I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was full of family and food, as the best holidays are. Along with all the catching up and cooing over babies, there was also lots of talk about Christmas. With the snow outside and the warmth inside, it was easy to imagine that Christmas was, as we said to one another, 'just around the corner.'
Which, I suppose it it. With Thanksgiving behind us and November soon coming to an end, it's definitely time to start worrying about wreaths and Christmas presents. Of course, I'm excited for it. You know me, I love a good party. In the next few weeks, I'm hoping to share the details of Christmas at our house and maybe hear, too, about the traditions at yours. I'm also planning a special series of December posts, which you'll be able to read all about when December first comes around.
For now, though, I'm still enjoying the last days of November. I'm going to try not to get too consumed, yet, by the holiday hoopla of Christmas, at least for a little while longer.
After the Thanksgiving excitement, I'll be laying low for the rest of the weekend, fighting off a cold and celebrating the completion of the month-long novel--hurray! If you're looking for some quiet fun this weekend, here's a to-do list for you:
Bring a different sort of tree inside.
Make your pancakes special.
Think about trying out for a scholarship.
We also had a smidgen of snow for thanksgiving! It was a welcomed surprise even though everyone was sick it was a beautiful site for sore eyes.
