Well my dad was in WW2 and my husband in the Viet Nam war - so they believed enough to fight for our freedom - to make sure we have the freedoms promised to us in the US Constitution which Andy is studying now in his US Government Class. So Veterans day means a lot to us too.Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-23006355918080490972015-11-11T15:47:11.418-08:002015-11-11T15:47:11.418-08:00Since I happen to live in the great state of Maryl...Since I happen to live in the great state of Maryland, I have seen the Mids and their Naptown Funk...fabulous!

They deserve the utmost respect and to me a hefty bonus courtesy of our government:)<br />I am SICK of this craziness about Christmas..its a beautiful holiday and its one that transcends religions. My Jewish and Moslem friends alike LOVE it and enjoy coming over to ooh and ahh over my tree and often offer to help me decorate it. It is a wonderful holiday and the spirit should be celebrated by all......great video too!<br />And last year was the first year I got the flu shot but not the last, will be getting it done this week, thanks for the reminder:) I just love "your hood"......The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016560832999165943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-8842385250447489242015-11-11T12:42:53.209-08:002015-11-11T12:42:53.209-08:00I LOVE the video by the Middies.

It's great to see the work of her great team on display in this musical number!<br />Now, about those Starbucks cups... To me red + green = Christmas. I don't get how this is a "war on Christmas".

I love Christmas Decorations, Christmas Trees and Christmas Carols. The cup thing is totally absurd. I wonder if Starbucks started the controversy themselves to drum up business. All the Starbucks posts on Social media is making me crave Starbucks and I don't really go there!<br /><br />As for the weather, enjoy it. It is still so very hot here in Miami...like gross sweaty hot. I really crave a sweater day.Japolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298168458099473725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-9244187647259330812015-11-11T08:45:13.570-08:002015-11-11T08:45:13.570-08:00Your neighborhood is gorgeous!

I always wonder if people who put their tree up on Nov 1st run out of steam by Christmas. I'd be so ready to take it down, long before the 25th. Stores are in it to make money so I think we have to live with that. Lowes had trees up in September which shocked me a little. I guess people like to buy early?
