Christmas in Mattoon

got into town last night with michelle to stay with my parents. randy came in this morning. we’re gonna have a great time this christmas! a couple prizes are in store for mom and dad, but don’t want to write about it here yet incase they read this. i’ll have plenty to say later as things develop. probably will write a bit more tonight and maybe some tomorrow morning depending on when people wake up.

bought a kodak zi6 yesterday. it’s a fantastic little hd video camera. i’ll be shooting a few videos with it today and tomorrow and plan to post some. i’ll take it with me to church tonight and see what i come out of there with…

it’s an exciting time here in mattoon…looking forward to an evening of celebrating dad’s birthday, church, and the evening’s surprise.

How Many Santas Can You Count

i’ve been running some errands this morning and noticed that nearly every location i went to said that santa was coming. he wasn’t visiting once, but 3, 4, or 5 times in the course of the week. santa was making appearances at multiple locations throughout town, on numerous days, but often at the same time!

he’s scheduled at cub foods, best buy, the mall, fazoli’s and a couple other sites in town from about 4-8 tonight. amazing isn’t it? i guess it’s a good thing that kids don’t pick up on this sort of thing, or do they as they get older? at what age does a child realize that santa can’t really be at 3 places at the exact same time? how many santas are coming to visit in your town?
