Our Wal-mart here doesn't have Christmas out yet, but the Sam's next door to it does. It even has the Christmas trees on display. JCPenney and Macy's also has their ornaments and trees on display. I wonder how long before we start hearing Christmas music. Also, I saw my first Christmas commercial. It was the K-mart layaway commercial.

Was recently in Macy's in San Francisco and spent several hours gazing at the lovely Christmas department they had there. Bought home a few things, but wished I had more room in my suitcase.

Went to our Mall this week. It has not been decorated yet but our KMart had a few things out. What I saw looked very cheap and I won't be buying any. Not alot of gift wrap or cards out yet. Will pop into the dollar store soon and see what they have.

I just came back from TJ Maxx and they have a lovely Christmas display with a big ol Santa and reindeer and glittery cone-shape Christmas trees. Pretty serving platters, dishes and accessories.

When I went to Kohl's this past Sunday they were playing Christmas music! I was smiling the whole time, as I'm sure they were celebrating the start of the Christmas Countdown with me. :)

I was at Walmart today and there were several isles of Chrsitmas out but not all of it. The trees were up but not lit.
At work tonight at Kohls they had the garland from the ceiling up. No Christmas music at our store.

SN that sounds like fun. We have a tun of kids but not alot of houses really decorate.

Egg Nog Bread sound heavenly, Nutcracker!

Yesterday... I bought a flavored coffee creamer... in the dairy case at our supermarket. It is something like "Egg Nog Latte"!!!!! YUM!!!!!

Halloween is pretty HUGE in our neighborhood! TWO Neighborhood Block Parties.... one beginning at 4:00... and the other beginning later and going until 9:00!!!!!!!! I would say that t least 50% of the houses have SOME SORT of Halloween decorations.... by far the most popular is a few of the big "spider's web" stretchy things... and a pumpkin on the porch. But there are plenty of other kinds of decorations! (And... YOU KNOW that I put up a lot of outdoor decorations!!!)

But.... Monday orning I take down Halloween... and it is ALL Christmas!!!!!!
