The Café -Join Us, Let’s Chat!
 

I had 15 last night. It had been a nice afternoon, and there were about 7 really young kids between 5:30 and 6:00. Then it started to pour rain, so didn't get many more. One really cute pair had the little girl dressed as a princess and mom as a dragon.

Aww :love: That's so cute! We ended up having 20 kids.:)

It's great that you two got so many kids. :D

I didn't get any because I live in a flat. It's awkward to ring the bells of people in flats because they would need to keep going down the stairs to answer the door.

Oh wow, yeah, I can see how that can be annoying! :hug:

:nod: yeah, I can see how that wouldn't work out.

The stores here have their Christmas stuff out already!

Same here, Chris. Lidl has had Christmas food on the shelves for a few weeks. :D

I haven't stepped foot in a store or a mall in ages. Christmas already?? People, its two months away. An entire summer vacation length from school you have to wait through. Just enjoy November for what it is? :lol:

Its so perfect here weather wise and scenery wise. This morning I was driving toward this cornflower blue sky, huge orange and green trees being front lit by the light of the sunrise, with a pink hue, making all the colors surreal in their color glow. It was amazing! Great start to the day!

Hey all :wave: I like going to the mall during Christmas time, they have decorations up :love:

Leanne - sounds like a lovely way to start the day

Julie - guess that retailers around the world want people to start thinking about Christmas

Tina - I enjoy Christmas decorations, but I'm not a fan of crowds

Got my flu shot this afternoon.

Yeah, I don't like crowds either but this mall doesn't get that crowded. :shrug: Just like trick or treating, malls are a rare breed because everyone likes to shop online now.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery, Leanne. :D

Yes, Chris. The shops probably want to start selling Christmas stuff early. Or they want to ensure that they can manage to buy the stuff before the supplies run out. :)

I had a good day thanks, Tina. I watched Poltergeist. That was scary. :)

I know lots of people love them, but I don't like scary movies.

As to malls, for the most part I enjoy the convenience of having several stores under one roof. I really dislike the current trend of having a bunch of stand alone stores in a big parking lot.

I remember watching Poltergeist when I was young... too young to be watching it :lol: There are some scary scenes :thud:

Hope it was the original Poltergeist, not the remake! ;) I am a fan of all things scary, so I watched that one around age 11 and it was so cool!
