Mornings are cooler now. The nights are longer and the days are shorter.

I can just feel the “Christmas breeze” and the holiday cheer coming on and I feel excited. Excited for what? For Christmas season, that time of year when the weather is cooler and everywhere seems festive.

There is something I don;t particularly look forward to but I will just keep mum about it.

Anyway, I hope to get my Christmas shopping done early to avoid rushing to and fro. Online shopping (hello there, christmasplace.com for department 56, I am looking at you and thinking about putting up a Christmas village!) is so easy to do and even if one can not possibly shop online, this is the next best thing to “canvassing” shops, looking for the appropriate, affordable and wonderful gifts for loved ones and friends.

For now though, I just want to feel the cool morning breeze and perhaps get my long-sleeved shorts out to wear 😀
