it's the most wonderful time of the year...

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! I hope you're all having a lovely start to December and the holiday season.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

I have finished my Christmas shopping. I finished early this year due to going home to visit my family and home state for the holidays.

I love this time of year.. the joy, peace, love, and magic of the season is one of my favorite things about the holiday season.

I have been listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies since November 1st because I love to celebrate both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays as long as possible. I'm nuts for the holidays and I've grown up that way and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love... 
spending quality time with my family
giving thanks for my family & friends
watching the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting
seeing the Tree in person
baking Christmas cookies
decorating for the holidays
shopping for presents for my family
writing out Christmas cards for my family
listening to Christmas music
watching Christmas movies
reading lots of festive blog posts around the holiday season
donating to the less fortunate 
^I do this as much as I can all year but I do a little extra around the holiday season^
going to the light show
watching holiday specials
attending holiday events

What are some special things you and your families like to do this time of year?

What's Up Wednesday: October 2024 Edition

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Leftovers (meatloaf) Tuesday: Chick Fil A Wednesday: Pizza I'm not sure about the rest of the week. What I'm Reminiscing About... When the Mets were in the World Series in 2015! What I'm Loving... Spending time with family, spending time with my best friend and her kiddos, watching sports (my nephew's football games, baseball, NFL, college football), Hallmark movies. What I've Been Up... I babysat for my best friend's adorable daughter while they were at a wedding and we had so much fun. We played with blocks, read (including one book like 15 times), watched movies and cuddled, and played with toys. I did some shopping (both online and in person). I had a bestie day with her and her kiddos. We went shopping and had Chick Fil A for lunch. I've been filming and uploading videos for my YT channel. What I'm Dreading... Nothing at the moment. What I'm Working On... My content schedule for November-January for m...
