This was a post I had begun late Thanksgiving evening, after the Tryptophan had kicked in, after the football had been played out.
Often before the bird is even sliced, people are charting out a course of action for tackling Black Friday doorbuster deals and Cyber Monday online steals.
While half of the family is toiling in the kitchen cleaning up the pots and pans used in preparing the Turkey and all of its' accessories, the other half of the family may have made its' way outside to begin hoisting lights up on the house.
We made it a point to begin placing our village pieces out early, to really enjoy them for the entire Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday.
Little did we now our boy would be sick for 10 days with some cough and stomach bug.
Needless to say, our plan would come off course for a few days.
We ended up getting the tree decorated by the week before Christmas (we displayed a half-decorated tree for our Tree Trimming party on Dec. 5th!) and we created two small vignettes:
"A Christmas Story" was placed horizontally across our mantle, while our various remaining Dickens Village was laid out on a dining room decorative table.
Guess what - it's January 23rd, and it's all still up! We've simply time shifted our Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season, probably until just before the Super Bowl.
