I was going to mention this as well. I hope that more places will continue adopting this law. I also hope that it is enforced quite strictly, too, especially since I have also seen many people disobey the new law.
It's been law here since the spring and every day on the way home in traffic, you see people on the phone constantly.

Oh my bless your heart! I know your mind was racing, Thank God they're OK! Which kid was the ringleader? The oldest or the youngest lol?
I asked who's Idea was it to walk? My son pointed to his younger sister,I looked over at her and I swear it was straight outta a cartoon,whistling,looking up at the sky with a big coolaid smile on her face,She's 7 1/2!!! LOL
I had to pick my heart up off the ground.one of the teachers was like,dont panic,dont panic,the Principal said we've never lost,but we've misplaced a few!!! I wanted so badly to kick them both down the stairs,but luckily my hubby has the cooler head and sad we dont have enough to bail you outta jail.lol
Thanks, much! There is a video already uploaded to youtube as well!

Also, there is an ITN news piece on it as well. It's a very nice watch. Definitely made me smile! Good to know the tradition of the lights until the Twelfth Night still carries on.

My neighor just decorated for thanksgiving today. So as you walk along the sidewalk in front of our apartment building you get turkeys everywhere followed by my christmas countdown sign.
I'd love to go to Pigeon Forge sometime, though LOL. From what I understand, they are VERY similar at the holidays (and probably all year round). I think next year we will try PF, as we've been to Branson several times now. I'll have to remember to hit you up for suggestions in that area.
My season also started on Nov 1st... I decorated for 11.5 hour straight and Im still not done! ACK! Its my 12 ft tree that I have the hardest time with.. afraid of falling of the ladder not to mention the ladder is heavy and having to move it and climb UP AND DOWN a million times to get more decorations to add. But 3 full size trees are up and just one needs decorations. I went shopping for more stuff yesterday. Picked up quite a bit
I think the having to use a ladder thing is the only thing that would ever stop me from getting a 12 ft. tree! It does scare me quite a bit LOL! Make sure you post pictures - I'm sure it is all beautiful!!!!!!
I'm glad they were safe, but that would have scared the you know what outta me too! I hope the interview turns out well to make it worth the scare! Best of luck!!!
Just after midnight here in St. Louis, so now only 51 days till Christmas and 9 days till the season!!!!!! Yay!! I'm so excited
I just found out, thanks to RJD on the Christmas broadcast listing that one of our local stations changed formats to Christmas music a couple of days ago! Woo hoo! I can't wait to tune in tomorrow on my way to work. Thats a great way to put me in a fabulous mood!

i start an hour earlier every day , frequently work late and still end up taking work home. im worried sick to be honest.

I'm getting impatient. I want to go home and it be Christmas now 
I'm sick of essays and presentations and everything. Gahhh.
It's freezing here. But no sign of snow. Which is disappointing.
I've decided that this year I'm going to try to go and see my little cousins in a Nativity play if I am home when they perform it- that'll make me feel so Christmassy, remembering what it used to be like to do those shows!!!
