thanksgiving or happy thanksgiving Pictures, Images and PhotosI will not be on here tomorrow, so I would like to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I feel sometimes that life can be really tough, but when I think about it, I have alot to be thankful for. I don’t always realize that I have so much already, right here in front of me.

I have a husband and three great kids. I have a wonderful Mom and Dad and brother & sister. I have three brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws. Two nieces & four nephews. Uncles, Aunts & Cousins and more… We have a home, health & just enough to get by. I have a great friend who is going through a tough time right now, but who could teach us all a thing or two about courage and being thankful even when things get bad.

Well, another weekend come and gone. With each passing day, Christmas gets closer and closer. I love this time of year, though. I miss the warm days of summer, but there is a magic in the air now that brings a certain twinkle to the eyes.

It snowed here in Carolina on Friday, last week, and the look on the kid’s faces was enough to send your heart afflutter. It’s nothing compared to the snow from where we come from, but it’s enough to make the kids smile.

Soon we will be doing our Christmas decorating - we actually put up the outside lights this weekend. We don’t turn them on till after Thanksgiving though. With all the rush in the stores to push Christmas as early as September, we feel that turning them on before Thanksgiving, is just not right. Maybe it’s just that I’m from a whole different generation and need to savor the pureness of the season.

Prepare Now for the Holidays

Well, it’s that time of year again and time to start getting into the Holiday spirit. This is a wonderful
time of year and you should get out and enjoy. The only problem is, most of us procrastinate so much that we ruin our Holidays by putting off what we should have done now. So stop saying you will get it done and prepare ahead of time and you will feel much better. Start with:

1. Writing out your cards now. Buy stamps, insert pictures and have everything ready to go by December 1st.

2. Buy Holiday paper goods and decorations for any parties (school included) now, so that you are well prepared for any get-togethers.

3. Hang the outside lights. You don’t have to light them up, just have this task done and out of the way.
