Black Friday

So - it's Black Friday. The day of economic splurge and overindulgence. My plan is, and has been for years, to do not shopping at all today. I sleep in, wake up when I want to and get some coffee.
Then we contemplate decorating the trees - yes, trees - that we often put up the night before. Christmas begins for us, shortly after Thanksgiving dinner is complete.

I love the Christmas season, I really do, I just wish it didn't start BEFORE Halloween. But when I do get started on it, we go all out. 14 Christmas trees are put up in or around the house. We love to decorate and fully go crazy about the holiday. And keep in mind, I am an agnostic - but I love this season. I just don't buy into 'the reason for the season', I do believe in the 'doing good' and 'it is better to give than receive' concepts though.

So, I'm, going to throw some holiday music on and get to decorating a bit more...
