The Eve

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse... .

Well maybe at night but it was still daytime in the mall - and the crazed last-minute shoppers ( Lanky Lex amongst the lot ) were busy filling up their stockings for presents for their nearest and dearest. There always are a charming handful who wake up the morning before Christmas realizing that Santa's not dropping by on his magical reindeer-drawn sleigh and they'd have to get the gifts on their own.

So showered and dressed after work - only mildly groggy after a mistaken 3 am wake-up call, I made my way down to meet my friends as they scurried around finishing their christmas list amidst the sales on the Eve. Downed several jugs of caffeine before facing the inevitable crowd.

'Twas the day before Christmas - so you can imagine the relentless press of insane desperation. With the sound of the ringing choir bells adding to the rising panic, Lanky Lex darting about busy hunting for the last vibrating dildo in town. :)


Fortunately I had all my gifts ready and wrapped under the tree already. All ready for the unwrapping with friends and family this morning :)

A Merry Christmas to all.
