You probably woke up this morning thinking that spring was on your doorstep and it was time to start planning vacations accordingly (ah, spring break). Well, guess what, winter isn’t going anywhere.
Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s cutest weather forecaster, has seen his shadow and as such six weeks of winter has been added to the calendar. The famous groundhog lives in Punxsutawney, PA, and has been looking at shadows for years, so he knows what he’s talking about (squeaking?).
What are you going to do with more winter? Another ski trip? Ice fishing? Take the kids sledding? The possibilities are endless. Kind of like winter.
Don’t let the lack of gifts fool you. The holiday season is still in full swing (for about 48 more hours, giver or take).
This display in Austin, Texas reminds us that we should keep Christmas and/or the holiday of your choice in our hearts, always. Or at least until the credit card bills arrive. Then you can pack it until next year.
How long do you keep your holiday decorations up?

These holiday lights over London’s Regent Street in the famous West End are a simple blanket over the busy town. Many of London’s popular tourist attractions are located along Regent Street and the yearly Christmas light display is a London tradition dating back to the end of World War II when it was safe to be bright again (the decorating began during the war, but consisted mainly of trees and not lighting).
If you find yourself on Regent Street, anytime of year, check out Piccadilly Circus (not an actual circus) and All Souls Church. If you find yourself there during the holidays just look up. That should suffice nicely.

This holiday display can be found in Bay Bridge, Brooklyn, one of the more popular Christmas light neighborhoods in New York (not counting downtown, those buildings are always lit).
Have you decorated your house yet?
