Seasonal Thoughts


 
Nice neighbourhood decorations

Thoughts are turning toward the Christmas season.    I know the Americans still have to get through Thanksgiving, however quietly they may be celebrating this year.

A lady working at the drug store said she was done weeks ago, mostly via online shopping.  Her kids are younger though so they look forward to gifts.  Daughter L also did her shopping early.  I have also done some online shopping for gifts.  Have you started your gift shopping yet?

Funny, I haven't got a chocolate calendar this year, so can't eat it too early! Hugs, Valerie

online shopping seems such a privilege during such days indeed
how nice you and your daughter did some :)
longing for the happy moments is in the human nature and it finds it's way to celebrate it self somehow :)

I have birthdays to get through first. I do a lot of homemade gifts although I have not felt like getting into making many crochet beanies. I have made a few scrunchies but I don't like any of them. So I have a few beanies I have put away. I don't know if we'll be doing much for Christmas this year. Everything seems to be more expensive these days too. We are even smoking chicken this year instead of turkey. Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! I do miss Black Friday. The thrill of it which is no longer. Still, I went to Cabella's yesterday and the people who work there were out in full force getting ready for those store busters! So much stuff I don't know where the people would stand in the store.

It is kind of hard to think about the holidays. Especially, when my boss leaves me a lot of work to do while she's off. I feel I will be giving less this year. Of course, I have my boss' gift ready. It's a love hate situation.. =)

That's funny and the tree looks great! My family decided to do a white elephant this year instead of gifts. I will just give my kids a little cash and leave it at that for this year.

Sorry Christine but your adventures calendar is incorrect.
Christmas was four days ago according to my Advent calendar 😁

I haven't started buying Christmas presents yet.

We don't have much shopping to do.
The airports were busy in the US. I think they will have a massive uptake in numbers in a couple of weeks.

That's a nice tree.
We are going to decorate a little earlier this year.
Haven't bought any presents yet, but do have the Christmas Cards.

Enjoy your weekend.

All the best Jan

There isn't much to do, but I haven't started any shopping yet.

oh nice tree! As adults (my kids and us) years ago decided let's not exchange - only get kids gifts. Well the kids are all at the age they would rather have money or Amazon gift cards so there is no shopping I have to do.

I'm starting to feel that holiday stress.
