  Counting today, there are twenty-four shopping days until Christmas. I don’t know about you, but that sort of knowledge scares the pants right off me. Which, I understand, could scare quite a few other people. Relax. It was just a metaphor.

  As hard as it is to believe, we’ve already got our Christmas lights out and I received my first Christmas present. The lights are out this early because my middle little dude, Zippy the Monkey Boy, wanted to help me put them out this year, as well as wanted to get them out long enough for him to really enjoy them. Mission accomplished.

  The present, though, that’s a little different.

  Here’s what I got.

  It’s an ornament in the shape of Robby the Robot, one of the great inventions of all time from a seminal SF movie called Forbidden Planet. It’s not something I would have ever thought to buy for myself, so that pretty much makes it the perfect gift. You might also recognize this as (basically) the robot from the TV show Lost in Space. Anyway, I got it as a birthday present so I could have something of my own to hang on the Christmas tree. I mean, you can’t go wrong when you’ve got a robot hanging on your Christmas tree, yeah?

  So, it’s time to start looking. I mean, it’s really time. You’ve got to factor in shipping and all. Time to get moving.

  The clock is ticking.

  Tick, tick, boom!

  • Spread the word, dude!
