Collision of Holidays

Poor November. It's become the little month that could. After the Weeny frenzy of October and the rush to bring on the glories of December, it kinda has an identity crisis.

Often it is just combined with Christmas and referred to as 'the holidays.'

Not this year. We are going to savor the month of November and all that it has to offer.

The one word that comes to mind, for many is:

THANKFULNESS

Are we full-of-thanks?

Our family is really going to focus on giving thanks this month. I saw several cute ideas on the internet, but I'm liking the thankful tree. We are going to try it, and then I'll post pictures. Each family member comes up with something they are thankful for, and then writes it on a little leaf (or other cut out) and attaches it to the tree. Then, on Thanksgiving Day, we will read all of them aloud.

Just to keep it real, you know what I'm thankful for today?

Here is a hint:

We went from this
to this in one afternoon:
No, I didn't put my fall stuff away and haul the Christmas stuff from the attic.

But I did change all of our CD's ...

I'm thankful for Christmas music!!!
