I had Thanksgiving Day off, but had to work Wednesday and Friday. It was calm, relaxing day. I had dinner with my neighbors in the big house. I went for a drive late afternoon. People already had their Christmas decorations up.

People decorate like crazy here. I guess you have to in order to get into the Christmas spirit. Since the weather doesn’t change much, you have to do something to get yourself into the Christmas spirit.

No matter where a person lives in the U. S., there is always a “Griswold” house on the block. Sure enough, there is one on our block. I don’t think there is an inch of the house that is not lit up. All the palm trees in their yard have lights on them. To top it all off, they have those blow-up yard decorations on each and every lanai as well as in the yard. Too funny. I’ll try to take a picture and put in my galley.
