You wont be that surprised to learn I never did much present buying, and I was awful at wrapping the few presents I did buy, but still it was enjoyable once!

Another joke, one I've just heard on an old tv show starring Roger Moore, (said whilst watching young women at an airport).
"Man may have come down from the trees, but his eyes can still swing from limb to limb"!

I wondered how my grandparents were able to host Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day...all within the space of only about a month...for the entire family, including the g'kids.
How? Well, for one thing, they were considerably younger than I am! In their days of hosting the holidays, they were in their 40s, 50s, 60s. Still, though, my granddad worked at the newspaper, and the only day no paper was printed was Christmas Day. My grandmother was the head nurse at an OB hospital...now there's a 24/7/365 job!
One way or another, they still managed to host all the holidays, complete with oyster stew on New Year's Eve and big dinners the rest of the time.
