Ordeal
Christmas decorating is such an ordeal!
First a trip to Wal-Mart for decorations. Second, hanging garland on the fireplace. Then abandoning that when they all fall down. Next hang the garland outside instead, but run out. Run to Shopko to purchase more. Find out they don’t have the same stuff at Shopko. Send the wife to Shopko to return everything and then to Wal-Mart again to buy the same stuff. She returns with nothing because they’ve run out. Off again to the other Wal-Mart for the stuff. Finally hang the rest of the garland at 8pm in the dark.
