I&#8217;m at a loss on what to buy him because I have no idea what he likes.<\/p>\n<p>Dark chocolate with almonds nuggets from Hersey&#8217;s are sinfully good.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas lights make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.<\/p>\n<p>Legos are hella-expensive. We went to the new Lego store at the mall today and I couldn&#8217;t believe the prices! They had these cute little packages of Santas, trees, and snowmen you could buy but they wanted $3 each. There&#8217;s like 20 pieces in there! I remember when my mom would buy them for $.99 at Toys R Us. Jeez, am I getting that old? And what&#8217;s up with Lego not selling little sets of figures anymore? You used to be able to get a box of 5 city workers or spacemen for $3. At the store we got two small Star Wars set for the newest fan in the family, Joe&#8217;s son. I also ordered some more stuff from the Lego site when we got home because they had some Star Wars sets for half off. Gonna save those for the boy&#8217;s birthday though since we&#8217;re done with the the Christmas shopping. But I did give in and ordered the mini Santas at $2.50 each as a stocking stuffer for the kids. I can&#8217;t help it, I love buying people gifts.<\/p>\n<p>I love the smell of Chinese food almost more than the taste.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but I plan on decorating my cubicle this year with Christmas lights and whatnot. Next year I might really set a new precedent and dress up for Halloween too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever notice how in Adam Sandler&#8217;s films the character he plays is always motherless?
