It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Thanksgiving has past, so we are now officially into the Christmas season (even though stores have been advertising for Christmas since October J).  I hope that you all had a lovely Thanksgiving spending time and sharing lots of good food with friends and family.  We had a wonderful time here; it was great to be able to spend time with everyone that was able to come out for the occasion.

I am one of those people who won’t put up Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving, so I am just starting to get a few things out.  I got a Christmas countdown set of boxes about a month that has been sitting ready to hang up as a result.  Since it started on December 1^st I decided yesterday that I should get it hung up.  Especially since in each of the boxes there is a little “activity” for us to do.  For example the first one said to plan a Christmas type outing, that is what got me started decorating.

Next was the wreath for over the door.  A lovely LIVE noble fir wreath that smells divine!  I got it from a high school student from church who was selling different greens for a 4-H fundraiser.  I know that will bring up memories for some, remember the demonstration every year in band! I can still see the candle center piece sitting on the piano J.

Since the countdown boxes were up, and the wreath was over the door I decided that it would be a good idea to change my “little house” (I don’t really know what else to call it, and am open for suggestions, especially since I will probably be referring to it every season when the decorations change) from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

At least in my living room it is…Beginning to look like Christmas, everywhere you go…

Enjoy this preparation time for Christmas and take some time to do something special with friends or family, because it will be here and gone before you know it!
