Our town would have a small parade right after Thanksgiving through the shopping square and on that day the decorations would appear.<BR/><BR/>It made the Christmas season shorter and more exciting. Several years ago, we were in Kentucky for business and left at the end of the summer where....true story....the Venture store there had just put up their Christmas trees!<BR/><BR/>Sigh....how do we change all of this?Pattie - Chicagoland, ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266118934262083104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-5458077312011571862008-11-24T10:45:00.000-05:002008-11-24T10:45:00.000-05:00Going to the stores can be so overwhelming.

I do not normally decorate for Thanksgiving, but this year (the first in OUR home) I have a few pumpkins, a harvest wreath, and a cute stuffed turkey!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06630692362199413787noreply@blogger.com
