Before Thanksgiving there were a few early birds that had their Christmas lights up. As I took a walk tonight I noticed that more and more folks are getting their trees, shrubs and houses decked out.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
While at the gym tonight I noticed that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was on network television. The show premiered a couple of years before I was born so I've been watching it for as long as I remember. As a kid I loved the stopped motion animation, the music, the voice characterizations (especially Burl Ives as the snowman/narrator) and, of course the hokey yet cute story.

Cottontail On the Trail
A sculpture close to home on Minnehaha Parkway is Cottontail On the Trail. Neighbors usually help outfit him for the holidays and this is what he ended up looking like by the time this past weekend was over. Cottontail On the Trail is a bronze sculpture by Jeff Barber and is located where Portland Avenue intersects East Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis.
Santas
I collect Father Christmas/Santa figures and found this one this past Saturday at one of my favorite independent stores, Gypsy Moon, in St. Paul. I shopped there as part of Small Business Saturday.
