I know holidays are not happy for everyone, but they do seem to be eventful times. What are you planning to do over the next month or so?
In my case, I am cybershopping today and getting my lists in order for the holiday company. I am so blessed to have all 4 of my kids and their families for New Years. Not Christmas this year. But I get to see them.
Had my son and his family for Thanksgiving weekend. The 4 year old grandson is getting so grown up, but still flashes of the baby.
We will go vist my husbands family for his nieces wedding in December and I hope to see my brothers and sisters at the same time.
We have a live tree, so it is not up yet. we do have lights on the house. My husband insists. They are pretty.
I dont get much time off after the wedding. Will be working except for Christmas Eve, New years eve and the weekends. Used to have to work them too, when I worked in the hospital.
So, what will you be doing?

we like to slow it down at cnristmans and just stay home as much as possible, life is busy enough anyway. We usually buy a few movies and just have a nice dinner.
I hope whatever you do for the holidays is peaceful and joyful
