So... is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house? I know that Amanda and I are holding out for Dec. to actually get here.... But I have heard rumers that Beth, Ginny and possibly Jess have already decked their halls with the poverbial boughs of holly. So how's your festivities going?

I made the mistake of saying to Gideon on Friday November 16th "We can put the tree up and start decorating next week." So first thing Monday morning he was ready to start. Shocked

So we had the tree up and decorated by Thanksgiving. Which was fine with me anyway b/c we had a nice crowd over here for dinner on Thursday and Saturday and it made things look festive. Of course since then I have taken everything off the tree and redecorated it again. But I'm going to do my best to leave it as it is now and not take anything off until after Christmas.

I'm working on decorating the rest of the house b/c I'm having an open house Sat night 15th and Sunday 16th in the afternoon.
