Sleighbells are ringing, are you listen'. That's an old Christmas song by Bing Crosby. He was an old crooner. A crooner was, ah hell, this is getting complicated, go google the rest and enjoy any or all holidays you have.

I was talking to my wife about this stuff a couple of nights ago, wondering why we haven't heard our first Christmas ad on TV. The way that Madison Avenue pushes Christmas shopping makes me sick of the season by the end of Nov.

I have many of the Bing's originals on 78, including that one. I play them on the Victrola.

You ain't watching enough of the Idiot Box, Steve, I've seen a few Christmas Ads already! Plus my wife had been watching Christmas movies on some channel (WE or Hallmark or something) since July.

Slow night here, only had 28 kids come to the door. It could be because the town is having a fireworks display and lots of kids want to see that instead of trick or treating.

Slipped over to the local Walmart Halloween night thinking I'd grab myself a couple bags of cheap marked down candy that was left over. Nope, all gone and Christmas candy in it's place. I'm guessing they must be freezing the candy until the next Halloween.
