a lot like Christmas,,, but not really. It doesn't surprise me any more to see Christmas items on display right beside Halloween candy at Kroger's, but today was something different. I was walking downtown, really enjoying what felt like a warm early autumn afternoon. I particularly enjoyed swishing my feet through the leaves all over the sidewalks in the park. I felt like a kid hearing all the good crunchy noises. But when I got closer to downtown I realized that, while the huge flower pots are still full of blooming mums, there are Christmas wreaths hanging from every lamppost and the Christmas tree is in place over Calhoun street. For a brief minute I felt like I had fallen through the earth and was experiencing Christmas in Australia. Ho, ho, ho! It's coming, ready or not. But I refuse to skip Thanksgiving.
