Farewell,November...25 days til Christmas

Whoooosh!!! November has flown by.The air is chillier,the wind is whipping up the leaves,but,thankfully,still no snow. Snow-shovelling and driving in the snow can wait til December.

Mobs of shoppers have hit the retail stores,or online shopping websites,but I'm one of the few still recovering from Thanksgiving and its aftermath.Just finished the last of the leftovers.Mmmmm.

December,when it arrives,will bring list-writing,goal-making,and wishes for the coming year.I'm not quite ready for all that....maybe tomorrow I'll be a little more prepared for it.

I guess I will think about getting the Christmas tree up,figure out Christmas menu,finalize gift ideas,and plan a busy calender which always fills up with holiday school concerts,volunteering to ring the Salvation Army bell,office party,and family get-togethers.I better get my Christmas music playing,and make some cookies to get into the Christmas spirit. But,first, I think I would like a nice nap. ;)

I'm thinking of Christmas cards,and sharing photos,and making some homemade gifts this year...so I better get moving.Wishing all a Happy ending of November,and a great start into December,before we gear up for the New Year!!! Yes, I predict lots of naps in between.
