On to CHRISTMAS!!!


We had a great Thanksgiving at Tim's house.  I don't think any meal tastes better than Thanksgiving dinner.  As much as I love Christmas it is not as much about the food as Thanksgiving is - there is so much more to think about...like what's in the presents under the tree?? (among a million other  things...) Thanksgiving is so special because it's about reflection and thanks for all the wonderful things and people in our lives and we can focus on just that and yes, the food!! It truly is a wonderful holiday! BUT, now we move on to Christmas, my most favorite time of the year!!  As most of you know, I am always traditionally late in getting my decorations up, shopping done, etc. etc...but I must say it doesn't usually matter cuz I enjoy every minute of it, no matter when I do it. BUT, this year - I want to go on record as having my house decorated (inside only...) a week before Thanksgiving!! I know it's amazing (for me) and it will probably never happen again...but I'm leaving this week to travel - for shows, family time in AZ, and a litte vacation in Las Vegas, tack on a work trip at the end, and I don't return until Dec. 20th...so it was do or die...cuz doing it all the last week would have been very risky!!  


Looking forward to spending holiday time with family in AZ - it so makes this another wonderful Christmas - being fortunate to see those that we don't get to see every day and doing holiday shopping, celebrating, and just being together at such a wonderful time, the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!!

"Tis the reason for the Season!!"
