Anticipation

With the cold weather finally here, representing a big element of Autumn, it's time to cozy up to fires, drink gingerbread cinnamon coffee, listen to Christmas music and make plans for Thanksgiving Day. As I look forward to traveling to PA for Thanksgiving, I'm also making mental notes as to how I want to decorate for Christmas and when to start the process.
I had planned on decorating just before we leave for PA but instead I will be babysitting my adorable granddaughter for 4 days while Rachel and Jason attend a wedding in Denver. I am so privileged to be able to have Reagan for so long and she is young enough to not have separation anxiety. I'm sure in a year or so, she would probably join the majority of kids who get homesick just before bedtime and want to come home.
Decorating can wait till we get back but I'm not ruling out the possibility of putting up a tree or two before we go away.
Can't wait to buy Hallmark Christmas ornaments, look at pretty lights on houses, drink hot cider with Buttershots in it and watch Christmas movies.
