For a little while the only thing that was making it feel like the holidays was the daily run to the post office and seeing everyone in line with their Christmas packages. Then the temperature dropped and then we put our lights up. I love putting the lights up. The only snag was that we had a broken string and had to run to Target to get another. It sounds like we just ran in and ran out but no. Everyone was there it seemed. Everyone. So we left empty handed because Everyone had the same idea and the lights, they did sell out.

So on to HEB, our local grocery, which by the way stands for Harry (E) Butt, and this of course gets converted to Hairy Butt if it rolls around in my juvenile mind for too long. But good old Harry did indeed have exactly 2 strings left and we went home happy, and happier still once they were strung across the porch and lit.

Oh, how pretty! Very festive. I have avoided almost all stores but the grocery store. That and a few small local shops. I need stuff at the big stores, but can't bear to go near them until the madness is over. Like mid-January.
