- Entering a building from the back and smiling down at this sweet window, with its plants and tiny stained glass ornaments. A wee Christmas tree with sparkling lights was barely visible within. - A printing company Christmas gathering in which we all are supposed to bring a gender neutral gift to play a funny game in which "The Night Before Christmas" is read with the words "right" and "left" inserted in various spots. We were to hold our own gift and start passing right and left when the words came up. No one was supposed to end up with the gift they brought and it worked out that way. The burly man who handles shipping ended up with the holiday mug set I brought. He nodded at me and said, "We'll use them on Christmas morning."
- Seeing some neighbor activity in front of building three at the condos, I walk up and chat with the two men madly decorating the trees and building. It is a work of art each year and this year the light display will be set to music. As I walk away, one of them calls out, "Sunday night! Santa will be here!"

I got a Whitman's Sampler - have I said how much I love chocolate? I had a piece with my first cup of coffee this morning.
I love Christmas, too. My favorite things are the outdoor decorations and the music.
Lance -
Santa will be fun - I am excited about that. :)
I love the idea of the gender neutral gifts. Sounds a bit like Secret Santa.
So what did you get?

I like that the basement office occupant makes the most of his / her surroundings.
There were about 20 of us there for the little game.
Yes - love the lights.

It was the perfect gift and Santa is definitely coming early. A couple of friends already asked me if my neighbors were decorating again. I am going to get them over there Sunday night.
That last one was such a cute story!
Riot Kitty -
Those are a couple of Christmas loving men!
there is such anticipation around the holidays...so do the lights really go with the music?
Brian -
The music does go along with the lights and somehow you can even set a radio station in your car to go along with it. Pretty cool.
Your weather is still holding out I see.
Have a Kick Ass Holiday Lynn....G
Galen -
