Is it Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas in your neck of the woods?

Lights are decorating he cacti and suhauro in our neighborhood

Is it Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas in your neck of the woods?
yeah. Bands underneath my window while I'm trying to sleep and I keep running out of beer and forgetting to eat.
Reply:Oh chere!(pronounced 'sha') Shrimp boats' rigging, loaded and twined with lights, makes them look like Christmas trees sailing down the bayous...even the chicken coops and dog houses get decorated! I kid you not!





Cajuns have a marvelous sense of fun...every day of the year.


Now, I'm homesick...hope we have a bit of snow here in central Mississippi.

Reply:LOL, in the Philippines (where I live), it begins to look a hell of a lot like Christmas in September. XD I kid you not. :)
Reply:Yeah, our palm trees are similarly decorated. :-D As are the sailboats down the canal.
Reply:I wish I could be holly jolly! We just got our electricity back on after 5 days of living in the cold and dark. We live in a total electric apartment - our electricity went out last Sunday afternoon, and finally came back on Thursday night. We have lost food from the refrigerator, but nothing else spoiled, it was too cold in here! We have to leave, finally, and went to stay at a relative's house where they had heat and lights.





So, my computer is back on today for the first time since Sunday; my little Christmas tree is twinkling; my TV stations are hard at work trying to sell me something I don't want and can't afford. Everything is almost back to normal, except for the big electric company trucks and the dark patches where there still is no electricity. Still nearly 100,000 people without electricity. That doesn't leave you much of a holiday feeling. When you are disabled and have to use a walker and drag oxygen around with you, you sometimes don't appreciate the finer things in life!





We've had snow and ice, and more snow and ice is expected this weekend.
Reply:a little bit but a few snow flakes on the bushes and trees would make it look better
Reply:Only in the markets as they flog of the Christmas goodies.
Reply:i wished we had some snow.
