Will you change the color theme of your Christmas decorating this year or keep it the same? I plan to keep mine snowy/icey white & crystal another year.

Ours has always been the same. Reds, Greens, Golds, and Silvers. But in the last couple of years, we've added a few hints of blue. I don't like the blue so much, but Michelle does. :D

It's the best week of the Summer, time to get those Leon Day plans together. Who else is spending Leon day watching Christmas movies with the family and having a dinner worthy of Christmas Day! :smilecc:

UPS to Add Delivery Surcharges for Black Friday, Christmas Orders.
The surcharges unveiled by UPS will hit its customers during the busiest shipping weeks and on the most popular products during that time. Between Nov. 19 and Dec. 2—the weeks encapsulating Black Friday and Cyber Monday—UPS is adding a 27-cent charge on all ground packages sent to homes.

The peak surcharges won’t be in effect for the following two weeks, when shoppers typically take a pause, but they will return for the final holiday rush. From Dec. 17 to Dec. 23, UPS will charge an extra 27 cents for each ground shipment, 81 cents for next-day air and 97 cents for two- or three-day delivery.

Yeah, there's a lot of bad 'isms' floatin' around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism. Make a buck, make a buck. Even in Brooklyn it's the same - don't care what Christmas stands for, just make a buck, make a buck. - Alfred, Macy Janitor

Sounds too Christmas fun! It will be Midsummer weekend here in Sweden, but we find time to share a half cup of coffee, half muffin or other treat, and maybe Watch a half hour Christmas special.

Welcome back Christmas friend. I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise.
And congratulations on the new cousin. Babies are such a joy!

Summer starts tomorrow. That means we'll be halfway to winter and almost halfway to Christmas.
