Yay for Christmas!

I realize we have yet to slice the Thanksgiving turkey, but come on, it's basically Christmas already. That means it's time for PRESENTS!! Yes, presents. I'm just picturing new sweaters and shoes and gadgets and... did I write all that? What I meant was it's time for family and friends and being together and PRESENTS!! Whatever. Everyone likes getting presents.

Anyway, can we come up with a creative gift exchange between the three of us? I was thinking we could put a dollar limit on gifts and then figure out some fun way to buy presents. Maybe we pick a theme or it has to be from a certain store or fall into a certain category. I don't know. I was hoping you guys could think of something.

Substitute

As Brant and I were enjoying a meal at El Porton in Cordova, we were lucky enough to witness an exchange between another customer and a waiter. A family sat down at the table next to us and began to order their drinks. Here is how the exchange between the son and the waiter went...

Son: "Do you have root beer?"

Waiter: "No, we do have Dr. Pepper."

And that's it. Brant and I almost died laughing. We were exhausted from the weekend so I'm sure that helped make it more funny. Still, Dr. Pepper is not a substitute for root beer. The waiter may as well have offered cheese dip as a substitute.
