I have Demophobia- Fear of crowds. Doesn't that bite? I mean I like Christmas and shopping and all, but dang it I like it better on the Internet. I really have a hard time going out and being in masses of moooving crowds (inside). Saturday Mrs Smeag took me out to try and complete the annual Christmas shopping in one fell swoop, it almost worked. Some how I made it through but I have to say that think we will defiantly feel the true meaning of Christmas this year. We are jsut happy to be together and for all our blessings. I may have to consider adding Demophobia to my list of blessings, it sure keeps me from shopping more. The Mrs is a good sport about it all though and tells me it's all in my head and to get over it....I got over it as soon as we were back in the car so it worked! She's so great!

Here's a few phobia that certain people should not have:

Lets hope stuff like that never happens. Merry Christmas!
