So excited!!! :-)

I love this time of year for so many reasons. I love that I can pitch the summer clothes for the year and trade them in for sweaters and jeans during the Fall without needing to wear a jacket. I love cooking warm cozy meals in my crock pot. I love the changing colors of the leaves... which, thankfully, we do have some of up here in the mountains. But, most of all, I love that Fall means the holidays are around the corner. I love all of the holidays approaching, but as many know, Christmas is my absolute favorite. I decorate the house for Christmas more than I do for any other holiday, I have been known to start listening to Christmas carols just after Halloween ends, and under certain circumstances have even put up my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving (don't worry, this is typically even a stretch for me). The plan this year is that the family will be getting together at our house on Christmas Day -- I already have the menu planned. Anyway, all of this to say that I am so excited for the holiday season ahead!!! I wish you all a good BOO!, a yummy tummy of turkey, and a jolly and blessed Christmas.
