MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Welcome!
I have finally got my Christmas Tree up, one week before Christmas, exactly.

I finished all my Christmas shopping and wrapping yesterday.
Oddly, I found doing some traveling, over sixty miles away, really made my attitude toward Christmas Season brighter.
I went shopping to stores I have not been in , and bought some thing, in a long time. Hurray! Hurray!
It was kind of like, reliving the grand old days when I did that every year.
One surprising, though not really, is how empty, product spacing, stores like JC Pennies and Macy were. Shrug!
I shopped at the original Target in the St. Cloud area, which has two, for the first time in at least a decade and found out it is HUGE compared to the other store. D'Oh!

I will take a trip to the Twin Cities to do some shopping, WINDOW type, in the next month as my trip to the Mall of America struck some nerve that really enjoyed that, plus driving in the Twin Cities brings back good old days memories.
Some thing about going by ones self that is pleasant Whistling as you have no one but your self to please. Whistling

We are going to a casino for Christmas and celebrating with Sharon's niece next week when they return from Missy's mother-in-law's place.
Once again:
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL.

Merry Christmas, northerners! Looks like we'll be having a green Christmas here, but I'm sure we still have plenty of time to enjoy "white". Big Grin

Merry Fifth Day of Christmas.

I miss being able to turn on the radio and find multiple stations playing Christmas Music, but I did not play my own Cassettes or CDs at all this year and when I went to Barnes and Nobles to see if there were any new Christmas ones, it seems those have gone the way of 8 Track Tapes.

I greatly miss, Shopko, K-Mart and other department stores.
Did shop at Target but never thought of seeing if they still have a music section.

Was going to get up early today and drive into the Twin Cities and they may a round pit-stop stop at home but I looked at the alarm clock, it read 5:55 and thought about it.
Then I fell so sound asleep, I did not hear it go on at 7:07 .

I still have to get my one cousin a Christmas Gift, so next week I will drive into the Cities and get him a gift card from one or two meat markets in part of the cities he does not like driving into.
He gave me a watch this Christmas, but then, he got it for free from a Casino, so I will spend money for him and make him pay for being cheap. Hurray! I tip my hat to you.
