What does the Christmas Season bring to mind? Trees, lights, pies, cookies, ham? How about gambling? What, isn't that what the holidays are all about?
Our neighborhood has fun activities on a daily basis for all ages, and even though they had the kids painting turkey t-shirts with washable paints (?), most of the activities are pretty cool. It does stink that most of the family activities are scheduled for Sundays, but I understand that, for most families, that is the most convenient day of the week. Well, now it is time for the adult holiday party, which would be a nice, free date for Chad and I to go to, if there was actually anything there that appealed to us. But nope, it is all about gambling and drinking. I am sure they were trying to think of something different to do instead of the typical holiday party, but it is pretty disappointing to me. Can't there be just one aspect of the party that can enjoyed by cold fish such as ourselves? We pay just as much in home owners association dues as the rest of 'em. Maybe they are trying to keep our kind out :o)
