For me it is officially the Holiday season

As soon as Halloween gets here, I start thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas

I begin taking a survey of what I need to do to prepare for the "holiday season" in terms of decorating and gift giving!

This year will be a little different as we both refocus our priorities

For Thanksgiving we will spend the day with my in laws at their home in the beautiful country

For 11 years we spent Thanksgiving with my moms brothers and sisters... it was always a wonderful  gathering ~ and now it is time to move on!

Christmas Eve is at our house with my parents and the hubbies parents Christmas Day is at my parents home

Gift giving this year will be different ... we are on a budget, a tighter budget than ever before.

I need to get creative and I plan to buy a lot of gifts from local crafters and mompreneurs & my etsy friends!

It will be FUN ... I know it will

We are blessed... I know we are
