My oldest caroled once with her Girl Scout troop, and my youngest went with her vocal coach and other students to carol at a hospice house. That was both special and rough.
oh lord -you have opened a can of worms - there have been some serious debates on the cart return issue!
There was a thread about this not that long ago:
There is absolutely no reason for the driver's door of my brand new car to be completely caved in because you're too lazy to carry a kid from the cart coral back to the car.
Granted, I'm probably a monster but I found this hilarious!
I swear this was the first year since we've lived here (6 years) that we weren't the first in our cul-de-sac to put up our christmas lights outside. Our neighbor nextdoor put his up a full 8 days before the HOA allows for and normally he's later on (like at least 1-2 weeks after us). I think people were more in the mood this year otherwise I hear ya. I love Christmas movies on Hallmark but even I'm not liking having those start before Halloween.
Sometimes I do think it ruins the look but most of the houses I see with them it's not that the house looks tacky but more that they aren't trying to be strictly traditional/professional looking.
