As a Thanksgiving baby, I get kind of peeved that Christmas gets all the shine.
But even if I wasn’t born around Turkey Day, November is my favorite month anyway.
The weather gets a little cozier, but not outright frightful. Layering up (and covering that post-baby pooch that just won’t go away) is encouraged, and did I mention the food? Fall food is so much better than summer food. I feel weird eating soup in the summer, or pot roast or any of the other delicious meals that make life so much better.
I saw Christmas stuff out in stores two weeks ago and made a decision right on the spot that this Christmas would be different. My kids have a house full of stuff. And by “house full” I mean it. They still have practically every toy, book, puzzle, etc. they’ve ever received, so five years’ worth of stuff is threatening to eat my house alive.
This Christmas will be about the memories, not “stuff.” It will be about family. And Jesus. And enjoying life’s simplest gift: time.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, everyone! Save a plate for me 😉
This is so real…I want this holiday season to be different too…The past few years have been drama drama drama…. And fall food is the best food!
Here’s to making the holidays about what they really are! And thanks for the banner – I see you!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVINGBIRTHDAY!
Amen to that! I would love to adopt a family this Christmas. I still might be able to, we’ll see.
