SIGNS YOU'RE OVERDOING THANKSGIVING ~ Hundreds of volunteers have started to stack sandbags around you. ~ Doctor tells you your weight would be perfect for a man 17 feet tall. ~ You are responsible for a slight but measurable shift in the earth's axis. ~ You spill more food on you than the local soup kitchen dispenses. ~ Paramedics bring in the Jaws of Life to pry you out of your chair. ~ The "Gravy Boat" your wife set out was a real 12' boat! ~ The potatoes you used set off another famine in Ireland. ~ Your "Old Elvis Super-Belt" won't even go around your waist. ~ You receive a Sumo Wrestler application in your e-mail. ~ You set off 3 earthquake seismographs on your morning jog Friday. ~ Pricking your finger for cholesterol screening only yielded gravy. ~ You have five TV sets side-by-side to catch all the football games. ~ That rash on your stomach turns out to be steering wheel burn. ~ Your wife wears a life jacket at night in your waterbed. ~ Representatives from the Butterball Hall of Fame called twice. ~ You consider gluttony as your patriotic duty. ~ It looks like the left-overs are gonna last until Christmas. ~ Your arms are too short to reach the keyboard and delete this.

I think that families do scatter these days, which makes a complete family get-together something to celebrate, even if there is no special occassion. I know of several families where everyone gets together early in December, rather than at Chistmas because they were finding that as the children left home, married, had children etc they had other places to go. I think what they do is great and adds a lot of meaning to the family because they are not all rushed off their feet or feeling guilty because they should be somewhere else.

You are so right. When my children were little we stayed home on Christmas becauses it seemed crule to give them the preasants then leave home. We always went to grandma's house Christmas eve.
