Much like when I wrote my anti-Elf on the Shelf post, when I posted today’s anti-leprechaun post that was written a couple years ago, I annoyed a few people. And maybe all you pro-trappers are right. Maybe I’m a killjoy. Maybe I’m a (Mc)Scrooge. Maybe I’m cranky tonight. I am a little bit. I’ve had […]

Don’t be a dick. At least until the 26th.

Yesterday we went to see this really cool Christmas display with the kids. And it was located on this side street and parking was kind of crazy. Really crazy. Cutthroat, even. It made getting a spot in the Costco parking lot in December seem like fun. And as my family was walking back to the car, the spot […]
