Planning a Matheson Christmas, Post #6, A little bit of Everything

     

          I have been overlapping the barriers between holidays here in the last week. I've dabbled in Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. Yesterday we went and got our pumpkins, and can I just say how I prefer having Thanksgiving first. My uncarved pumpkins are out getting rained on (hopefully cleaned) before we turn them into Jack-o-lanterns in a few short weeks. Our Thanksgiving plans don't have me hosting, so I've been looking more to our wardrobe, and starting to ponder wardrobe for Halloween and Christmas too. I know about 4 years ago I was scrambling to get my outfit for my holiday party the night before.

         We got some dollar store decorations to put up for Halloween. I have never gone too crazy, but Jake gets a kick out of the Halloween decorations when we go to the store, skeletons in particular.

         As for Christmas, it's been about my lists. The grocery one obviously, my pantry is pretty full, and the non perishable list has dwindled. I got into my frozen over the weekend. Where it isn't separated from my other items, I alway leave a sharpie nearby to put a "c" on it.

        I also looked to my gift list. I set myself a due date of Dec 1st. I'm weird about crowds, I can be in them, but if I feel like I'm in a rush in them, not a good time. So I go for getting it all done early. This is also incase I need to go the online route, or need to send something. For this reason I'm deciding now what everyone is getting, so I can start picking the gifts up one by one.

        K, Luv Ya, Bye
