If you own Mikasa

I know this is way off topic, but, I went to a Mikasa outlet store today, and was surprised to find everything 30% off. They are closing all there outlet stores and going into Macy's and other stores only, or on the web. What was nice was, I was able to add one piece that I hadn't planned on, because with the discount. it was almost free. This is a Holiday gift for my daughter, so I was happy.  By the way, as we were driving through St. Charles today, we seen where they are already putting up holiday decorations, I even think that putting them up before Halloween, is a bit early.

Happy thoughts for happy holidays....I can't wait to be on the losers bench....Nov. 5th my date to join you

I would rather be stringing lights in this weather instead of freezing rain.  As long as they are not turned out I don't see the big deal.  Those that flip the switch too soon are JMO, Christina

Lisa, I live in St. Charles and I did see the Xmas trees hanging!  Winter is near :( Pam
