Well, it's official. The rush is on. Deck the halls. Send wishlists to the North Pole. Visit Santa. Complete daily shopping marathons. Attend school and church functions. Give generously. Do homework. Bake. Party all weekend. Update far flung family and friends.
It's all good. The Grinch, Rudolph and Frosty are regulars. Snowflakes are flying. Plus, Starbucks has those gingerbread lattes at the ready.
Guess what? I skipped out on decorating, shopping and baking during the Thanksgiving holiday. Instead, I opted to watch Pulp Fiction, Kick-Ass and Jungle Book 2; ride the Yak Attack and stomp spiders at Jeepers; and eat french fries at McDonald's. Funtimes with my children rule. Plus, is anyone really going to miss a few dozen cookies?
BTW, how about some controversy to sparkle the season? Here's a link to a CNN article about dueling holiday billboards at the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey. Why can't people just get long? http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/30/dueling-billboards-face-off-in-christmas-controversy/?iref=allsearch
