Santa, Movies, the Grinch, Snow and Christmas Lights

Sunday, December 6, 2009. It's the Christmas season. Santa Clause put in an appearance at the Wal-Mart superstore on the south side, I'm told. Main Street Theatre, downtown, has it's annual special Saturday matinees. Yesterday's was "Hotel for Dogs." Hats off to Main Street Theatre: It's not every town of 4,000 or so that has a movie theater with a half-dozen screens.


Wait'll you see this at night: He glows in the dark. December 6, 2009.

There's more to the season than going crazy looking for gifts. Easy for me to say: There wasn't much on my list, and I (finally) took care of it a few days go.

There's putting up decorations, for instance. The kids got our (artificial) tree up this week - and made a really good start on lights and decorations today.


It's cheery and warm - on this side of the window. December 6, 2009.

We've been getting more snow this weekend. Nothing spectacular, but it's been more than keeping up with what the sun melts. It probably won't be too long before the tops of the grass blades are covered. Looks like we'll have a 'white Christmas,' after all.
