holiday season begins...



this week begins the holiday hyper-speed time warp to the end of the year. if tradition holds true, it also begins a fairly lazy work week. although i technically work 3 days this week, i expect a lag in activity, at least though friday, which would be a welcome break. guess we'll see.
it seems as though there is an abundance of early spirit this year as there are several houses in my neighborhood diplaying lights, local radio stations playing christmas music 24\7, christmas shopping ads on tv, "the grinch" has already aired at least once (tbs), and we have yet to carve the thanksgiving turkey. that seems to be the trend these days, rushing the holidays in earlier and earlier. though we have the lights on our house, we won't illuminate them until friday and not until then can one freely listen to christmas music in our house without shame. so, let us enjoy the week, spend time with family, and give thanks for our blessings. after that, it's officially christmas time for me.
