Yeah, I will be home for Thanksgiving in just 2 short days! Always so nice to go and see family, I hate feeling so secluded down here in Maryland. I am so excited to do the Thanksgiving thing at home, even if it means I have to suffer in the cold...hehehehe. With any luck it will stay mild up there for me :)
I always look forward to this time of year, starts with Thanksgiving and goes until New Years. Its the happy feeling of giving, and decorating, cooking, and visiting family. I know for a lot of people its the most tiring time of year, but for me, its just the best. Although it can be pretty busy, shopping, and cooking, I see it more as a time to get together and shop or cook together. Some people just get too "Martha Stuart" around this time of year. They try to make things too perfect, or impress people with their gifts. Its sad that people have forgotten that the most important thing about this time of year is that its meant to be a time to slow down and enjoy what you have in life, not speed up trying to beat each other up at the mall over the last tickle-me-elmo...Or whatever the latest gift is. I'm just glad that's not the focus of my family, I've always thought that self-made, or well thought out gifts mean more. Maybe its because I have gotten to the age where if I need it, usually I can just buy it for myself...So expensive gifts don't hold as much meaning as personal gifts do....
Anyway, on that note, I am going to go ponder my xmas list for my family. See you all on Tuesday!! Can't wait!!!
