I won't! I already sent her birthday gift home w/ mom BEFORE thanksgiving. GEESH! :) no worries. Thanksgiving was a week earlier last year... thus giving the appearance of more time to shop! Christmas is just rollin' up sooner because of that is all. No worries. I am soo excited about Mark and Niki's wedding, tell them both congrats from me and D and give a hug and kiss to the bride and groom for me! These are indeed some happy times!

In case you've NEVER heard this Christmas Carol... I thought I'd teach it to you. We NEVER hear it here. (Just kidding, we hear it EVERYWHERE we go... in the car on the way to work, AND on the way home, AND out shopping... EVERYWHERE. Not one day has gone by since The Great Turkey that Derek and I have not heard this song... it is now a bit of a joke!)

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
