I can hear Andy Williams singing it now! Actually, I am quite fond of holiday music. And our local “oldies” station apparently has gone to all holiday music all the time until Christmas. WOO HOO<\/p>\n
But I’m already getting into the music and even have ideas for my parents gifts already (which is shocking to me).<\/p>\n
It amazes me that we’re already at the weekend before Thanksgiving. Crazy. And what a busy weekend it will be. Tonight Randy and I are playing cards with Marin at Marin’s new loft in the South End. Tomorrow we’re meeting up with J.P and Earl (see blog link on right) for lunch or dim sum or something (it’ll be my first time meeting them). Saturday night we’re heading to a party, and on Sunday I’m checking out that condo again…and also going to an open house for another one.<\/p>\n
Good times.<\/p>\n
Then it’s a half week of work and the holiday season is officially upon us! I wonder what Macy’s is going to do with Downtown Crossing this year? Normally there’s a big celebration at the old Filene’s department store. But now that they devoured that company and the building is all but abandoned (awaiting construction of a 38 story residential building on top), I at least hope Macy’s did something to spruce up the area for the season. It’s bad enough they got rid of Jordan Marsh. Then they got rid of\u00a0Jordan Marsh’s enchanted village (the city now displays it on City hall Plaza). But\u00a0now there’s no more\u00a0Filene’s and I fear we’ll lose their tree, lights and bells.<\/p>\n
I can be so nostalgic and sentimental sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
