With Christmas upon us....only one month, one week, and five days to go! When is it too early to start decorating? At Wal-Mart they've had things out since before Halloween, but the day after it looked like the North Pole exploded and every Wal-Mart in the country was hit by the explosion! Isn't there a holiday between Halloween and Christmas....hmmmm...OH YEA, my birthday...no that doesn't count....AAAAAAHHHHHHH Thanksgiving. Seems retail America has almost forgotten that one!
Anyway, we are going to have Christmas at our oldest sons house this year and word through the grapevine is he is already starting to decorate. I honestly believe he is one of Santa's elves just left here to spread Christmas joy. The boy would have his house decorated 12 months a year if he could! He usually has a tree in almost every (if not every) room in his house and lights galore (power company loves him). Now while our entire family loves to decorate for the holidays, J REALLY decorates. His house looks like a miniature North Pole.
Now our other son, J too, decorates also, just not quite the explosion of his brother. But J and his wife, J (I know....all these J's) do a splendid job of decorating their yard! I do love to visit my sons at Christmas, I get to visit all my old Christmas items I've given away. I will say my boys make Clark Griswold look like an amateur!!!!!
Last year we weren't really in the spirit, but this year I think I am. So the day after Thanksgiving (that holiday that seems to have been lost) I will start decorating my home!! J and I have really scaled down in the past few years, guess we are just too old to put out too much! I just hope it stays warm enough to put up the outside lights!!!
Til next time...ho ho ho,
