Always a special thanks going out to @dswigle for making Market Friday so much fun from week to week!

I am very happy to see they have been making good progress in improving the quality of "white" LED light. There was a time where the only choice was either harsh or warm with a side of greenish hue... Yuck!

Menards has their Christmas section going full tilt. How can you not love a gnome tree topper lol.

This tree caught my eye with its frosted needles on the ends. Of course the price also caught my eye and said to me to move right along you cannot afford me!

I really thought this rose gold colored Christmas tree was neat for being unique. Not to mention, the price was quite a bit more attractive!

I am generally an open minded person, but somehow the red ombre Christmas tree was not doing it for me. Is it a tree or a candy cane!?!

Many people know I consider Warren Buffett to be the GOAT when it comes to simple financial advice. Charlie Munger is right up there too. I love this quote from Warren:

"Warren Buffett: "My partner Charlie says there are only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage. Now the truth is, the first two he just added because they started with L. It’s leverage."

However I would like to add taking your kids to the eye doctor and buying glasses and contacts to the list! Yikes!

Finally I bought some nice bar chairs from Amazon Warehouse for the halfway house.

Unfortunately it was missing a leg and two bolts were stripped.

Ah well at least it is the holiday season, right?

You are really getting me in the Christmas spirit! Menards really has a nice display, don't they? Except perhaps that candy cane tree. That is just wrong. In so many ways. Aren't trees crazy price this year? Even the real trees! I am not shocked by much in terms of Christmas prices, but, that had me gasping for air.

No lie!

I am quite pleased with the hue of the white LED's also. They were shockingly awful for a long time. I avoided them like the plague! I actually bought a few more lights this year, because none of us has less than 100 strings. eyroll But, I really like them. :) Does that count for anything?

Contacts and Glasses... an expensive outing to say the least. It is that time of year to get my eye checked too. It never used to be too bad, until one day, it quadrupled. Perhaps even a little bit more than that. Maybe I blinked one too many times.

The chairs are nice, well, except for that rogue broken-up one. Amazon will make it right!! The Halfway house will be up and running in no time! Nice to see you posting on #MarketFriday. I appreciate the support. Good thing I found you! You know, not dropping the link and all. LOL

Thanks for the Christmas music, Old Guy style! That was a lot of fun!

Don't miss the small things in your life, they usually make no noise but can be indicators of bigger things. I enjoy learning more about you and hope you feel the same, that is why I find it important to take the time to read a couple of #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment. It is important for a community to do this, learning about others, and getting to know each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life. All this fun and money too. What is not to love? That is one of the reasons I joined Hive. How about you? :) I hope you are having an amazing week!

#MarketFriday loves you!

I know how much you love this time of year, thanks for sharing your Christmas Spirit!
