As I sit here enjoying one of my favorite Christmas presents...the XL box of Milk Duds from sis, a few things occur to me about this wonderful time of year. I will share them with you now.

First, Milk Duds really are best enjoyed in private. Who needs an audience when you are prying the delicious caramel chocolaty goodness off your back teeth and gums?

Second, being sick on Christmas has its advantages. You get to hang out, collect your gifts, observe enough shit to gossip about later and then spend the rest of the day in bed listening to your new audio book in peace.

and last if you give your kid a gift card to a store he doesn't like, he will sell it for 50 cents on the dollar to get a couple of burgers and a milk shake. Next year just get him the fast food gift certificates and be done with.

Life is about learning. I hope you walk away with something useful here today.

Sorry you were sick, too. I, too was sick and the life of the party. Everyone pointing and laughing at me moaning and groaning. Keep the card and sell the son.

Hope you are feeling better! I learned that kids are ungrateful bastards, and maybe I should be happy that I don't have any.
