When I set out to do something I never don’t do it, so saying I had a perfect score on my Christmas list this year is like noting that the earth managed another spin yesterday.

I’ll admit I had one slight change. When going to buy a Christmas tree several weeks ago I noted that my preferred location, Krop’s Crops, did not open until 10 a.m., while nearby Meadows Farms opened at nine. The Farms got my business, because in classic Michael O’Connell Sr. fashion… I was ready. (Also in MJOC fashion was my scoffing at the tree’s price, but who wasn’t doing that this year?)

Hope you had a nice Christmas, dear reader, and I hope you got to everything on your Christmas list.
