just clicking on some links, since there's very little to do at this early hour (other than sleep). i should be finishing my holiday cards, since i do have some that will travel some miles - one to New Zealand and another to Hawaii. the other forty will get there with plenty of time to spare. Laura was talking about getting stuff out before the 11th. i think USPS only meant packages...and the slowest service, like bulk or media...in guaranteeing that the package would arrive by the 24th. 'course, Hannukah gifts might not make it before the first day on the 20th ;) what about Kwanzaa? since it's on the 26th, does that mean you have two extra days to put off sending a gift? we are some majorly procrastinatin' fools...
anyway, as i initially stated at the beginning of this post, there was some clicking to do on pages such as:
2003 Christmas Price Index (i.e., total cost of items in '12 Days of Christmas)
such things are SO important to me. really, it's refreshing to know that the cost of a partridge in a pear tree has decreased by 24.4% - yippety yay! and geez, it looks like we'll have to cut back on heating the house and other 'luxuries' if we're gonna be able to afford seven swans a swimmin'. after all, the price has risen by 66.7%, to $3500. ya know, from the looks of this month's Xcel bill, we'd be happy with seven flappin' chickens...
so the total cost of the items is nearly $17,000...up 16% from last year. tell me, would your true love really appreciate you spending that kind o' green on holiday nostalgia like that? right... lemme show ya where to shove yer lords-a-leapin.'
