All I want for Christmas is.....

[RICHARD]

I wish that Christmas would go back to the way it used to be.

I get a little peeved when I start to see the commercials where you have to buy the Ultimate Driving Machine, spend three months of your salary-I mean isn't that love?-on a diamond ring or purchase that wonderful plasma TV that lets your neighbors know you have made it, as they walk by your home during their evening circuits.

I never expected a whole lot for Christmas, I got what I needed, some good family moments, friends and a bunch of smiles and memories.

I got the nice bonus at work, the white elephant swaps in the office and a pot luck where I got to eat great stuff that people brought in.

The company catered a meal for us-one day of good food-and that soured when my co-workers started to complain about it. They wanted a raise instead of a meal. The three bucks or so they spent on a meal would equal a penny raise over the whole year. Gosh where is their Christmas spirit.

When they cost-cut the meal, people complained the the company was too cheap to feed them!

I want Christmas to be kind words, Not "I don't celebrate Christmas!" or "I don't say Merry Christmas!". Can't anyone go with the flow for a few weeks?

I want Christmas to be as pain free as possible, I really hate the way you belittle the cashier, clerk or customer service person.

I want Christmas to be fun-not a gift giving game where you have to outspend the other person.

I want Christmas to be a nice meal, a nice day, a nice time-Peace on Earth, while I digest my dinner?

Maybe being short of money is a blessing in disguise?

Cook me casserole, give me a recipe. I want a hug, phone call or even an email? Tell me that you miss me, you thought about me yesterday or last week.

I don't want a great deal from Christmas.

I just want it to be Christmas again!

RICHARD,

You said it best, dude!! I wish for our newest President to keep his word on making changes and hope his 4 years in office will bring people of all origins closer together.

Our store went straight to Christmas stuff, including the Muzak. One customer complained about the music playing so we changed it. Then another customer complained saying she was actually enjoying the Christmas music. Go figure.

If I ran a store I'd tell the person, "Sorry, I can't change the music in the store. I lost the key to the room" or some such nonsense.

LOL, I'd tell them to kiss my skinny white arse of Christmas cheer!
