i dont decorate till the day after thanksgiving, it's my tradition i guess, right now i have turkey,scarcrow type decorations up for thanksgiving and a hickory smoked fully cooked turkey in the freezer that hubby got from work, and we are still not sure what we will be doing for t-day, i need a new dinning room table, if i get one than i might have some people over,if not just us then. all our family lives in ohio so we won't be doing anything with them. i do have my x-mas decorations down from the attic though, and i do have a couple presents boughten, i like to try to pick things up as i see them through out the year, but my unkle is getting a divorce and so my grandma doesnt know what they are doing for christmas and we usually have a gift x-change but they dont know htis year? i'm glad you are so prepared! i wish i was! in all aspects of life! but my two toddlers see to itthat i am not.
