ARE YOU GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS?

Wow, I wish I lived that close to it! (Although, then it might not be as exciting, right? ). We do this annually...we used to go to the Novi mall, but it was, after all, 'just a mall', and we didn't find the deals there that we find now. I'm all about TJ Maxx & Marshalls when I go to Great Lakes Crossing!

Yes, and the stores are so large there, that they have a nice variety. It's fun to just look around.

Oh, I know what you're talking about! That was in Sydney, Australia, wasn't it? Department store Santas have been instructed to say "Ha ha ha," because "Ho ho ho" might be offensive to women.

Political correctness run amok!

OOOPS! I was reading these posts from the bottom up, and didn't realize you'd mentioned the "Ho ho ho" thing in another post, Savannah. :shy:

Now if someone else was clueless about what I was talking about, they'll understand it, though.

Our town had the tree lighting ceremony tonight. Tomorrow is the holiday parade.

In Argentina, people puts their Chirstmas trees in their home exactly 8 December. It's a Catholic tradition. But since we also have a Lutheran branch (my brother's wife and her whole family, inluding my little nephews) we put our Chritsmas tress some days before Christmas. Between 20 and 22 December.

I am not even ready for Thanksgiving to be here already, lol.

I usually wait until Thanksgiving weekend to decorate, but last year my mom, sister and I all had our annual Christmas shopping trip that weekend, which we usually do earlier in November. So I decorated the weekend before Thanksgiving, and it was SO nice! I had everything done before my trip, and was able to think about what new decorations or ornaments I might want to get, because my house was already decorated and I knew exactly what was in my inventory. We'll be doing the same thing this year and I can't wait! I LOVE Christmas and I'm always 'ready' for it.

Last weekend I bought my first Christmas CD for this year....I found it at Greenfield Village in Detroit (it's a historical place), and it's called "Music Box Christmas". All the Christmas songs are done on that old fashioned music box player, that you often find in Christmas stores? It's so cool! Oh, and for you Josh Groban fans, he has his FIRST Christmas CD out this year!!! SO excited about that! :disco:

yeah his Christmas Cd is out! my grandma has it!:woohooo: we put up our christmas tree after Thanksgiving! my mom is already shopping for christmas! its soo kool i love CHristmas! :emot36: :xmastree: :snowball: love the smilies!

I am going shopping for my Christmas cards on Sunday, and do some other Christmas things with my husband.
