And It Has Begun

The lights have started going up. I'm MUCH further ahead this year so far than I have ever been. There is a particular way that I usually do updates on blogs when I'm updating for Christmas display progress (though they are gone since the PC blogs went away, and then came back, and now I'm posting here instead).
