One month today! One more month that is going to fly by until Christmas is upon us... wow, I'm pretty sure that last week I was complaining about how hot it was and wishing the summer to be over (I guess the first thing about me to be effected by age is my concept of time!!)
Today is the official mark of the holiday season, it's Black Friday and we have exactly one month to go... So we all know that for the next 30 days everyone will be running around looking for the perfect gift for little Timmy or little Sarah and even though I think that the perfect gift for EVERYONE on your list is one of my sock monkeys, I know that it's the malls that will be buzzing with shoppers. Impatient, grumpy shoppers! See, another reason to buy my sock monkeys - no grumpy shoppers, no fighting over parking spots and no line ups!
I have managed to once again over-commit myself for the lead up to Christmas... I think secretly I need some sort of chaos to keep my batteries charged, or that maybe I enjoy the punishment. I have barely started shopping yet (usually I'd be done by now), with the exception of a small start to my brother's gift and half of my nephews' gifts - which I'll be honest I had already done in my mind months ago... They are my very favorite little people out there, who never fail to make me smile. Next weekend, after some gift shopping their Mom and I are going to make tree ornaments with them - or should I say, with their little hand prints!! I found this idea online and now I can't wait to make it with them!
I'm really starting to get excited for Christmas, I can feel the energy building... and I'm already thinking about where the tree is going to go this year since I moved furniture around a few months back... I've already marked a date on the calendar when my hubby and I will go to the Capilano Suspension bridge to see all of the lights... and I'm making my first trip to the Christmas store tomorrow morning with my Mom! So aside from the eight trillion things on my "to do" list this month, I'm ready to get the big day going already! I am hoping this year will be a white one, as we have been promised by all the weather forecasts, because nothing sounds better than being with loved ones on a snowy night having a glass (or several) of red wine in front of a fire... well, except SOCK MONKEYS... come on, you know you wanna - go buy a sock monkey!
