The Start Of the Holiday Season!
Debbie Mumm, Christmas Tea
Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday was accomplished – and today Christmas went up! This is the busiest week on my year. We go to friends for Thursday, but I did get up around 5:30 and sneak off to Walmart to get the papers (6 different ones) and heavy whipping cream. Then after making bread and getting all the food I was bringing ready – we left around 11am. Had a great time, came home around 10:30pm – asleep by 11:30pm – up at 3am for Black Friday. At our first “hit” (store) by 4:20am, by the time we got home (3pm) we had made over 20 BF sales, and had an SUV load of goodies. We love all the planning and shopping, and we don’t even mind the sleepless adventure – but we’re not spring chickens, so I do wonder if we can keep doing this year after year. And to get up early this morning and get all of Christmas put – now that is a lot of work! But worth it, it’s all worth it!
Blog challenge: I make all my own Christmas cards and envelopes, and I will put in a ‘family letter’ about the past year. I feel very strongly about the people on my Christmas Card list, and if we are so far apart and this may be my only contact with them, I want it to be special.
Don’t Forget: Only a couple more days to enter your Fall Holiday Cards in the contest. Please get those pictures posted! There are cash prizes!
