Went out running errands yesterday. Went to the mall to waste time and cause I enjoy seeing all the Christmas decorations. Yes, christmas and not holiday decorations. Santa and a tree are christmas, not any other holiday. But on that same note, I don't understand the ugliness of people insisting on seeing "Merry Christmas" or else they will boycott.

Aren't we saturated with christmas enough as it is? Decorations, lights, commercials, the stores, santas,
salvation army kettles & bells. They all are a sign of christmas to me if it specifically says so or not. It isn't like I am exactly overwhelmed with menorahs, dreidels, and kwanzaa...(whatever signifies kwanzaa) Christmas is a government holiday, so even if you are jewish YOU MUST CELEBRATE!!!

Well anyway...I wanted to go to the mall, I like the decorations, and its a good time to people watch when it's all crowed with shopping frenzies like that. It was really crowded but most people were quite courteous and not bitchy. We sat drinking our coffees, watching the kids play on the big climby thing and watched the people parade.

I'd like to go downtown and see the Marshall Field's window decorations and sit in the Walnut Room and enjoy all their decorations one last time as Marshall Fields before they change to Macy's. We'll see how cold its supposed to be this upcoming weekend.
