The Christmas 'season' usually lasts for a month and a week. From the day after Thanksgiving to New Years. It's a crazy over here during this time. All kinds of people shopping, santa clauses everywhere. I hate the whole 'commercial' aspect of it, but I do like Christmas time.

Lot's of beer and strip clubs all day. (my usual Thursday activities)

I changed my mind. I want in on Spectrefate's Thanksgiving tradition.

I'm going to go visit my mom in the old folks home, and have the turkey dinner they make for them there. It's pretty scary how at home I feel at the nursing home...just a few more years and I'll be there to stay myself I guess.

Actually it's Labor Day. Do you celebrate Boxing Day?

Nothing Thanksgiving isn't important where I live. I think that Thanksgiving isn't important for people who doesn't live in USA.

I don't know, it seems kind of like an important event in your native land.

I didn't realize Canada had Thanksgiving too.

Anyway - we made it back last night. It was a good time! WOW Colorado got a LOT of snow! Good thing I have 4x4 on my truck lol.

Actually, here in Texas, we got a little snow (no acculmulation, but still...over here anything but sleet is rare). The kids were in awe, however, spending three months in boot camp in Great Lakes, IL (January-March) I have a natural dislike for snow and wasn't impressed (I always say I can go the rest of my life without ever seeing snow again).

We got some here in New Mexico too (although that's pretty normal). We're quite a bit more mild that Colorado but we usually do get some here.
