You will find the craziest Christmas display in the area: a full-size creche next to the garage; the garage is Santa's workshop with animated electric squirrels, chickens, and elves; the living room is filled with Christmas ornaments; the yard has more electrically-animated creatures; and the roof is loaded with antique displays that might have once been in a traveling carnival. There aren't as many antique carny displays as there used to be (cost of repair, cost of keeping them lit/moving, etc). As a kid, I enjoyed finding my favorite cartoon characters displayed on the roof. While you find yourself out and about in KC, make sure you hit Falmouth St at (roughly) 76th on the KS side.

It will be winter soon. Snow is inevitable. How else will we make snowpeople? I'm enjoying this warmer weather as well, but I also keep in the back of my mind the sudden changes that can occur in this vortex. Enjoy the sun while you can, it might be a while before you see it again. :) You still live in the midwest so you have to accept the weather as it comes. It will be winter soon. Snow is inevitable.

I think you're buying tickets for a butt kicking. Keep rubbing the beautiful weather in, when Canada's getting colder by the minute. Insane! Hmmm… I think you’re buying tickets for a butt kicking.
