It's definitely time to start thinking about Thanksgiving plans. I thought that I'd take some time to sit down with paper and pen and brainstorm after the Chiefs' game this afternoon. No, my beloved husband wanted to go for a ride.
When we got back, we did a little pick up on the house, then I came out to my desk to do a bit of computer work. I visited a few blogs, too.
So, tomorrow night, I will sit down with paper and pen after I get home from work. I need to invite the kids home and organize our Thanksgiving meal. I'd also like to think of an activity or two or maybe a game we can play after dinner.
We might go ahead and set up the Christmas tree and let the adult kids add their ornaments. I gave them ornaments every year when they were growing up. The idea was for them each to take them when they moved out. Only one of my four did! So, we still have a zillion ornaments that they hang each year. I think I'll just put them out and let them add ornaments as the day goes on when they want to.
So, I'll need to think about food, activities, timing, and the tree. Next step will to be to start thinking about Christmas. That means collecting all the gifts that I've made or collected through the year, organizing them, and deciding what still needs to be made or purchased to fill in the gaps.
I'll touch base with you again soon.
Are you making lists for Thanksgiving and Christmas yet?
When do you like to put up your tree(s)?
Be blessed,
Laura
Thank you all for your marvelous encouragement to me after my last post. I cannot tell you what it meant to me. We all need it these days. Remember who calls the heavy laden and gives them rest— Jesus.
