Holidaze

Have you decorated for the Christmas Holidays?

Me neither. Which is pretty much how it always is. Kandy has some of our holiday decorations up year-round. Wanna see a picture? Okay.

This is above our front door. The space is inaccessible, except via a very, very tall ladder. It actually is quite a nice little scene. This picture only shows a portion of it, I'm sorry to say.

But you get the idea, right?

It does kinda grow on you over the intervening eleven months. You hardly notice it at all. At least you don't until someone comes into our home for the first time, turns around and see our little Holiday Scene. Some are at a loss for words. Others revel in the intended light-heartedness of the display. It's interesting to see how people react. Some, probably those like me, won't even notice. We should take bets when folks come a-visiting on how one might react.

So, down come the Autumn/Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations. Out come the (okay I'll say it) Christmas decorations. And lights. And lawn displays.

'tis the season to be Jolly!
