It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I really hate how Thanksgiving gets shortchanged, but yes I did start putting up the Christmas decorations the night before Turkey Day! We were going to the neighbors for Turkey dinner so the house didn't need to look Thanksgivingy inside...and I did keep the outside un-Christmased until after the gobbling was done...which by the way, I did...six different desserts! I kind of feel like the dentist's wife who can't get her teeth fixed...I don't have as much vinyl around my house as you would think 'cause it is hard to find time to do things for me, but I did squeeze in a few little things I want to share...

We are minus the real thing so far, so I put some random snowflakes on the front door. Since I've been really, really good this year I wanted to make sure Santa knew he was welcome at our house with a WELCOME SANTA and a HO HO HO! However, my son just informed me that Santa doesn't come through the front door!?

Santa is "making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice?" Please excuse the shadow on this one, but you get the idea. Santa has already made a decision on the status of a few family members as you can see...but that can always change?!

My daughter and her husband came up with this wall decoration for their apartment and had me make it for them...the ornaments are hanging by strings of Christmas Carols! Fun idea Meghan & Ty! Well, time to get back to work...
MERRY (huff, puff) CHRISTMAS!

Remember to take time to enjoy the holidays and to remember what we are really celebrating!

"Maybe Christmas," he thought "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"
