Over the winter I’ve taken a weekend part-time job in a garden center of a hardware store. Been selling a lot of snow blowers and Christmas trees as of late. I always help loading the snow blowers into the vehicles and tying down trees to the tops of cars. I get offered a lot of tips but always refuse them. I always tell them to please donate it to some needy cause that benefits children or veterans over the holidays.
(I don't want to have to pay 20% in taxes on tips to the government. :devil:)

It's not my fault if this happens.:devil:
Then I’m definitely not going to tell about my wife’s Christmas party over the weekend. I was taking to the wife of one of the workers. They are a struggling young family. She loves to read and Stephen King is her favorite novelist, but only has three of his books of her own. She has taken on a part-time job as a librarian but says all the Stephen Kings books have been stolen from it. I’m giving my wife 6 of King’s hard cover novels to give to her for either her own use or for their small library.

Opps.

When Needful Things is under those six you give away it could get you some brownie points in the Leland Gaunt fan club. But other then that maybe even Moderator would make a mark on her nice list for this one.;)

Three good deeds in a row, DiO'Bolic . The magic of the season has taken over. :yes_pig: Fear not, you're Leland Gaunt Fan Club will welcome you with open arms come the new year. Just think what 2017 might have to offer!

It's the holiday season and I'm still basking in the new grandmother afterglow so you might get a pass this time. ;)
That’s the nicest thing you’ve said to me, in like, ever. I wish they could find a way to synthesize that ‘Grandmother Afterglow’ into pill form so I can send you some later on when I inevitably get in trouble again. :)

Since I doubt it's going to be anytime soon that my daughter will be having another one and the other two children aren't likely to ever have a child, you better take advantage of it while you can. :D

A little early for DiO to come down from Mount Crumpit isn't it?
People have been putting up their trees rather early this year. A'gathering I will go. :)

I get extra reselling them already decorated.

My favorite one pinched so far this year...
