Christmas in October
Well, there you have it, my first site of Christmas for this season happened on October 6th. Now, take note, I haven't been shopping in a while, so who knows what is in the stores.
I thought it would be fun to take note each year when I see the first site of Christmas. They are always bringing it on earlier and earlier. In fact, I think that the hobby store brings it in in August, if I remember right.
Where did I see it today? Right there on the homepage of Yahoo. They have a comment to read what the hottest toys for Christmas this season are. Okay, how do they know what is hot before people even start purchasing, really?
Really, digital cameras to withstand the beating of young children? What will they think of next?
I did read about the new Nintendo which I'm sure my boys will be wanting. Sigh. It's the Nintendo Wii (pronounced "we").
It will be available November 19th. So, I'm imagining a crowd in the stores grabbing these up at 7:30 a.m. when the doors open. Crazy, huh? I'm wondering if they will run out and I'm imagining sad children on Christmas Day.
Will there be one under your tree?

It does get ridiculous how earlier and earlier things come out.... I think at our PX here it may have been late Sept. But then of course - we are overseas....
I also think it is crazy how they keep coming up with new machines all the time.... We won't be getting one anytime soon.... LOL
Wow what a thought. It is not so much really what will be under my tree. But rather we will have a real Christmas tree this year instead of that artificial 2-foot pre decorated thing we have used for the past 6 or so years. We got word the other day our youngest son will be visiting us with his current girl friend (perhaps this is the life long mate he has been waiting for and I have been praying for)! So the first words out of my husband’s mouth was we would have a REAL tree this year.
Ok I will answer the question: It will have under it gifts bought with much thought and love, gifts that will travel back to Vermont on a plane or gifts that can be folded (gift certificates) or eaten.
