Boycott or just tired?

Not giving gifts for Christmas is probably unconstitutional or at best, un-American but I'm not doing it. There are several reasons for this decision.

First of all, we all have too much "stuff."  Secondly, I couldn't think of a reason why we were giving gifts. After all, it's Jesus' birthday, not ours.  Thirdly, I just don't have the money this year that I have had in previous years.  I have notified all who are involved and not received any responses.  I don't know if they don't believe me, or just ignoring me. IF I do anything at all, I will donate money in their name to Habitat for Humanity, a favorite charity of mine.  It just depends on what resources present themselves.

My sister sent Wiener some small stuffed toys, which have turned out to be a big hit with the dog.  Flea and Tick are their names and they are small, stuffed, figures that she carries around in her mouth.  When the tag hangs out of her mouth, she looks "slightly" mentally challenged and is so funny to watch.

Here is a picture of Wiener bitting Flea while she is on the couch.  Her blue blankie is beside her, just in case she gets too cold.  She also has the remote close by to keep track of Animal Planet and the soaps.

Actually, Ween has fallen in love with the tree skirt, which is silky on one side and velvet on the other.  She is using this as a cover.  So, naturally, we have been unable to put it around the tree.  She also "derailed" the new train Bob purchased because it was in her way of getting to the windows in the doors that lead to the porch.  (She is really getting to be a brat.)

Joey (Edward's Dog) is coming for Christmas.  This is always a challenge as Wiener takes away his toys and food; hides the toys and eats his food.  He is part Golden Retriever and Chow and he just lets her get away with it.  Maybe I should talk with Joey about this.  After all, he is 3x her size, and outweighs her by probably at least 50 lbs.  I'll let Edward.  After all, he is Joey's father.
