Happy Things
Day 8 

Christmas shopping at the used bookstore. And the happiness of having a family where that's part of Christmas presents; especially when we can find really weird books. Like a 1960's guide to camping.

I'm not sure if the 'happy things' posts require commentary, but i couldn't resist, because i also went used-bookstore-shopping!!! And found FABULOUS GIFTIE THINGS, including a 1960's etiquette book called "I Try To Behave Myself", that contains gems like how to politely suggest to a newlywed housewife that she forgot to put out cream for the coffee ("My, black coffee has such an interesting flavor!"), and when it is inappropriate for a husband to try to seduce his wife...one example was 'after an unsuccessful shopping trip'. EPIC LOL, and used bookstores FTW and the happy!!!^^

I think I would expire in a puddle of glee if I found a book that good.
