We're thinking of starting a Jumper/D2 family tradiiton that is not commercial. I was thinking of doing something to help the local veterans. I know the guys and gals in the VA hospital could use some cheering up or help or what not. Maybe serving them dinner or just talking to them.

I'm not sure yet but I definitely know that I will not sucumb to the commercialization of Christmas anymore.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jump, let me know if you are going to do this and if you need or want any help.

Thanks for posting that, Lan. It made me remember that I need to recharge my cell and that Trav needs a new watch band.

But AL! If you do, you'll NEVER get a private plane.

No, apparently the guy would already have that private plane. Don't need a NEW one, a gently used private plane would be just peachy.

AL, dear... I don't think that set will accept anything "gently used".

Being someone who waited in a line at Best Buy to check out for an hour yesterday to get a DVD player and DVD's for my mother. Someone who almost beat the piss out of this smart talking little bitch of a punk on the esculator at Tri-County Mall Lazarus, for someone who spent almost an insane amount of money at Wal-Mart yesterday, and for someone who actually rolled down his window of his car and fucking tore a moron a new one for walking in front of me, I am glad to announce that I have knocked my shopping out of the way, minus Lindsay and her parents.

I have become part of the monster that is Christmas, but at the same time I have much respect for what it stands for.
