IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!

Are we a bit excited for Christmas............I would say YES!  It is November 15th and we are pretty much done with our Christmas decorating.  I still have to hit the outside, but that can wait until after Thanksgiving.  I know that some people feel it is wrong to decorate for Christmas so early.  Many people feel that Thanksgiving is overlooked due to all of the Christmas "hype".  I don't know about everyone else out there, but our reason for decorating so early is pretty simple............the holiday season flies by way too quickly.  Once Thanksgiving does hit, Christmas is here and gone in the blink of an eye.  So why not put up our decorations now and have a month and a half to actually sit back and soak it all in?  We thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving.  It is one of the most meaningful holidays of the year for us.  But, it is pretty obvious, people just don't decorate for Thanksgiving like they do for Christmas.  You have to admit, the lights on the trees, and all of the colorful decorations are beautiful.  The kids have been so excited to decorate.  It is so much fun to watch them as they decorate the tree, pull their stockings out of the storage containers, find their favorite ornaments, etc.  The joy of Christmas fills their little eyes and hearts.  Here are some pics of our decorations...........enjoy:
