There are the after-Christmas sales, for one thing. Not as crowded as in years past, but pretty long lines at checkout. I got some good bargains, but I'm thinking the sales will be even better next week.
Another way you can tell is that some people are already taking down their trees and not turning their Christmas lights on. I guess that's a sign of the state of the economy in a way. People didn't seem as much into the holiday at the parties I attended. They sent less cards and bought fewer and less expensive gifts.
But the new year is just around the corner. It feels as though the years go faster the older I get. Have you noticed that too? I don't have any big plans this year. Hubby is working New Year's Eve, so it will be Dick Clark again for me. I'll do some channel surfing, no doubt, to see what celebrities are on the other channels.
Whatever your plans are for that night, make it a safe and sane holiday and may you have a wonderful 2011.
