Ha! Get it? The title says “Signs that Christmas is Near” and this post is about a sign that I made. And it’s for Christmas!
I crack me up.

So you can see that we’re up to our necks in perfect Fall scenery around here, but the time has come to start thinking about what I’m going to do for Christmas decorating this year.
I have an idea that involves making a whole bunch of signs, which is convenient because A) I have a whole giant pile of wood sitting behind the garage that’s bugging me and B) I really like making signs.
One down, fifty to go!
…and then I’ll go and change my idea, of course. That’s how these things work.
Oh well, you can never have too many cute signs!
