Getting in the spirit

Today dawned much cooler, around 48 degrees. I was instantly drawn into the holiday mood, and all it took was a drop of about 30 degrees! It helped that people around me are already putting up Christmas decorations. We will do that when we get back from the great outdoors. The kids are getting excited about the camping trip, although there is a fear of bears lingering in the background of their conversations. I've told them that bears are more scared of people than people are of bears, but they don't buy that. I don't even know where the idea of bears came in to their minds. They are more likely to be attacked by a charging armadillo than a bear, but I can't very well say that!
