Tis the Season

The magic of the season is here.  Decorations are being taken out of their boxes and strings of lights are turning yards and homes into beautiful displays. The malls are open early and closing late hoping for a great seasonal shopping and profitable close to the year.  Small hometown stores are offering bargains galore and it's great to experience the welcome and smiles the small business offer their customers.  It's a pleasure to hear the sales person say, "Wrapping is free and have a happy holiday."  Children are patiently waiting in line to have their picture taken with the big man in the red suit and a beard that tickles.  Everyone is secretly hoping they have chosen the right size and the perfect color tucked in their shopping bag. 

I made my annual visit to Bob's Garden Center in Egg Harbor Township.  It's a place I never would go without my camera, since the displays put you in the holiday mood and everything is beautiful.  This visit I concentrated on seasonal words.  HO, HO, HO, enjoy.
