Well ding dong merrily on high, it’s finally December! Easily a strong candidate for the best month of the year, what with Christmas, birthdays, World Junior Hockey, College Football, and the return of turkey! Good thing since I believe the Hart family just finished the leftovers from Thanksgiving.
However, and Nanny used to tell us this, for all the good there has to be some bad!
December means the idea of running to the mall for a quick purchase is about as realistic as the Leafs winning the Cup this year! (All jokes aside, it COULD happen!)
It’s the only time of the year when grown men get emotional over the little things; I can still see the tears in my Fathers eyes when he scored a parking spot next to the mall entrance. It truly was beautiful. It kind of sucked when Dad made us wait an hour before we went home so we could ‘enjoy the moment’ since this could very well never happen again.
It’s a trait that has been passed on to me as I still circle the parking lot 187 times knowing that a spot will eventually become available. I’m not the only one because on any given day, you can see the cars circling like vultures.
One could have a lot of fun spending the day walking between the mall doors and various cars!

Call it tacky, call it obscene, I call it genius, but would you do it?
A young New York City woman who was having trouble keeping up with skyrocketing rent says she was able to enjoy about $1,200 worth of fancy restaurant meals per month, thanks to a popular dating site.
Through an elaborate schedule of dinner dates set up on Match.com, Minerva McGonagall, 23, (isn’t she in Harry Potter?) told Business Insider she was able to eat out five nights a week and let five different men pick up the cheque.
She went from spending $500 a month eating alone, to having free meals worth $60 each night.
“Before I barely had enough money to pay for food,” said McGonagall. “After using Match.com I found I wasn’t going into debt anymore.”
After a while, she got tired of online dating and found a boyfriend.
“It was exhausting,” she said. “I needed my sleep and I was done playing the game.”
Besides, can you imagine how many doggie bags are in her fridge?
