Happy Holidays 2007

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! I know I ate more than my share of food - a plate for me & a plate for the baby! I am doing well, a bit homesick, but excited about the holiday season coming up. I guess this is my one time a year to get girly and do some decorating! I love decorating my house for Christmas - and this year I am going to take up a bit of baking.

Yes. Baking. The lovely art of crafting delicious cookies from scratch as I pull my hair out, scream and get into the holiday spirit. Well it's my first attempt, and I know I can do it. It will be interesting and Derek said he'd already be prepared with the camera. I am certain there will be interesting pictures.

The tree will be going up tomorrow and I cannot wait to start decoration shopping after work. I am trying to grasp some Christmas cheer - which is proving to be rather difficult this year since our weather has been so warm. At times, it's a bit difficult to get the spirit going while gazing at palm trees and blue skies - but then, I don't know if I'd really give that up. The midwest does seem to be tugging at me though ~ maybe in the next few years, I'll plan a holiday back home!

Warm Holiday Wishes to All!!
