Is there anyone out there who loves Christmas as much as I do? I absolutely love this time of year as we head into the holidays. It starts with Halloween when I get to put my leafy, gold, orange, and red decorations all over the house. Then I replace my ghoulish fare with *turkey stuff*. My pilgrims are smiling on the fireplace mantle and on the kitchen island. My ceramic turkey peaks out from underneath the hand towel in the bathroom. I'm patiently waiting for Thanksgiving to arrive--along with an over-abundance of food, family and fun. And then . . . and then comes Christmas! As I write about Christmas I look outside to see snow falling for the first time this November. Yep--it's a sure sign that Christmas is coming. When I hear people complain about snow, the shopping, the time involved in preparing for the holidays I can't help but wonder if they experience the same holiday I do. For me, this truly is the best time of the year. It's exciting, it's fun, it's joyful and it's an amazing time to remember our Saviour and His love for all of us. Hold that thought--and make this Christmas one of the best ever.

I love the holidays too! Thanks for making them so enjoyable for all of us! Love you!
I love the Fall and even enjoy winter weather as long as I'm not *obligated* to be out in the snow. Playing in the snow is another thing!!! I've been looking at some snow shoes in the LL Bean catalog, actually. To get our lazy butts off the couch this winter, ya know?
Then there's Christmas shopping, where I drive myself crazy trying to find "the perfect gift" for people. Family is the hardest. My dad and my brother don't like ANYTHING, and my mom is very unenthusiastic about gifts.
But, yeah, I love the holiday season! :)
I love your energy! Sariah
