On Christmas

The joy of my children's faces every years is perhaps one of the best perks of being a parent every year, and I really lucked out this year, I don't have any that has the tag line some assembly required, the only thing I need to do is open boxes.

The Mrs has to work 0700-1530 today, so the children woke up when they heard her putzing around this morning. I figured my time in bed would be very limited at that point, so I decided to get up. As a bonus the Mrs was able to watch the kids open their presents.

So, for now they are enjoying their gifts, and I am enjoying my coffee.

Black Friday

Surprisingly my Mrs was up early, and went out and got the first of our Christmas shopping done. She wasn't planning on going out, but was up, and decided to give it a shot. She told me that if she does this again in the future, she will definitely go out with a list.

She also told me the stores she was at were absolutely nuts. I never understood the fascination with getting up and out before 0600 to get to the stores. Yeah there maybe good sales, but the rudeness of the season seems to far outweigh the benefits.

I try to most of my shopping online, anyways. The only person I have to shop for is her.

Guess I am a scrooge.
