The holidays went ok I guess. Like clockwork every year around October I get very excited about the holiday season. I tell co-workers and friends how I can’t wait to decorate. Every year is the year I’m actually going to do it. Sure, I said I would the year before and didn’t… but this time it’s going to be different. Really. This time I’m going to get a tree; a small one since we have cats now. I’m going to Big Lots and buying tons of lights for the house. Really. I’m going to string them up along the windows and spell out “ho ho ho” with those letter forms I bought three years ago. I’m going to Wal-Mart and buying a santa hat and an elf hat that I I’ll wear every day, wherever I go during the season. I’ll even buy some fireworks for New Years while I’m at it. Really.

I’m going to start buying presents early so I can buy everyone I know something cool.

…

I’ll do it all next year. Really.
