My hubby forwarded these to me... Merry Christmas everybody!
Twas the day after Christmas, and all
through the house,
Every creature was hurting, 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 Reebox and jeans,
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 Broadway's, now Penny's
and Sears
Here's Levitz's and Target's and Mervyn's - all here!
To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall,
Now charge away, charge away, charge away all!"
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!"

AND THEN THERE WAS THIS COUPLE.....
Who had been debating buying a new vehicle for weeks.
He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports car to
zip through traffic around town. He would have settled
on any ole beat up truck. But everything she liked was
way out of their price range.
" Look! " she said. "I want something that goes from
0 to 200 in just a few seconds. Nothing else will do.
Christmas is coming up, so surprise me!"
He did just that. For Christmas, he bought her a
brand-new bathroom scale.
Nobody has seen or heard from him since.
