I was in retail and retail management for about 11 years. I kind of burned out on the Holidays. I started making sure to have virtually all my Christmas shopping done my Thanksgiving (to avoid the frantic shoppers). I started a tradition of making at least a few of my Christmas gifts each year. I take the Christmas season as I like it, slowly. Today, in honor of the 1st day of December. My children Xena and Sinbad helped me set up my collection of Nutcrackers. Next Friday we will put out our little Christmas Village on the mantle, a week later we put up our Christmas tree. I will watch all the "Christmas Classics" with my children when we want to. It's a very special time of the year. I will appreciate it and enjoy it on my schedule not the Networks or the Retail chain's one. I'm now going to go mix myself a Christmas Spider and finish listening to the Nutcracker Suite.
Happy Holidays All
