Not to the races but to the holiday season. I love the holidays, all of them really. I love all of the excitement that comes with them and the decorating and the magical feelings that come along with the holidays. D does not share my enthusiasm. Oh well I just remind him that its for the kids not him. Mr Ba Humbug.
With Halloween quickly approaching I am thinking more and more about the holidays. We even tried to grow our own pumpkins this year. We got a few of them but we will still have to go out and buy some to carve. OH well it was fun. I have even had my house decorated for the past three weeks. E is going to be a cowgirl, I have found her almost everything for her costume. D and I will actually be going to a party this year so I need to come up with costumes for us. C says he is too big to dress up and trick or treat. I just rolled my eyes at him. I have dressed up almost every year.
After Halloween comes Thanksgiving, who doesn't love all of that food. I love food and I love to be around family. I don't get to see my family very often so it is really nice to get together. Plus the Chiefs are playing the Broncos on Thanksgiving this year so that will be a very good day. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the day after though. For the past probably twelve years one of my Aunt's and I go shopping. It is a tradition now. We get up way before the sun comes up and go stand in line at whatever store has the best deal and we spend all day out shopping. All day. Its really great.
Then comes Christmas. I love Christmas. I love the memories of it I have from growing up and I can't wait to have my kids feel the same way as me. I always go overboard at Christmas time. I really do start out with good intentions to curb the spending but I just can't help it. I love giving presents. I have to find the perfect present for each person. I have already finished up half of my Christmas shopping. Only because I have some birthdays throw in the mix and that gets expensive.
Oh holidays here they come and I am so excited for them.

Ahhh, another Holiday lover! Kudos to us for being almost done shopping too. Bring on the winter weather ;) Someday, I'm going to introduce you to my winter holiday pal, vanilla latte :p
Yes. I needed this. Since the holidays are usually hard for me I sometimes forget that they can be a lot of fun. You can be my holiday spirit. Or at least my kick in the pants. ;)
I need some Holiday cheer as well. I don't know why they've always been hard for me. I love being around my family and of course the food...but the rest...sigh!
Go Bronco's..lol (like I care if they win ;) )
