I know exactly what I want to get Bill for Christmas. The problem is, it doesn’t seem to exist. There are three qualities I’m looking for in this item, and the best I can do is two out of three.

grrr…

On a funnier note, here’s a video clip Bill sent me a few weeks ago called The Sweater. It’s the memories of a French Canadian who grew up loving hockey, but especially loving Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens. His Maurice Richard hockey sweater is too small and is confiscated by his mother. She orders him another one by writing a letter to a mail order company asking for a Canadian hockey sweater for her son. It arrives some time later – but the company picks a sweater for the Toronto Maple Leafs instead and his mother refuses to return it! The video is long, but worth it, especially at this time of year with perfect gift giving on our minds.

Well, maybe it’s not so good, since the boy becomes the laughing stock of the town for wearing the wrong jersey. Just add a little stress to your life: if the gift isn’t right, your dear loved one will be scarred for life!

Bill added a Maurice Richard jersey to the Christmas wish list. He’s so picky: it’s got to be the right size, the right fabric, the right team. Honey, the best I can do is two out of three…
