Blogger Notes

Autumn is my favorite season. But Christmas is my favorite holiday. Though I put a few pumpkins and skeletons up for Halloween, I took them down today to make room for the inevitable... a slew of Christmas decorations. This is my first Christmas living with a child. If I'm lucky, there will even be 2 children present to celebrate the holidays this year. Therefore, I believe it will be an absolute sin to not go all out this year!

This means a tree, decked out with lights, garland and ornaments, strands of twinkling colors gracing every window, snowmen, Santas, reindeer and red and green on every wall, shelf, and corner so that it's impossible to forget the season is upon us no matter which way you turn. This means baking cookies of every variety, roasting a turkey for the first time, wrapping and hiding presents in odd places, breaking out the Christmas tunes and of course, the magical spirit that wraps it all in one neat little package.

I can't wait to get started! Of course, so as not to tire those I love too quickly, I will be courteous enough to wait until AFTER Thanksgiving to begin this. The Christmas shopping list and the shopping itself, however, I am ready to begin ASAP.

God, I love Christmas!
