Yea, I know, Christmas will soon be here again.  I pretty much ignore every other holiday because they come and go so quickly, but Christmas is the bomb because you can milk it out for a long, long time.  Around my house, as soon as that Thanksgiving turkey is off the table and the kitchen it cleaned up, we’re out the door and headed for the tree lot.

There’s a family that comes down from Oregon and sets up a lot a couple of miles from here.  They have beautiful Noble Fir trees shipped in.  I love those trees.  I got me some Philips multi-colored LED C6 tree lights last year and really liked them.  I was worried that they were going to be to fake looking, but they weren’t.  I was really surprised.  The colors were so intense.  The tree I got last year was a monster and 3 boxes didn’t cover it.  The new Target in my hood recently opened and they had the same ones on sale for $9 so I got 3 more boxes.  I’m ready, man.  And I promise, this year I’m getting a smaller tree.  Tall and not so fat this time. 

And speaking of Christmas, when was the last time you sat on Mrs Claus’ lap?  I think too much press is given to Santa, and Mrs Claus doesn’t get her due.  Here’s a cool site with Mrs Santa Claus costumes.  They’ve got some tips for different events that are perfect for a Mrs Claus appearance.
