Be the Change

confession

I have to admit something... I bought myself a Christmas present yesterday.



I've been wanting a Writing.com t-shirt for so long! And now that you can use gps to pay for Shop stuff, I just couldn't resist any longer!

If I get the shirt before Christmas, does that mean I have to wrap it and wait until Christmas morning to open it?


Okay, and seriously now, no more procrastinating! I have to work on the magazine today!

(Alright, just one more distraction)
Today's Classic Dave Barry:

The Christmas tree is a cherished holiday tradition that dates back five hundred years, to the early Germans. What happened was, one night right around Christmas, a bunch of early Germans were sitting around, and one of them, named Helmut, said: "I know! Let's chop down a perfectly good fir tree, drag it inside, and see if we can get it to stand up again." "Why in the world would we do THAT?" asked the other early Germans, who also happened to speak English. "It's a cherished holiday tradition!" replied Helmut. This made sense to the other Germans, because they had just invented beer.
