I'm with you!! My kids have already talked me into getting out the blow-up Christmas decorations meant for the yard....which are now sitting squarely in our atrium. A penguin that pops out of an igloo, and Snoopy on top of his doghouse draped with Christmas lights, now adorn our household. But I don't care...I love this time of year.

Can't wait for Sirius/XM to start with the holiday music!

Well, we're getting out of Dodge for Christmas... too many family members pulling fro a dozen different directions to make it fun any more..

I plan to put up the outside decorations that include a large lighted Santa who waves, sleigh on the rooftop and livestock........... but no tree inside...too much trouble for the two of us..

I suppose it's another Christmas Cruise....... maybe just out to Catalina Island and around..

You know, like the song.."Twenty six miles across the sea...Santa Catalina is waiten' for me...la,. la, la....

The trusty terrier and I celebrate Chanukah. It's very festive and here's the breakdown. I open a Chanukah card from my parents which contains money, after which I present them with a card containing a check. Sometimes if I go all out, I will get them a gift certificate to a favorite store (a variation on a theme - basically a check to be used at that one place.) Doesn't the sentimentality bring a tear to your eye?
