[jsfg_cinti] Twas the Day After Christmas.

Merry Christmas!
Here's a Christmas story I heard recently from my minister:

'Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house, every creature was 
hurtin', even the mouse. The toys were all broken, their batteries dead; Santa 
passed out, with some ice on his head.  Wrapping and ribbons just covered the 
floor, while upstairs the family continued to snore.  And I in my T-shirt, new 
Reeboks, and jeans, I went into the kitchen and started to clean.  When out on 
the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the sink to see what was the 
matter.  Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the curtains, and 
threw up the sash.  When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a little 
white truck, with an oversized mirror.  The driver was smiling, so lively and 
grand; the patch on his jacket said "U.S. POSTMAN."  With a handful of bills, 
he grinned like a fox then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.  Bill 
after bill, after bill, they still came.  Whistling and shouting he called them 
by name: "Now Dillard's, now Wal-Mart, now Penny's and Sears, here's Meijers, 
K-mart, and Target and Lazarus.  To the tip of your limit, every store, every 
mall, now charge away - charge away - charge away all!"  He whooped and he 
whistled as he finished his work.  He filled up the box, and then turned with a 
jerk.  He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road, driving much faster 
with just half a load.  Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer, 
"Enjoy what you got.You'll be paying all year!"

Happy Holidays!
