Hi,  When I got up this morning (Wednesday), my wife handed me the
newspaper opened to the 1/2-page advertisement from the Lowe's store.
It announced the beginning of their 50% price reduction sale of all
Christmas decorations and animated figures.  That, of course, included
the infamous Mr. Christmas music box.  So, I hustled myself through
breakfast and drove down to the local Lowe's store, anticipating the
throng of people standing in line to get in.

Well, the place was deserted.  And there were _not_ ten people standing
in line to buy the last music boxes.   So _I_ did.

Actually, I just got two of the four left: one for me and the other for
a friend who was interested.

I'm sorry to say that I have no way to get this to you all right now,
but if our store is any indication, you should still have a few to
select from if you get there tomorrow.

By the way, Sam's club still has them, one in the store near me and 10
in the store across town.   Don't know if or when they will go on sale.
Happy Holidays from those of us holding forth in the frozen north.
