Wow&#33;  Decorating continues at our house - still haven&#39;t gotten to the Village but at least most of the containers are up in the dining room so once we get started it should be done in a couple of hours.  Yesterday I found a gadget in Target to hang the icicle&#39;s from the gutters and it actually worked.  Jim got the lights up in record time and said it was much easier than running up and down the ladder.<br /><br />Steve - your bird sounds like quite a character.<br /><br />Jackie - Welcome back - once you recover from your jet lag we look forward to hearing from you.  How will you manage staying put for the next few months?   LOL<br /><br />Tonia - sounds like you had a great day of shopping.   I always kid my DD that the only reason she takes me to the mall with her  is so she can use my handicapped sticker in the malls - especially now that they are so crowded.  <br /><br />Sheryl - Your family cruise sounds wonderful.   We were on the Explorer in August - terrific ship and we had a great time.   <br /><br />Jenn - did you find your &quot;sandwich board&quot; man yesterday.  What a nice thing to do.   Hope the shopping went well even if you didn&#39;t need anything.   I find that is the best time to shop.  <br /><br />Sue - Did you get your Christmas cards done yet?  Mine are still sitting her staring at me.  I always buy them so early and then put off sending them.  <br /><br />JoeyandDavid - I&#39;m sure you will be busy this weekend with your packing.   I&#39;m sure now David is sorry he didn&#39;t retire so he could go with you. <br /><br />Cheryl - hope Chris is doing OK today.  Did you finish your tree yet? <br /><br />Carmen - how are you doing?  We get nervous when we don&#39;t hear from you.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - can&#39;t wait to see pics of your new home all decorated for the holidays.  <br /><br />Ed - hope all is well with you.  <br /><br />Time to get the laundry going and start my day.  I love it that the stores are beginning to open earlier for the holidays.   I can get out, do all my shopping and be back home before the usual 10AM opening time.  All the Mom&#39;s &amp; Dad&#39;s are busy getting the little ones off to school so I more or less have the stores to myself.  <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />   At this time of year we should all take a lesson from Jenn and do something nice for those less fortunates.  <br /><br />
