My Christmas fulfillment is no longer about what I get, but what I can give.
The girls all made out with a load of boodle each. Got the daughters plenty of new survival gear that they loved. Got the wife trips to the spa, a new air hockey table, and plenty of good tequila. Then there's the new stack of DVDs with their names on them.
Best of all was giving away so much free food, toys, clothing and $ to people I don't even know who need it bad. Sure is nice to be allowed to give something after getting so much myself.
No need for any ghosts in my neck of the woods, I reckon.
