The Christmas Store is really cool for those who are into Christmas. They offer everything Christmas oriented that you can think of: Displays, stuffed pieces, wooden pieces, ornaments of varying origin and stylization, etc.
Now you would think this store would only be open nearing the Christmas season, but you would be surprised to find out that they are open year-round. They have so many neat things in there that you can look, go back 2 days later and find a whole pastille of things that you didn't see before. It's really something!!
Well, I'd taken Mom when she first got here but she wanted to think on some of the items she found inside and so today we returned to see what new caught her eye and what she saw before that didn't hold the same allure. I must say, the woman shops hard! After almost an hour she'd made her choices and checked out - twice.
Then we headed back to Bristol so that we could make the after-work-bowling party with David's office. This time, they lumped all the people who'd previously done well at the other parties together and we found that we were all off a little bit so we didn't do near as well as we would have liked. Ah well, it's a good thing we were just doing it for the fun of it instead of for a league or anything serious like. After bowling we all headed to Frankie & Benny's for some good food and some after-bowling chatting. A very good evening and most enjoyable!!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Mom and I are cooking the turkey dinner with stuffing while David heads to work. Thanksgiving isn't a holiday that he gets off work while working here in the UK so Mom and I will be very industrious while he's away. I'm looking forward to having Mom here for Thanksgiving as last year the 9 lb turkey was up to just David and I to eat . . this year there will be at least one other person to put a dent into the meal and lessen any leftovers. I hope you all have a good Thanksgiving!!!
