It's Time




Thanksgiving's over! Can you tell?

Krissy and Athena wasted no time putting up the Christmas decorations around here, over my mild objections; I believe that one should wait until December at the very least before spoltzing the holiday joy about, but both Athena and Krissy are pretty much of the opinion that there is no November after Thanksgiving anyway; the day after Thanksgiving wasn't November 25th, it was December -5th. Today is December -2nd, you see. All I know is that there are Christmas tree all over the house -- three of various sizes -- and Krissy located the holiday music channel on the Satellite music service and now it's sruck there through the 31st of December. I suppose there are worse things.

And you? Is your house now filled with Christmas/holiday decorations? Or are you planning to show some restraint until it's actually, you know, December?

    The outside was completely decorated on Thanksgiving. The inside is pretty much done except for a tree. I'm waiting until December and I'll put the tree up. Thanks for asking! : )

    At least your family waits until after Thanksgiving to start pulling out the Christmas decorations.

    In my house we have several  Christmas trees that stay up year around, and santas and angels that the walls 365 days a year.

        Hi, my name is Grinch. Can you say Christmas sucks? Okay so I'm not as bad as I used to be. Christmas will begin in my house about a week prior to the actual day just because I buy real trees. Until that time, I have other related happenings related to the Christmas season that I am working on.
