Holiday Season!!

Can't believe it's October already! Boy, how time flies. We're already into the beginning of the 'holiday season'. The only holiday I really care about it Christmas (and New Years of course) but I guess the term 'holiday season' makes sense. I counted about 6 or 7 holidays from October through Jan 1. I can do without the commercialism, but I love the coziness of this time of year. Only wish the weather was cooler...It's getting there, but anyway.

I'm already thinking about New Year's plans. I can hardly remember what I was doing last year. I just have a vague recollection of T.D. calling to invite me to some party his fam was having on the boat but I was already back home so I had to decline. LOL and I only remember that because I hadn't heard from him the rest of the week (only to find out he accidently dropped his cellphone overboard later that day- they still talk about it till this day!) Anyway, at the time, I had only been here for a few months so I didn't even consider celebrating down here so I just went home that week. Might have different plans this year but we'll see.

Christmas Shopping....

Already started, if you can believe it!! I hate the crowds and the 'rush' of having to finish my shopping. I never wait until the last minute so for the last few years, I've been buying things as early as September. (Yes, that early). The family seems to be getting bigger and bigger every year so I have to start with neice/nephews first, parents next, then work my way out from there.

And speaking of nephews...someone's having a birthday today! I have to buy a gift this weekend. Hopefully, I'll find something really cute.
