The Holidays are in the Air

I have officially gotten the "holiday bug." I am about to die for Thanksgiving dinner, you know the ham, turkey, dressing with cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, broccoli salad, deviled eggs, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. You eat so much that you are miserable for the next 5 hours, and then just when you start to feel a little better, you stupidly eat just as much for your next meal. I am so ready for that!
I have gotten about 1/2 of my Christmas shopping done. I am really hopeful that I may get it all finished soon. At least I am making the effort to get it done. Our neighbors put up their Christmas tree last weekend....yes, last weekend! I am kind of jealous although Brian thinks it is way too soon. So, I guess we will wait until Thanksgiving weekend to put up our decorations. We have a 7 1/2 ft. tree that we got about 4 yrs ago when we live in MS. Our living room was kind of small, so we got a slim tree. Now we have a larger living room and our tree looks kind of like a Charlie Brown tree. I want a huge 9 ft tree that they have at Hobby Lobby, but it's not exactly in our price range at the moment. Oh well, it would probably cost a fortune to buy enough ornaments to cover a tree that big. We barely have enough to cover our current tree.
I am going to make Thanksgiving dinner and my sister-in-law is going to come in with her kids. The next morning we will get up at about 3 am to hit the black friday sales! I am so pumped. I am a black friday fanatic. I will get up and go to the stores even if there is nothing that I want. It's another one of those things that puts me in the holiday mode. I can't wait!!
