It's beginning to look...

The holidays seem to bring out the comedian in everyone in an especially festive way. Here are a couple of things I received from friends this week.

The pictures below are of a Christmas display at the Lakeside Mall in New Orleans. Funny! Thanks to my neighbors Mary and Mike McNulty for sending me these. My favorite is the pumping station. : )

And, click here for a home Christmas display you should most certainly be glad is NOT across the street from you!

The Serra Christmas Tree is up. The Nativity Scene is in front of the mantle. This weekend I wrestle with the outdoor lights (unlike the aforementioned McNultys who were the neighborhood showoffs by getting their beautiful outdoor lights up early).

Hope your Christmas shopping is going well, and remember...BUY LOCALLY, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR!

Best,
Jim
