Parade of Lights! And Betty's Excellent Holiday Spirit!

It's official.  This morning I turned our Pandora station from "R. Kelly" to "R. Kelly (Holiday)", and you know what that means! The Christmas music assault on your ear balls has begun!  Personally, we freaking love Christmas around here...so much so that we penned you a little story...

'Twas twenty-four days before Christmas on the Hip Strip...
While "Can I Be Your Santa Claus" by Keith Sweat played through the speakers...

 

and all the Betty's were dressed up in their elf-ish union suits...

 

And the stockings were hung by the dressing rooms with care...

 

 

 

A special Parade of Lights travelled down Higgins Ave...with fun activities for the whole family!
