November First. There are exactly sixty days left in 2011, and in those sixty days will be crammed:
Daylight "savings" time is over. Rejoice! 11-6
Municipal and off-year elections. Be sure to vote. Politics is local. 11-8
Veterans' Day: Remember those who served. I plan to be on the courthouse square at 11:00 A.M 11-11
Thanksgiving. Don't forget to praise and thank the Lord for blessings everyday, but celebrate on this Thursday. 11-24
Black Friday: For those of you who care, and aren't smart enough to stay in bed, well, the stores will be open way too early. 11-25
Pearl Harbor Day: It is important to remember our history. 12-7
Advent: Pay attention to the reason we celebrate Christmas.
Winter: The official calendar beginning of winter, no matter what weather we've had so far. 12-22
Christmas: Many people's favorite holiday. For some, as a celebration of Jesus's birth; for some the getting-and-giving of gifts; for some, just the "getting." And yes, for some a time to put on the "Grinch suit" and rain on everyone's parade. Christmas: you have to love it; something for everyone. 12-25
Boxing Day 12-26
New Year's Eve: Closing out another year, a year we hope has been joyous and satisfying, even if difficulties have been encountered along the way. Be thankful for your blessings, and be careful how you celebrate. 12-31
It's going to be an exciting sixty days!
