In case you didn't notice, I've changed the background on my blog to a more "winter theme." I am one of those who loves to put out her Christmas decorations early, and I am married to someone who hates that! He thinks it's like skipping Thanksgiving and taking the true meaning out of Christmas. It's not the intention, but I can see where he's coming from.
So, we compromise and Thanksgiving night I am breaking out my boxes and hauling out the holly. What can I say? I'm thankful for Christmas!! But I am always finding someway to sneak in the Christmas before Thanksgiving. I can't help it! Like in the car, the station has been tuned to Christmas since they started playing it a few weeks ago, I've let the kids watch Christmas movies (gasp! don't tell Don) and the background on my blog will slowly change to a full Christmas theme. By the way, I've already picked it out and I'm sure half of the blogosphere will have the same one...

ya, my neighbors across the street that had painted their garage put up ALL their Christmas decorations this weekend. We're talking lights on trees, house, giant wreath and Christmas tree in the window. they're awesome, but sheesh!
Well guess what my tree is up!! I live by the motto quoted in the "I Believe In Santa Claus" Christmas book. Sometimes people complain that the department stores put up Christmas too early, But I say "thank you" they are adtvertising the spirit of Christmas. They are reminding me of Christ!!!
Happy Thanksgving!!! Gobble, Gobble! I'm on your team!
I can't wait to break out my Christmas decorations either. My husband would just let the holiday pass buy without even setting up a tree. It gets more fun with kids though. I bet your kids get so excited for Christmas. Good luck with the decorating.
I have alot of fun Christmas decor (or as Kyle would call them "Nick Nacks") it is fun to put them up. I usually do it all just after Thanksgiving. We also have a tradition of cutting our own Christmas tree. I had to wait in the cold weeee hours of the morning at Soldier Hollow Ski Resort to get a permit for tree cutting. But the memories are worth it! I will be changing my blog paper soon too. Mostly because it is just so darn fun to do that!
