A trip to Big Lots and a disbursement of $22.50 (ALL XMAS DECORATIONS HALF PRICE) brought us a friendly deer family: two does and a fawn (the stag was off rutting, I believe). One of the does swivels its head. They are just awesome. Cars slow to a crawl as they pass. Traveling around looking at lights on Christmas Eve used to be a family tradition. That is, until two years ago, when Jonas would not even look out the car window. Think what he missed. Stubborn young man. Holy mackerel. On the other hand, I am cheered that the banner of The Grinch will be raised high long after Papa is gone. Season's Greetings, everyone.
You did it!! And Big Al's came through. :). Oh, boy. Zanny is going to be mortified. I can't wait to hear the neighbors' comments this weekend. Promises to be interesting. "He actually shops at Big Al's!?"
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to doing a lights drive the eve before Christmas Eve this year, with young Eddie and Lizzie, who will assuredly look at every light. Lisbon has a big lights house now with music on the radio playing along, and LLB has a big show with music on the hour every hour. After dinner at Buck's, of course, and before our generation descends upon Grammie et al with the greats.
Look forward to hearing that the young man throws out the mangers, Jsi, and hippos one day. Dave her, the grinch that threw out Christmas...
