I’m going to add a “Local Blogger’s Link” to my Blog tomorrow and add the sites listed in the paper today as well as any that I come across over time. I’ve already had two more contact me as a result of the article. Talk to you later, Mick Horan PS: Sorry I used the comment but I didn\'t see and other why to say hi. Hi,

I thought people that shopped before Thanksgiving were just adding to the commercialization of Christmas. I hated seeing Christmas trees and lights the day after Halloween. I never did ANYTHING, not a single gift. Nothing, before Thanksgiving.... (and now, the rest of the story....) Then I had kids. Now, I realize that if I don't start picking up little things when I see them in clearance racks, sale bins, whatever in August, I can't afford anything by Christmas. (talk about run on sentance!!) So now, it's the day before Thanksgiving, and I'm almost done. And, we didn't have to borrow money this year! We're not going to be spending the next four months paying people back. We didn\'t deffer (sp?) our car payment this year. And, frankly, I'm not really stressed this year about it. Hubby and I decided to scale back with eachother. (ya know, I just decided that I should post about this...lol). Anyway, long story short, thanks for the insight. :) I really appreciate the thought! (I need to get a speaker like that at our MOPS meetings!!) Ya know… growing up, I was always anti-pre-Thanksgiving anything to do with Christmas.
