The holiday season nears

No sun today. Cloudy, and -15 (F).

Ah, North Pole weather!

It makes it easier to stay in the shops and get soem work done.

The final push is on. Just 32 days left until Christmas Eve.

In the United States, Thanksgiving Day - the fourth Thursday in November - traditionally marks the beginning fo the Christmas season. Of course, many stores and mallls have gotten an early start.

My friend Lee, who helps me with this blog, just e-mailed me to say he had gotten a job as a mall Santa.

I've been telling him for years to give it a go. I'm happy for him.

Now, back to work!
