It's christmas!!!


In the states, October is for Halloween.
November is for Thanksgiving.
December is for Christmas.
But here in Swaziland, we don't celebrate Halloween or American Thanksgiving.
So Christmas can start in October!
Yeah! I'm so happy.
I went grocery shopping at Spar yesterday. There were giant gingerbread cut outs hun from the ceiling, Santas, wreaths with bows and bulbs, pine garland, and Christmas candy!
I'm so happy!

hey...i saw an ad on tv just this week promoting Christmas...and Fisher Price has hit the airwaves with the enticement of all sorts of cute expensive toys. believe me, it's started here too. only with totally different emphasis from that of southern Africa.

let me know if spar puts up the life-sized tropical santa this year.
