It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

     Mom and I have put up the Christmas tree and we have decorated the house.  The old family nativity set has been set in a place of honor were all can see on the desk.  Christmas lights are starting to appear in town and you can see Christmas trees sprouting in the windows of the houses that you pass on the road.  Christmas presents that wrapped in glossy paper are starting to appear under the tree and Bing is wishing us Merry Christmas.  Secret meetings are taking place where we  plot about Christmas morning surprises in hushed whispers with occasional over excited screech .  Christmas cookies are in the oven filling the house the the rich smell of cinnamon.  Grant is watching Christmas with the Kranks and his laughter in ringing throughout the house.  Silver bells are being rung at the door of every store in town and everyone is wishing you a merry Christmas.  Nativity sets are being constructed on church lawns to remind us of the reason for the season in the midst of the bustle, making sure that every one has a special gift under the tree.  Yes it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
