"I think I will head north early." - your words not mine
"HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS! and a happy New Year to all! Farewell till next year!" - again your words not mine -
You totally sound like this other guy. He can't help help himself either and continually over stays his welcome. He, too, always says he's never coming back. So don't let the door hit you in the ars on the way out.
Thanks for sharing. Too bad so many of us could give a rats butt what gifts you have to give. I can hardly wait for Lori et al to get the many gifts they've all got coming in 2014. I love Karma more than Santa. Happy New Year and Farewell till next year!
