it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas
toys in ev’ry store

I think you’ll appreciate this little story, being a SoCal lady! When I was little, I thought the line “Take a look at the 5 and 10″ was referring to the freeways, since there was always a lot of traffic sparkling like a candy cane with the head lights and tail lights!
