It’s Christmas! It is my favorite time of the year. I just love the lights, the sounds, the decorated trees, the people, and the wrapped gifts. I get pleasure from the candle-lit churches’ interiors. This season just seems to put the whole world in a festive mood.
And, I must confess, I like the gifts I receive. Yet, the older I get, the less I know what I want for Christmas. After all, there is just Ann and me in the house. When we see an item we want or need, we get it.
That makes it hard for the children to buy us something that we need or want, and difficult to surprise us.
Well, Ann, kids, and grandkids, not to worry, this year I stumbled across an item I wish to receive for Christmas. You will be pleased to know, I found something I really want!
It is a man’s wristwatch. Not just any wristwatch, but one that has four dials on it. It shows hours, minutes and date. The watchband is beautiful brown leather.
It is made by a company I am not familiar with, Bvlgari. (No, that is not a typo.) You can visit this company’s web site at http://www.bulgari.com/.
Now, please do not be shocked by the prices you see. Well, on second thought, you may wish to have a defibrillator nearby. But be assured, I do not wish for the most expensive item listed within the men’s watch department. Oh no, I would not impose such a sanction upon you.
The one I want - - Bvlgari-Bvlgari -- lists for a mere $12,900. But before you gasp and suck the computer screen down your throat, I want you to know I have seen it in eBay for as low as $,6,099. That’s less than listed half-price. Moreover, it is a whole lot cheaper than other Bvlgari watches shown on their web site.
I do not think that price includes applicable taxes, shipping and handling.
I know this is a tad more than you usually spend on me. Nevertheless, I feel it is a real status symbol. I’m sure it comes with a thirty-day warranty. Just think of all the people that will be impressed to know I am wearing a wristwatch that cost almost as much as the car they are driving.
I do want to make one thing very clear, though. I do not want you calling your Uncle Gordon in Texas and asking him to go to Mexico to get this for me. I want the real thing this time. I say that because that so-called genuine Rolex he got from Mexico loses time and turns my wrist green when I perspire. Too, that gray metal wrist band gives off an eerie, green glow at night.
Remember, Santa watches (Not with a Bvlgari, I’m sure) everything you do. So, remember, it’s Bvlgari.
