Second Weddings

The Leg Lamp... PIP added!

My FI and I put up the Christmas tree this morning.  Part of the ritual has become watching the movie A Christmas Story (with Peter Billingsley).  I absolutely LOVE that movie!  Anyhoo ... when the scene in which the leg lamp arrives came on, I thought of you ladies -- specifically RetreadBride -- and tales of the chili pepper lamp!  

I took that opportunity to mention to FI that this is why we should register, to avoid receiving a leg lamp (or something else just as scary!).  He actually agreed.  So there ya go, I think we're actually going to register for a few gifts.  All b/c of a cannily timed viewing of A Christmas Story.  Ha!

Happy Holidays, everyone!!  Stay safe and warm.  Cheers!

    I wonder if the therapist gives discount rates for multiple patients, all scarred by the same experience?

    I mentioned to my sister that the only reason I was registering was to avoid getting things like silver candle snuffers.  Guess what she gave me for Christmas?  Yes,  a silver candle snuffer.  My sister has a really sick sense of humor, much like my own.

    Make sure you have room in your attic by the chili pepper lamp, the leg lamp and the silver candle sniffer for the Star Trek steak knife set....

    but just think...all the wonderful re-gifting opportunities you will have....
    Anniversary
