Have you started decorating your house yet, or done any Christmas shopping? I have put a few Xmas items out and packed away most of my fall decorations. I've started thinking about gifts I might get for others and already have a few purchased. It snowed here for the first time yesterday and it's been a lot colder.
We went to visit L at her university last week as they weather was mild and very pleasant. It was great to see her. We took a lot of groceries down, so she should be set until she comes home for the Christmas break. Yes, we spoil her!
The past weekend was busy, we went to a few College Open Houses with K and were pleased with the positive information we received. On Saturday night I went for a coffee and dessert evening at a friend's house with a bunch of girlfriends. I hadn't planned on staying too late, but came home at around 1 am, we were having such a good time. I think the others planned to stay on for a couple more hours!

The local town lights up for Christmas this coming week...they have a ceremony to light up with a procession through the town, everyone carrying a candle. Personally I have done quite a bit of pre-Christmas shopping, it's the wrapping I have trouble with....I hate that part. Everyone knows that, my presents have 'scrunched up' paper taped down cleverly with tape!! lol.
Yes, I put up a new tree that is shorter and more narrow than last year's tree. Let's see what kind of reaction I get from my grandson on Monday. It was very nice of you to furnish your daughter with so many groceries. Much appreciated, I'm sure. Glad you had such a great time with friends.
Glad you have been out and about! I will not be putting up any decorations this year, perhaps next time! Valerie
You should see the decorations at our malls, really. Sounds like you had a great time, with K and with your friends. I hope you have a good week Christine.
I have not decorating the house or buying presents yet. I just wanted to get through Thanksgiving first, now it is over. Time to drag out the Christmas stuffs, :-)
My mall had theres out since Sept. A local pizza place had a thanksgiving tree...

I love christmas decorations. Christine;these look beauty!
That IS a good girls night! Sounds perfect to me - and I am with you - I will totally spoil the kid when she's at university too - wouldn't we want that? Love that photo too - haven't even started my decorating :(

Ann I'm surprised with your artistic skills that you are 'wrapping challenged' lol.
We also have Xmas similar parades in Canada, it must be the British influence!
Lisa you should put some photos of the decorations on your blog!
Gigi, kids seem to notice these things!
On the bright side Valerie, you won't have to take them down!
Then we have to worry about putting them away again!
