I know by the calendar that it must have been going for the past week.. but then, I don&#8217;t get out much.. .. I noted more chritmas lights up on my drive home from work.. and even spied a christmas tree in one house.. The signs are up for &#8216;cut your own&#8217; trees.. and the mail box is full of catalogs&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This year, like all of the past 6, brings a mix of emotions&#8230; that&#8217;s natural. I guess<br \/>\n all in all, I like the season.. i lie the weather.. I like shopping.. I like the decorations. but most of all , I love the distraction.. everyone is running around sort of out of their minds&#8230; whether its end of year work deadlines or shopping.. or just love of christmas, everyone&#8217;s minds are on a thousand different things..  that they should\/could be doing.. Maybe I like it because the worlds distraction level catches up with my own ? Maybe I just love the chaos.. Now if i can just find that Alvin and the Chipmunks song.. the mood will be complete <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_7450.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5306\" title=\"IMG_7450\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_7450.jpg?resize=474%2C632\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_7450.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_7450.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_7450.jpg?resize=150%2C200 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>nite all, nite sam..<br \/>\n-me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has started.. today I walked in the grocery store and heard my first strains of christmas music..
