one doing 1 gift: puppy chow in mason jars, etc. Yes, everyone gets the same thing, but it's much easier for me. "I Get Fat" oh yes! Apparently, people forget what real salads are during these 5 weeks.

He was home for Thanksgiving and his frat all chose names.
