Escape of Notions

The Thanksgiving season is beginning to be overtaken with Christmas decorating. Growing up, after we got home from Aunt Clara's house, Thanksgiving afternoon was the time my brother and I put up our Christmas tree while Momma and Dutzy took a nap. We'll have a host of folks over on Thanksgiving, but I'm sure we'll get around to putting up the tree in the next week or so.

Wesley was saying last night that he loved the way his dad's house looked at Christmas, all festive with lights, greenery, and cinnamon. So, I guess I'll have to work a bit more on decorating this year. Getting creative is gonna be the problem what with limited things. This will probably be the last year he will be living at home, so I'd like to make it special. All of my boys will be gone somewhere after next year, leaving me with an empty nest. Amen or Oh me, as Brother Lenny always said.

Most of the leaves are now off the trees, and leaves are heaped in the yard. What a mess, but the crunchy sound when you walk on them is homey feeling.

The 25 days of Christmas is on TV, and I love watching all of those Christmas movies. The Snow Globe was on last night. Cute, unrealistic, yet heart warming. Well, gotta get on that cornbread!
