I'd like to teach the world to sing...

I usually don’t do much for the holidays, I mean I do go and celebrate, share time with friends and family. It has been a long time since I wanted to do those things. It is not like depression, heavens no. It is just a simple case of no motivation.

But there are some things that trigger the holiday events for me. And the first one made it first showing tonight.

Santa on a can of coke-a-cola… I started to think how far that went back… Turns out the tradition of Santa with a coke goes back to 1931… a lot of years before I was born. But it is by tradition that I drink the first can of coke with Santa on it I see. That can be a lot of trouble right there when it is someone else’s hand.

Next tradition is to find the Oreo Christmas tin container… Although it seems like a good year to by pass that tradition as I would have to eat the cookies, and well to be blunt would just make me fatter. And if I’m going to get fatter it is going to be from a better cookie than an Oreo. Don’t get me wrong the Oreo cookie is a fine cookie… but with all the baking that will be going on… I might even get me a pumpkin roll this time around, if I can motivate my wife’s cousin.

Of and I think I have found a new cookie to add to my cookie plates it is called an Alabama Cookie and I will let you know about it.

After that it will be all about the M&M dispenser looks to be green girl shopping… meh maybe I will give that up this year as well.

Maybe I will find something new to collect… or maybe I will just keep what I have and let it sit at that. Well that’s all I have tonight…
