27 Stories: October 2009
http://laurathesis.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. These postcards are my very small haul from the September postcard show in Burlington.

http://laurathesis.blogspot.com/2010/03/christmas-lights.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. It starts after Halloween. There’s no specific when it happens, it’s a gradual building throughout the month of November, and then Wham! Its full-blown presence hits on December first. Christmas lights on houses, around windows, wrapping around trees and lining driveways. Blow-up Santas and snowmen frolic on front lawns and atop roofs. Rudolph leads the other eight reindeer across neighbourhoods, and candy canes and cedar wreaths adorn doors and windows.
