Ho ho ho; it's off to Christmas Shopping I go.

Cover me; I'm going in. 

The bathroom is still filthy, but ...

... I have acquired two presents for my father[1], one for my mother, two for my SOGP, and one for my SOGP to give to me[2] [3].

[1] - my SOGP is a hero is so many ways that I just don't beat him up about finding presents.
[2] - I confess, I need something under the tree or I get pouty.
[3] - it's a treasury of Don Martin cartoons!  How could I leave it there?  I  *neeeeeeded* it.[4]
[4] - it weighs a freakin' ton.
