17 reasons why I won't go within 50 miles of the mall until Mid-March
16 smiling shoppers--and let's not talk about the others.
15 parking spaces I lost at the mall because some crazed shopper sped, ran a parking lot stop sign, narrowly missed 1 old lady carrying a bag twice her size, honked their horn and rolled into the space on two wheels before I could think about turning my turn signal on.
14 more shitty karaoke performances of Blue Christmas....
13 burnt offerings that mysteriously replaced the mince pies in the oven
12 pounds you will put on over the holidays.
10 = the number of inches of snow that are on the streets right now.
9 gifts hidden in closets
8 countries devastated by earthquake on Boxing Day morning
7 puppies threatening to knock over the Christmas tree
5 gifts you'd like to exchange
4 of the nicest people you know gathered together
3 phone calls from out-of-town family
2 more days of eating turkey leftovers.
1 word from me... Cheers.
