SURPRISING STUFF
The Lake Geneva downtown is ready and waiting.
Lush green garlands are draped along business building awnings and along storefronts, windows are filled with Christmas magic, and lights are aglow on the downtown streets of Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva’s downtown Holiday Shopping Open House is this weekend. Get ready to kick off the holiday season with the Twelve Days of Christmas themed window fronts all through Lake Geneva’s downtown. Saturday and Sunday November 19th and 20th are all about getting in the holiday spirit; the weekend will be filled with shopping, dining, sipping, staying, and playing.
The downtown storefronts will be adorned with wonderful Christmas fun for the season and for a chance to win the Holiday Window Display Competition themed the Twelve Days of Christmas. Visiting the Twelve Days of Christmas on this annual holiday weekend is the perfect time to enjoy holiday decorations and start wildling away at your Christmas gift list. The Grand Geneva Resort, in the nearby Town of Lyon also has the neatest and best entry road 12 Days decorations of anyplace anywhere. Take the drive and sing the song as you move through the wondrous lighted displays when it gets dark.
The price of gas continues to sink to much lower levels.
Inflation begins to abate somewhat (check meat and cereal prices at your local grocery favorite). The ads on television have gone from obnoxious awful campaign lie ads to obnoxious awful Medicare and medicine ads. This is physical proof, right in front of everyone’s eyes that the elections are over (all except for some minor votes left to count in parts of the country inhabited mostly by werewolves and vampires. Rejoice.
Don’t mention the medicines advertised to your doctor, as it only makes doctors secretly very angry. Don’t join any Plan C Medicare thing as there is no Plan C offered by the program and the replacements for your Medicare Part B are as bogus as lottery payouts. Medicare Part B plans are not going up on price these years, by the way. That increase was put into abeyance for some time to come.
Thanksgiving is coming. Rejoice in what you have. There’s winter in Ukraine and in Wisconsin but no war in the Packer state. Rejoice.
Christmas is coming. Rejoice (except for all the radio stations switching to Christmas music only because they don’t have to pay for that open-source music to run it constantly). Reflect on those things God has either provided outright or given you the gifts to create for yourself and never forget…it’s about the people, the women, the men, the kids, the pets and all of those…not so much the stuff.
