Holidays...because..like..they're right around the corner...

We dont celebrate thanks giving so our next hoilday is christmas,for christmas day i have done the daughter in law nice thing lol and invited them round for dinner i may live to regret that but hey never mind then boxing day my parents are coming for dinner so double fun hey,inbetween that i will be just eating drinking and sleeping

 

It's so great to hear what you are all up to in the next several weeks! My family and my husband's family are all very near by, and so we have numerous gatherings going on starting Thanksgiving and ending on January 2! I LOVE thanksgiving because it seems to be the one holiday that has not become commercialized here in America! It's all about family and friends and being thankful for everything we have! Can't complain about the good food either! Christmas has been scaled back immensly for our families and we have made it more about just getting together and enjoying the company. Gifts have gotten cut back on, and I don't mind that a bit! I am not a shopper at all, so luckily I don't have a ton fo gifts to get!

It'll be here before we know it!

 

I can't believe it's already upon us and I'm so jealous of everyone who knows what they've got planned. We're still tossing around plans for the upcoming holidays. We usually host Thanksgiving but being in n apartment has kind of cramped our style. Man, I can't wait until our lease is up. We'll be heading to my sister's the day after Christmas for a few days though so I'm really looking forward to that.

 

how can it be almost Christmas already!?! we're heading to spend 2wks w/ my parents... will be a good, sober time. the kids are SO excited...

 

I was just talking to DH about this earlier this week. I try to get most of the shopping and preps done in November but it has so snuck up on me! But I still think I can do it. For Thanksgiving we are going to the in laws and then we will stay home for Christmas. I think my mom and her husband will join us.

 

Oh, I have no idea about holidays... All I know is that:
1- There's no Thanksgiving here
2- December will be turmoil and commotion around here (more on that later)
3- I want to spend Christmas at my own home

That's about it. All the rest needs to be figured out.

 

I started Christmas shopping yesterday when I was walking past PacSun in the mall! GREAT deals!

I have also started a couple calendar projects for gifts, but seem to have stalled out.

I am going on a sb'ing weekend next weekend (havent done that in YEARS) so maybe I will get them done then!

 

My parents had to move in with my brother, so we're staying home.

 

I am sure you are so excited about your college baby coming home for a visit Lauren! That will be exciting.

We are going to my Sister's for Thanksgiving. She moved to a new house closer to us (IL) so I'm excited that it will be a short 8 hour drive (instead of 22) to see her and her family. My parents will be meeting us all there.

Then for Christmas, my DH's family is all coming. YIKES. So not ready!!

 

Lots of driving (2 trips of 6 hours each way) just myself & 2 kiddos (3 & 1) back & forth to Wisconsin. Dave is a pilot & will be on work trips. What kind of drug sedates kids? LOL

 

well i am pretty much done shopping for my kids

need to get hubby a remote control still, we already got him a hand life cast from weepiggies and paws. I hope he likes it. And then I am going to blow him up a picture of the 3 of us!

as for ready.. never!
