Christmas count down is on! Are you counting days or weekends left till Santa comes? My kids are getting so excited, I have to keep reminding them that we need to celebrate Thanksgiving first, lol, but they just look at me like I am speaking in a foreign language.
Luckily I started Christmas shopping this weekend. I admit that I didn't get a lot done, but usually I haven't even started my shopping by this time in years past, so I'm pretty pleased with myself right about now! I have a couple of things on my kids lists, like th ewagon my 4 year old wants and a couple of games for nintendo my daughter wants, put away on Kmart Layaway and that alone relieves some stress! Mr.Bluelight is one of my favorite reminders that Christmas time is here, kind of like seeing the Christmas Tree lots getting set up. It's funny how certain things will become like rituals to us that make each season real for us. When I see the Kmart commercials featuring Mr. Bluelight and his advice for shoppers, I know it's Christmas. Just like when I see leaves turning colors, I know football season and Thanksgiving is here. Problem is, it seems like the two holidays overlap more and more each year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are intertwined in our thoughts and in the stores. Oh well. It is a great time of the year that always passes by too quickly for me anyway. I enjoy the kids being so excited and making lists, and I enjoy seeing Mr. Bluelight giving shoppers his sage advice!
