Hello!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was very simple. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes (that I made using Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. They were awesome BTW!!) cranberry sauce, stuffing. You know the usual Thanksgiving food. We went shopping after dinner, but ended up coming home since people were being rude and pushing to no end. We did our Black Friday shopping online instead.
Are you done shopping yet? We are almost done and we really just started last night. There are only a few people we still have to get gifts for. I think this is the first time we have ever been this close to being done before December even starts.
We have to get our Christmas cards printed so that I can start addressing envelopes and get them sent out. If you remember I won free photo cards from The Polka Dot Posie and I worked with Jen on the design and they turned out so cute. I can’t wait to see what our friends and family think of them. I will show you a picture of them after Christmas. I don’t want to spoil the surprise.
I need to get a cork board to put on our wall so that we can hang our cards this year. We usually put them on our closet door, but we put an over the door rack on our door to hang things on.
I can’t wait to decorate this year. I always look forward to decorating for Christmas. My favorite thing to put out every year is a nativity.
I would leave them out all year if my husband would let me. I bought one for this year on Etsy and it is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to get it and show it to you. I am actually starting a tradition on getting a new nativity every year. Obviously, I started it this year. Haha! We are also putting my husband’s leg lamp in the window this year. My parents got him one for Christmas a few years ago. He loves the movie The Christmas Story. He always says he is going to watch it all 24 hours when it comes on Christmas Eve/Day.
Anyways, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. The holiday season has started. In case you forget why we celebrate this season look at the picture above. That should remind you.
If you need anything clothes or unique this season for gifts check out my husband’s business. Google Nathan’s Clearance Outlet. He has CLOTHES (mens, womens,and children and babies) SHOES, BOOKS, COLLECTIBLES, AND MUCH MUCH MORE.
