Thanks for making me think! I am getting in the Christmas mood myself... LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it will be a Merry Christmas over here too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so waiting for Christmas but winter seems to have skipped over us. I'm sweating in November, but still hoping!!
ReplyDeleteIt will always be merry Christmas for me. What a great post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that. I know they say that like 80% (or more) celebrate Christmas so why does the minority make all the decisions? I am thankful to live in a city where the kids still do sing Christmas songs in school. They just also sing a Hanakkuh and Kwanzaa song too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that. I very early Merry Christmas to you. I am so excited for Christmas. I am already playing Christmas Music. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great poem. What I love most about Christmas is driving around with the boys to find houses with the most christmas lights. They love that! Time with my boys is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteI will always be one who will wish people a Merry Christmas! Thanks for the great poem. So In-N-Out is a hamburger fast food chain that is only in California, Arizona, Nevada not sure about other states - but anyway they are finally making their way to Utah. It is super awesome food - always fresh hamburger and they cut their potatoes for french fries as you are watching. The only things on the menu are hamburgers/cheeseburgers, fries and drinks and shakes - that's it. If you ever get out west I would definitely recommend them!
