Old X-Mas 2008 TBT Old Christmas that is........ January 7th 2008 When my sons were youngsters, we would often celebrate Christmas on an alternative date so that they could enjoy a celebration on the traditional December 25th date with the other parent. My Husband and I would go out for Chinese on Christmas Day. Thus my boys are used to a non-traditional spin on the Holidays. My Older is in Georgia and My Younger is in West Virginia. So............ I took advantage of the after Christmas sales and My WallyWorld Associates Discount. I put 700 minutes on my old Tracfon with the West Virginia Number - wrapped it up in some long underwear, socks and Valentine Candy. I sent them off with my now ex-hubby who delivered them to my youngest . I sent several items to my older and his peach in Georgia. Fun Items. A Stuffed Monkey holding a blanket and a stuffed Zebra Pillow. Candles and Boxes of Flavored Popcorn. Romantic Valentine Items. (It's so cool because I actually got to send them Valentines stuff for Christmas) I sent them pretty ribbons with jungle bells. Gift Certificate to Arby's and Dairy Queen. His favorite place and her favorite place. There nothing overly expensive but things to make them smile. I picked up the boxes to mail them in at WallyWorld. One a box that used for containing Brown Bacon and the Other for Hillshire Smokies. I decided to walk the few blocks to the Post Office rather than driving. One gentleman in the post office commented that I must work out in a gym to be able to lift that box. "Actually.....I work out at WallyWorld and get for it," I cheerfully informed him. Earlier that morning, that box that contained my 's stuffed monkey and zebra actually full of bacon. The box was bulky but not heavy with the presents. If it had bacon instead of presents, I would be driving to the UPS Office versus walking to the Post Office. I aways a bit extra to get Delivery Confirmation which allows me to check the route of the packages on-line Thus Far the Presents were Acceptance COVINGTON VA 01/03/08 4:07pm Processed CHARLOTTESVILLE VA 01/03/08 9:55pm Dang! My 's presents made it to Charlottesville VA before I did. Charlottesville and Thomas Jefferson's Former Home Monticello are my Mecca. I also to visit the Hamton Inn which is the site of Sally Hemming's Final Abode. If Thomas Jefferson slept there, so can I     Abracadabra  |

It was X-Mas Eve 2011 and I was cashing at WallyWorld aka Area 1499. There were a whole bunch of customers in line. I remember checking out a Santa hat and one young man was discussing the price. My thought was, "Gee that kid reminds me of my son." Suddenly he says "Merry Christmas Mom!" He had decided to drive down from Georgia to spend the holiday with his family. Abracadabra
