I'll start with the worst first and finish with the best!
November is the dreariest month of the 12, I think. The leaves are gone, the weather begins to turn cold and seems to be dreary a good part of the month. We don't even have white snow to cover the bare trees until the end of the month usually.
BUT, it is the month of my birth, the month of Thanksgiving. The month before Christmas - we decorate and get into the holiday spirit. I love the warmth and coziness of the house when decorations are up, music is wafting in the air (I love the Sounds of the Season channel, I keep it on almost non-stop), the smell of baking hits you when you enter the house (the time of year I bake the most).
Just talking about it makes me want to go get the Christmas decorations out!
I force myself to wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving. I don't want to short-circuit that holiday.
In fact, this year I am going to send out Thanksgiving cards instead of Christmas cards. It's gonna stretch me because I'm also doing a craft show in the middle of the month (the weekend of the 19th).
The same weekend as Christmas Through Lowell.
Our oldest daughter is due with our 8th grandchild the first week of December. She has asked me to commit a day a week to help her get some projects done at her house before that time.
SO, with all that going on I am going to cancel November classes.
If you get a "hankerin'" to do a card or two, call me and I'll sit with you personally and do a couple!
So enjoy this holiday season. I hope it is a blessed one for you and your family!
This picture is going out on our Thanksgiving card....for you, a Sneek Peak!
