Christmas time!

So I make a lot of excuses for not posting as much as a I should, etc. etc. Well here we go. No more excuses. I'm going to be back and correctly tend this blog!

So let's recap this past weekend.  It was Thanksgiving and Black Friday.  Thanksgiving was nice. It usually is though. I've never had a "bad one" and this year was no exception. I love my family and friends dearly and love an excuse to dress nicer than usual and eat and see them.

The more surprising occurrence this weekend was how everyone in the tri-county area decided to go out and spend spend spend. Don't get me wrong. I work in retail and people spending money is great job security for me, but this was unlike anything I've ever seen before.  I will also say that all of the displays, sales and Christmas music is certainly getting me  in the holiday spirit. Furthermore, there is even snow already.  How can you fight the Christmas spirit with all that going on? I can't wait for Christmas. Never mind that I become like a little kid about Christmas, I can't wait! The whole month of December is always the most enjoyable whirlwind of a month. It doesn't get better. Now all I need is for Rudolph to come onto TV and I'm set.

Further putting me in the holiday spirit is that I get a whole Saturday off next week (see retail jobs consuming souls in December for further explanation).  On my wonderful day off, I'm lucky enough to be going downtown to Love Park in Philadelphia to see the Christmas Village. Life is good.  Hopefully I'll have some wonderful pictures of Christmas all around to share.
