Great pre-Christmas prepping Kiwi. I look forward to seeing your photos. :D

Reflecting on all the joys and blessings in my life due to God's gracious heart! As I am baking foods for our celebration feast today, I have so very much to be grateful for today. And one of those blessings is each of you. Thank you for being a part of my life. Wishing you love, joy, peace this day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Christmas friends. We were on the early shift so we ate at 11. And can now relax and prepare for first advent.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with good food, great friends, and loving family! Thanksgiving has always been a special part of my Christmas season. I can't imagine having one without the other. Hugs to all my CAY friends.

For the first time ever, tonight, at about 10 pm, I went out shopping for Christmas. There were no crowds at my local Walmart. Everyone was polite and calm. I picked up a new iPhone for my wife and some movies for my father. It as a good experience. I am not saying I would do it every year, but it was a good experience tonight. I didn't even have to wait in line!

My Thanksgiving was a wonderful one. All our family set aside discussions on politics [my rule at the table]. My sister's home was beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving. Our conversations were meaningful, we cheered on the Cowboyus, and made plans for Christmas. A truly thankful Thursday!

Did a little Black Friday shopping today. I bought some new Christmas decorations, but I was way more excited about the awesome deals on everyday items. :lol:

My morning errands are all completed and now it is time for a relaxing lunch. Gas prices were down - yay! The post office oopened early so all my Christmas cards and packages are safely on their way across the USA/world. Now I am staring at 10 bins of Christmas decorations; 12 sacks of Christmas decorations; and thinking.......I need a nap! :wink:
