Christmas Time!
The Christmas tree went up tonight! We were going to get a live tree; a ball tree that we can plant in the yard after Christmas. We did this last year, when I took the photo. But Christmas/the holidays (oh, the controversy, holidays or Christmas?) really snuck up on us this year, and we realized we only had two weeks left. So, down came the old fake tree. This is this tree's 15th Christmas - go fake tree! We worry that this might be the tree's last - Jack has thus far unplugged the lights about 3 times and pulled on a few ornaments. Luckily his Mama had the foresight to put all the old glass ornaments (or any breakable ornaments) up out of his reach. And we're not using any hooks, so here's wishing for an ER-free Christmas/holiday season.
Does anyone think that local radio is making too much of the whole holiday/Christmas thing this year? I mean, come on. If anything is attacking the spirit of the season, it's starting the Christmas shopping spree in oh, say, August. Not Walmart, the President, or whoever saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". I can think of reasons to be angry with Walmart, but this just isn't one of them.

I remember going in to Kroger November 1 and they were literally stocking the shelves with Christmas candy while they were taking down the Halloween goodies. Companies are paranoid about excluding customers so perhaps they wanted to make things more "PC" by using the term holiday. Or, perhaps it's just a big publicity stunt by these companies to get their names in the headlines. Somebody always has to stir up some sort of controversy! It's the American way. Merry Christmas! :)
