Christmas begins

Happy Thanksgiving 🌽🏈🐕 to all my American friends and family! 

Here in Canada there is really no good marker (like Thanksgiving is in the US) to indicate when the Christmas season should begin. Because of that, people have been putting up Christmas lights since Halloween. Around here you never know when it might be bitterly cold, so in a lot of ways it is smart to put up your lights early. Several of our neighbours have had lights up for a few weeks already. But I just can’t be okay with starting Christmas so early. 

Fortunately we lucked out today and had a warm day – a few degrees above freezing – so we were able to put up our lights at a reasonable time and do it without frostbite. 

Now Christmas can officially begin 🎄
