A lot like Christmas

Day by day, we're proceeding toward Christmas. Now I know that we want to keep Christ in Christmas and the Reason for the Season, but there are still "Holiday" responsibilities that our society would like to impose on us. So the cards are getting ready, the stamps are being purchased, the gifts are being ordered, the tips are being calculated, the parties are being scheduled and so forth. I figure a little bit each day will get the job done.

Tonight we have our lawyer's bar association party which is usually a nice gathering. We have a toy drive as well so I'll purchase an unwrapped toy for that. Afterwards, I'd like to get home. There are many double booking opportunities and I'm trying to avoid those like the plague.
