Blah Hugbum. Before the decrepit old creep moved, the neighbor went ga ga over the outdoor Xmas lighting. Me, nuthin. Not even an Xmas tree in the house. Neighbor commented a couple times about my lack of Xmas cheer, even alluded that maybe I wasn't a..... GASP!!!! a Christian!!!! Yeah, just anuddah' mental midget. Well, one year, just to anger the brainless tumor I did put up outside lights..... three of them. Not three strings, three light bulbs, red, green and blue. The thrift store had a string of Xmas lights for $1.00 plus tax. No license fee, surprisingly. Removed all the bulbs except for three and hung it atop the porch. Three lonely lights casting their meager glow. You woulda' thunk that would appease the neighbor but.....no!!! He just glared next time he saw me. So, I removed two and left one red light glowing. The older bi-pedal primates of the herd may recall what a lone red light signified in days of yore. As for the sex part of thine essay..... no wife, no gal so that idea would require a hearty ho ho ho. And, therein, lies the answer to the one red light scenario. Ho ho ho!!!!!!!!!!! Scrooge-like, grinchish in demeanor.

It'd be fun to go again, but I suspect I'm about a decade too old to be considered cute. Some of my fondest Christmas memories are of caroling with my Girl Scout troop.

There's a reason she's now calling me the Cookie Monster. My mom would agree too, which is probably why she doesn't bake chocolate chip cookies anymore. And who says sex is free? That's assuming both parties are willing to do it for free. Why do you think Stacie made me the cookies? Stacie made 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies on Sunday and they’re gone today (Tuesday).
