Getting Ready
This is the time of year, where I am putting the Halloween away and getting ready for Christmas. Yes, I am an early bird, but I love this time of year. I will start watchin g my Christmas movies and preparing for all the fun I will have. I like to make plans about when and where to do things. I like to get myself into the mood of Christmas and see all the romance and joy this time of year. Oh yes, I know Thanksgiving is on its way first in some places, but for me, nothing tops Christmas. All the joy and merriment, all the fun and romance. I love this time of year. And yes, I may like to do a lot, plan, organize and manage, but it is all worth it. And of course, all the family time, how important that is. And fellowship with others. I just cannot wait for it all to start. So I start early because not only do I like being prepared, I love having fun while I prepare. This year, I will try to make Christmas bigger and better. Let’s see how well I do. I will post all my moves each week and write about all my plans and the fun I have this year. So have fun reading and let me know what you all do this time of year. Are you an early bird like me or are you a late bird? I would love to know.
