Holiday Spirit

Thanksgiving has come and gone. We had a wonderful Columbus Thanksgiving this year. We celebrated with Brian’s Dad and family first, and then headed to his Mom’s a bit later. It was so nice to see everyone. We had some delicious food and were all around grateful for the day. We even got to see the first snow flurries of the year!

And speaking of holidays, we’ve decided to spend our Christmas holidays with our own families this year. We figured we’d deal with the swap thing next year when we actually have to! I’m looking forward to heading to Maryland and having a Christmas Eve sleepover. There’s no way to not be in the Christmas spirit then.

So, in lieu of us celebrating our holidays apart, we decided to put up our Christmas decorations so that we can fully enjoy them for the entire month of December. I’ll tell you what - it’s amazing how simple decorations can transform an everyday living space into the North Pole. Every time we turn on the Christmas lights I smile. It’s just so warm and cozy, and such a fun time of the year. Now, it really feels like Christmas!! Happy Holidays!
