Rob saw Santa....

Rob is away near San Jose on business. Yes, I miss him dearly when he is away. Blessing that he travels so rarely.

Any ways...

Rob telephoned me last night to inform me as he was walking through a mall near his hotel that Santa was eagerly awaiting children in the mall.

Rob however reported that there was absolutely no line. Thank goodness some people still have their feet grounded. I can't believe this, of course Rob knew this would fuel the fire (read previous post) and yes, someday I promise to move past the "rip on Christmas in November blogging.")

So friends, may all enjoy the Thanksgiving Season.

Did I mention I bought Colin a lovely Reindeer Knitted Vest for Christmas today??

Christmas Lights

Last night Rob and I were driving to take our son, Colin to grandma's house so we can attend bible study. To my dismay as we were driving we passed a house that already had on its Christmas lights.

I yelled out to Rob "They deserve a fine!"

I love the holiday season, I love the smells, the sights, the joy that people seem to have, the giving, the recieving. Its a great season, but come on people it is not even Thanksgiving.

The fall and winter seasons are so much fun. However there is a time and a place for everything. And since yesterday was November 12th, for me that is way too early for Christmas lights.

Get them out of the boxes, check the bulbs, heck, even hang them on your house, but please do us all a favor. Don't turn on your lights til the day after Thanksgiving. Let us all enjoy the Thanksgiving season before we dip into Christmas.

The best part is I yelled at Rob again about the Christmas lights as we passed them again on our way home. I think he was more scared the second time then the first.
