Cider Press Hill

Let the festivities begin

Today, being Black Friday, I stayed as far away from the stores as possible. Which is to say, I stayed at home. The last time I went to a mall was for the lad’s Senior Yearbook pictures and I haven’t missed going at all. Sometimes I think that seeing the Christmas decorations might be fun, but the crowds and people elbowing each other make me cringe. Have I mentioned how happy I am that there is an internet?

What a horrible name—Black Friday. For a day that is supposed to be the highlight of the retail shopping year, it’s a real downer of a name. Works for me, though.

Today Christmas music filled the house. The Renaissance strains of Chanticleer and Piffaro, The Renaissance Band. Along with a little Boston Camerata. Let the festivities begin. I think I’m already in the holiday spirit. This is going to be a good holiday and I’m looking forward to it more than I have in years. Small wonder, but there it is. I’m excited and I’m going to celebrate the heck out of Christmas this year.
