Christmas List

I went to our neighborhood gift store last week and was surprised to learn it is time to start shopping for Christmas. Then, yesterday, as I was carpooling to the Bad News Bears' final cross country meet of the season (I am pretty sure we finished in last place), we saw a truck full of Christmas trees being delivered to some vacant lot or Home Depot, I assume. Are you shitting me? What kind of fire hazard will those trees be by December 25th?

But I don't want to be a Grinch and crush your Christmas spirit less than two weeks after Hallloween. So rather than criticize these events, I will give you my Christmas wish list. But hurry; there are only 43 shopping days left.

All I want for Christmas is a silver and black (SPURS!!!!!!!!) SmartCar, like the hundreds that I found in Germany this summer (one of which I took a picture of, as you can see below).
