My favorite thing happened the other day. I walked into Wal-Mart and headed in the direction of the items I needed, and as I got closer to the garden center, I saw Christmas lights hanging just above the entance. I got so excited that I immediatley forgot the whole purpose of my trip to the store! I always love when the stores start putting out decorations. My children and I spend hours every year just browsing them. On evenings that we are bored, and it's not quite time to put up our own decorations (my husband refuses to put anything up until the day after Thanksgiving), we get in the car and head to a store (any store will do) to see the displays. It's part of the magic of Christmas for us. We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and we'd love to know what gets you in that holiday spirit.
