Does anyone else really enjoy going to a shopping centre at night during the Christmas season, just to see the rush of all the crowds? If you haven't, it's really fun.

For some reason my sister is wrapping a present, and my brother, watching her, is singing about Lincoln. He has some very strange ideas for songs.

Christmas lights are really cool. Last night we walked around the neighbourhood looking at lights. Last year there were some really spectacular ones, but this year only one was really good. Most of the people who put up lights last year, aren't doing it this year. So my sister and I decided to make a certificate and give it to them, congratulating them for their fantastic lights. We are also going to give them shortbread my mother made.

As the Tintin movie is coming out soon, and looked interesting, I thought I'd try reading one of the comic books, and it's really good! I've never read Tintin before, but it is actually really funny.

I saw a scary sign at the shopping centre today. It said (with spooky background music) '11 days until Christmas'! AAAAAAAHHH! Who let Christmas come and sneak up on us like that? Surely it shouldn't be allowed.

Tonight my family and I are going to go looking at Christmas lights. Not as many people have got their lights up as last year. I'm considering door knocking, and interrogating them on why they don't have Christmas lights up, except we haven't got ours up yet! Last year some of the Christmas displays around here were amazing, especially the one just a few houses up. That was truly spectacular, but it hasn't been put up yet. Hopefully it will be a bit later.
