And so it begins....




The Holiday Season has officially begun, even though to all retailers it began a month or more ago.    When I was growing up, the official start was always right after Thanksgiving.

Here are a couple of holiday scenes to start off the season.

What about you?  Are you ready to plan for some holiday magic?



I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  It's all about one of my favorite places to visit in southern California.

Beautiful! Here the office buildings and malls put up decorations after Remembrance Day. Parliament has decorations already up, and lights are being strung at the downtown sites, but those won't be lit up until early December.

Our town is decorated and the lights and tree will be turned on next Sunday night. Shops have already decorated their windows.

We had our Santa Claus Parade last Sunday and that marks the unofficial start to the Christmas season although some of the stores have been decorated for a while. I love your pic of the poinsettia, Sharon!
