I thought it would be fun to go and do something as a family… and there’s this event called “Christmas in Mason” that’s about 45 minutes north of us. There were supposed to be carolers and a parade and Santa Claus and all kinds of fun events… even a parade where the doggies dressed up in Christmas outfits. I thought it would be fun.

“Thought” is the key word.

Can you say “Over Promise and Under-Deliver?”

It. Was. ROTTEN.

And I do not use the caps unsparingly. If there was a “Caps-Cap” I would use it here. Maybe this will give you an idea of how I feel about it…

They should get that as their web address next year –

(I actually think I’ll suggest that.)

It was raining a little, so I’m sure that took away from the festivities…. but it was really just a whole bunch of stores that stayed open later and a lot of teenagers walking up and down the street (4 blocks or so) throwing snowballs at each other. When the highlight of the evening is a 5-minute shuttle rider on a school bus, that’s saying something.

Yeah, something ROTTEN. :-0
