Christmas Vacation

It is that time of year again when power shoppers really shop and parties are everywhere.

Take for instance our friend Clark Griswold. He decides it is time to get a Christmas tree. He gathers his wife Ellen, daughter Audrey, and son Rusty and drives out to the country where he picks out a huge tree. Realizing too late that they didn't bring any tools to cut the tree down, they are forced to uproot it instead. And you know the rest.

I see many people out and about during Christmas that have no clue what to get who. I may be one of them. But I try and if I see a tree that looks kind of straight, then I will try to get it into the house and decorate it. But like Clark, I fumble and bumble trying to make the tree look good.

Of course I fail in all of that but the main thing is, the family is still behind me all the way.
