You know the holiday season has really begun when you start to see minivans with trees tied to the top. I know the ads and commercials began around Halloween but it really begins when you see those trees. I went out today to get my haircut and saw two places set up to sell trees. And today I saw my first holiday movie. I saw White Christmas with Bing Crosby. It was okay. There are so many I enjoy more but I just happened to be surfing through the channels and came across it and decided to have it on in the background while doing other things.

Next weekend we'll be putting up the boyfriend's tree and mine the weekend after that. Even though I don't shop for anyone but the boyfriend, I was up at 5:00 AM on Black Friday to go shopping. Well, I was actually shopping. I was returning something and decided to browse while out. I didn't see anything. Got any ideas for gifts for the boyfriend? He's becoming really hard to shop for.
