Oh Say Can You See?

     A Facebook friend posted a message yesterday
indicating, with satisfaction, that all Christmas
decorations had come down at her house.
      I am proud to say that, at dawn's early light,
Christmas lights and decorations are still there
for all to see at our place!
      I've addressed this subject before. But it bears
repeating.
      We start hearing complaints that stores are
setting up Christmas displays just about the same
time folks are buying Halloween costumes. And
yet, Christmas seems to come so very quickly then,
for some, vanishes the moment December 26th
shows up.
       Maybe it's my years. But I've come to appreciate
"the season" and the spirit that comes along with it.
And all the lights and decorations enhance that spirit
and seem to prolong it.
       We'll keep the Christmas stuff up until "Russian
Christmas" even though there's not a single Russian
to be found in our family. That's January 6th by the
way! And, who knows, maybe UPS will finally show
up with my missing Christmas by then? They'll just
have to look for our lights!
        Hope you're hanging on too and that all your
NEWS is good!
