December has an entirely new meaning now that we have to choose our healthcare each year as we celebrate the holidays. And if we have maxed out our deductible during the prior eleven months, we try to squeeze in all the procedures possible which insurance will pay for. It just doesn’t seem right – making health decisions based on the end-of-the-year or what you can get “for free” since you got a new hip. However, that is what December brings for our household.
It also seems to be the month for arguing the price increases in the cable, newspaper, Sirius radio and cell phones. It’s a good thing my spouse retired so that he can hone his investigative research skills, as well as work out his ire on unsuspecting customer service personnel. He is a formidable opponent against anyone in sales or marketing.
Just spreading the joy and love this month!
