When it comes to gifts, I'm always telling my son not to buy us things, but they do. I'm going to try again at Thanksgiving...I'm also informing them $ is king for them this year. Though I purchase mostly gift cards and don't spend time shopping, I just don't want to deal with it. I don't think they will complain, I'm going to increase the amount I generally spend.
You guys still have Thanksgiving to get over, we are past our Thanksgiving so my wife is off to the races. My wife is the cleaning woman too
We always did our decorating before Thanksgiving. I alway do the small bit of outside decorating when the weather is sort of warm. I will not turn them on until closer to Thanksgiving.
Yeah, she's NUTS. When it comes to gift cards - don't want them and don't give them. Cash is king.
Dave it seems like we are married to similar types of women, I can relate to those pictures. Our house is getting crammed with decorations, but it makes her happy . Our cat Rocky is starting to get sneaky looking for ways to get into the tree, we have chased her out a couple times already.

I'm not sure that is a race I need to win, lol. It is getting hard to move around in this place. We also have a lower level of the home that is similarly decorated, plus the outdoors. My wife threw out a bunch of holiday stuff, and we gave some away over the last couple weeks, or it could have been worse.
I do the opposite of most people I guess. I enjoy the Christmas decorations but I don’t like to put them up too early. I put them out in December but like to keep them out awhile. A lot of people like to take them down on New Year’s Day but I like to keep them up well into January.

I don't believe hard fast rules about holiday decorations, everyone should do as they please. Also, once January comes around it is often so frigid that removal of decorations is not a big priority IMO so they can stay out all month.
I've wanted a lighter weight bridge camera for a long time. One that has a great zoom but isn't so heavy and pricey as the big ones with interchangeable lenses. The last good camera I bought was a Canon 40D in 2008(?) but my hands were hurting with arthritis and it became too heavy for me to use. I decided I wanted a Sony RX10 but they were discontinued and I don't want to buy a used camera, if I could even find it.
I ended up buying a Nikon P950 on Amazon. There's a P1100 that has more zoom but it's heavier and the zoom I'm getting will be incredible already. It will be delivered today. I also bought a book to help me learn how to use the camera. I took some photos with my Pixel 7 Pro cell phone today to compare with what the P950 does. It should be a world of difference.
The Nikon P1100 is significantly heavier than the P950. The P1100 weighs approximately 3.11 lb / 1415 g, while the P950 weighs about 2.21 lb / 1005 g, with both weights including the battery and memory card. This means the P1100 is almost a pound heavier, and its larger size is noticeable when carrying it.
I can get some money for that kens but I'm going to wait until I try out the new camera. My hands don't hurt anymore so I could possible move on to a new Canon if it would use that lens. I highly doubt I would though.
