Bwahahahahaha….Dad is really going to regret putting me in charge of the Christmas shopping this year when he gets the credit card bills…

Just to be clear, we aren’t broke (I certainly am not), are about to inherit Mom’s IRA and pension fund, and as a double dipper with both a military and state pension plus social security Dad makes more per month while retired than most people can dream of making from fulltime work nowadays.

So yes I fully intend to spend several thousands of dollars on Christmas presents this year. Something big for my sisters family plus a few individual presents each, something big for my brothers family plus a few individual presents each, and something very nice for my aunt (Dad’s older sister).

I’ll deal with the fallout later, WTF, you can’t take it with you, and I’ll be more surprised than anyone if Dad makes it to next Christmas. He will come around…(at least I certainly hope so). ;)
