5 Things I Wish I Hadn’t Heard This Christmas

January 8, 2010 · Filed Under , · 1 Comment 

Well, I’m finally back in the saddle for 2010, sailing this ship called Rather-Be-Shopping.com, helping you wade through the ocean of online coupons and shopping deals. Perhaps one too many metaphors in that sentence, sorry. I hope your Christmas was great and you enjoyed ringing in the New Year with friends and family. I look forward to helping you save some money in 2010. Please feel free to contact me just to say “Hi” or to ask for a particular coupon that you are having trouble finding or using. I look forward to hearing from you this year!

OK, I got the formalities out of the way. So anyways, as a father of 3 young kids, there were 5 things I overheard (or was told) over the Christmas break that would make any Dad cringe or perhaps just break down and cry.  Here they are in no particular order:

  • “Dad, the cat just puked under the Christmas tree!” Enough said.
  • “Why does Emma (2 years old) have Dad’s iPod?” I cringed when I heard this from the other room.
  • “Are the yams suppose to be black on top?”  If you like burnt beyond recognition marshmallows, just email me and I will give you a great yam recipe.
  • “Probably another hour or so, sir.” This is what they kept telling me as I stood in line. My wife and I actually stood in line to get fresh crab on Christmas eve for 2 1/2 hours.  The crab was delicious but not sure if I would do that again.
  • “Assembly required, honey.” My wife must have said this to me a dozen times. Also, why do toy manufacturers make it so dang hard to get the actual toy out of the package? Geez….. some of these toys are tied down with a dozen straps, levers, and cables. Enough already…when are the elves going to get a clue.

Until next time. Have a great weekend y’all!

    Oh my goodness, this is too funny! I can relate to the cat puking under the Christmas Tree. Been there, seen it. I love your posts by the way and a great site for saving too!
