Yet...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...here at this Kingston B&B.
It would normally be sacrilege for me to get into the Christmas Spirit from this early. No longer!
Here, Richard and Michelle delight in their first gifts of Christmas
I remember being reminded that Christmas was just around the corner; a means of getting the best behaviours out of us children, with the promise of all that Christmas has to offer in the next couple of weeks. What I do not remember is any glitter or tinsel, pepper lights or gift paper, jingles and caroling, Christmas Trees or ornaments, shopping or any special activity beginning before mid December. Only the baking of Jamaican Christmas Puddings to be shipped early to friends overseas took place in November.
So, I used to get a little annoyed when the commercial activity began as early as November, and even October. In recent years, our October invitation to exchange Christmas Tree ornaments starting with our November guests, really fires up that Christmasy feeling, and our guests are equally eager to participate.
