Normally, I prefer to save the Christmas decorations etc. for after Thanksgiving but after being out and about today, I am ready to hang up the lights and get in the Holiday mood! I am humming carols (off-key) and thinking I want to start buying gifts. I'm broke so I'll go with humming.

shshshhhhhhhh

It something about this year that makes waiting for christmas decorating really hard. When I saw that there were christmas shows on tv, I said screw it and started putting up my decorations.

Winter moisture below 5000 feet MSL is highly overrated.

My tree is up, my mantle is decorated with my village, my piano top has it's houses and the stockings are going up in the morning. Looks a lot like Christmas.

It's nice when you have the season of Christmas to distract you from the harshness of the elements outside on days like this. Here's hoping you won't need New Years, Valentine's Day, St. Patricks Day, and Easter to do the same. Early Xmas yes, long winter NOOOOOOOOO!!!
