Planting seeds:
What did Adam say the day before Christmas? It's Christmas, Eve.
All I really want to do is be happy and enjoy the spirit of Christmas, love and giving. But each day I read the news,
Or open “Word”. Microsoft keeps on asking me what they can do to improve my use of the Office. I don't even understand what half the features are now. I always write, just get out of the way.
What do you call a Christmas wreath made out of $100 bills? Aretha Franklins.
Anybody out there waiting for interest rates to return to zero, fagettaboutit. Economists like economizes that aren't free.

“I’m seeing things Doc!” Protested the mental patient. “Well I ain’t no optometrist, but I think that’s what’s meant to happen.” Replied the psychologist.
Netflix is hawking a special about Jamie Foxx’s rare disease. I'm sure Foxx is a really nice guy, but I think I'll skip this one. What it does prove is the incessant demand from streamers for content makes any story fair game.
I see where Linsey Vonn at 41 is coming back to the World Cup Skiing tour. Maybe she shoud start dating Tom Brady.
For Christmas, I bought my wife new beads for her abacus. It's the little things that count.
Well, there is an abacus and then there is the new Google quantum chip “Willow”: “It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years,” claimed Google, adding that “if you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years…” And here is the eerie part -- “This lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse”. It was referring to physicist David Deutsch’s theory of universes. Deutsch, a visiting professor of physics at Oxford University, posited in his seminal 1997 book “The Fabric of Reality” that there are many universes ‘parallel’ to the one around us that are detectable through quantum interference.”
Ok, ok... I don't understand it either. But this in some way is telling us that there are things we don't understand but should take on faith. Like maybe the story of Christmas.. Even if there is a Multiverse” it still doesn't explain how there can be no ending. Well, at least to tis simple mind.
Christmas will suck for kids if the parents also believe in Santa Clause
The Answer:
Santa is easy to track because he always accepts cookies.
This is the time of year when Christmas present buying begins to get serious. Soddenly everything is happening at once and etns strong dig down to find the courage to survive.
So, I'm giving myself an early gft today -- One of my favorite songs form a very good movie.
