Title: Winter Officially Begins Next Tuesday At 6:38 P.M.
Post by: Henry on December 16, 2010, 09:25:19 AM

Winter officially begins next Tuesday, December 21, 2010, with the Winter Solstice occurring at 6:38 PM, so for those of you who haven't finished your Christmas Shopping yet,

HO!!  HO!!  HO!!

For me I still have some Gift Cards to pick up - Hopefully TD Bank is still offering them free to its customers.  Of course I have to get my Christmas haircut.  I've been waiting for the hair on top of my head to catch up with the hair growing over my ears, but there seems to be a bad balance there.  What a shame to spend $10.50 to cut that little bit of hair.

Dear God!!  If you could only have my beard stop growing so I wouldn't have to shave - Those American Indians have got it made.

I feel like I've already had about 2-3 weeks of winter.

TD Bank cards are still free.  I purchase them for work all the time.  They make great gifts and going away gifts at work!  And they are so easy to use.

THANK YOU Henry!

12/22 is my wife's birthday.
12/21 is the shortest day of the year, we start gaining "time" on 12/22.....that is how I remember she is older than me.
